how to set sag?
I searched and found instructions but am not having luck changing back settings.front is good but rear is 11.11 mm's and should be between 15 and 20 mm. That is according to chart that I found on this site. This is with shock springs set to the lightest setting.They did not get better after changing the spring settings.It was measured r-1 = 12 1/8 r-2 = 11 31/32 r-3 = 11 11/32. I am not sure what to change but shocks are cheap emgo shocks. I may be doing it wrong? Maybe shocks are just really stiff. Any ideas? In case I'm way off f-1= 9 3/32 f-2= 7 7/8 f-3= 7 13/32

I have not seen that "chart", so have no idea what all your numbers are, but personally, I would not fret over 3.89mm.
Besides, it's better to have not quite enough, rather than too much. If you really want more "sag", start eating.

Hi,
Those cheap EMGO shocks are going to be stiff no matter what you do. I've got mine set on the lowest preload and it's still stiffer than I like. They'll do until I can afford something good.
Thank you for your indulgence,
BassCliff
