Shock set-up can fluctuate greatly based on
the rider. The set-up guide is intended as a
base line to get the rider started. Experiment
with your settings to find the set-up that
works best for you.

TOOLS NEEDED
• Shock Pump
• Metric Tape Measure
01. AIR PRESSURE
The main air spring controls the sag of the shock.
For the SB5c to ride properly it is important to
setup the shock with the correct amount of sag.
The SB5c works best with 15-16MM of measured
sag. To increase the sag reduce the main spring
air pressure. To reduce the sag increase the main
spring air pressure.
03. REBOUND
The rebound has 14 clicks of adjustment. The rebound knob is the red adjustment dial located above the
blue compression damping adjustment lever. As a general rule, adjustments that are too fast (counter-
clockwise adjustment) will produce a springy ride with excessive kick-up of the rear end causing a bucking
sensation. Adjustments that are too slow (clockwise adjustment) will cause packing of the rear wheel
indicated by a sluggish ride feeling ride.
Slower rebound- turn the knob clockwise
Faster rebound- turn the knob counter-clockwise
02. SAG
Once you have set your baseline air pressure you
need to measure the sag. To measure the sag
slide the travel indicator (O-ring) up against the
shock body. With a friend supporting the bike and
with the shock in "descend," sit on the saddle
(do not bounce) and allow your body weight to
compress the shock. Once you have compressed
the shock, get off the bike and measure the
distance between the shock body and the new
position of the travel indicator (O-ring). This is
your sag.
