Suspension Tuning – Fox Factory Pro-Tune

Suspension tuning is as diverse as the disciplines of mountain biking.  Some people constantly tune and tweak while others are afraid to touch the settings on these magical little items.

Well, if you fall into the later camp Fox has developed a website to help you do an initial setup of your forks and shock.  This includes videos on sag, rebound, compression and finally bracketing your settings.  Bracketing is basically testing adjustments at the top and bottom end of the adjustment spectrum.    Unfortunately, Fox doesn’t take advantage of the site to provide baseline settings based on weight, riding style etc.  Fox does use the site as a massive advertisement for their Protune service.  Overall the videos are a useful introduction to suspension tuning.
