Last night I christened my Tyre Truer reducing the rears to 46mm (being the largest people recommended) and 45.5mm on the fronts. Rounded the corners and applied the contact tyre decals for the protection.

Ok so then I got out the ride height gauge aiming for 4.5mm at the rear and 4mm at the front, again based on info here and elsewhere.

Not suggesting they are correct and maybe coupled together very bad but thats what I ended up at last night.

I have the front independent suspension set up and found it quite straight forward balancing the O ring damping against spring compression to get the desired height.

The rear however through in the extra variant of the single rear central grub screw which I'm guessing is two things...pivot point and sag adjustment. I wound the grub screw all the way out, and then adjusted the springs until it increased the ride height to 4.5mm. I then wound in the grub screw until it contacted the chassis whilst unloaded.
So it has no sag currently and under load or not loaded looks like this from the back, any corrections, advice and how too's much appreciated as ever. I have blues on the rear and greens on the front.



Thanking you in advance
Refers to the manual for axle spcers and rider height, you have way too much spring pre load.
