Measure from a point on the axle to a point on the rear fender with the bike on a stand so the wheels are off the ground.
With the rider geared up, standing on bike in normal riding position and take the same measurement. (108mm is ideal, up to 115mm is acceptable for a stable ride in higher speed bumps. As little as 100mm can work well in super tight woods riding)
Once rider sag is set, free or static sag (the same measurement only with bike weight, no rider) should be 25mm to 40mm. Less than indicates a heavier spring rate is needed. More than indicates a lighter spring is needed.
