Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper setup starts with setting the sag on your SR Suntour shock; aim for approximately 25-30% sag for a balanced trail feel. Always verify that your tire pressure is set according to the terrain—lower pressures are better for grip on loose dirt, while higher pressures protect against rim strikes on rocky trails. For maintenance, keep the drivetrain clean and lubricated to preserve the Shimano CUES shifting precision. Regularly check the hydraulic brake lines for potential leaks and ensure your pivot bolts remain torqued to manufacturer specifications. Clean the bike after muddy rides using a soft brush and water; avoid high-pressure washers, which can force water into sensitive bearing seals.
