Manitou QL Rear Shock Air Pressure
Fellow MTB Lovers,
I just got a quick question. I have the Manitou QL rear air shock and it didn't come with any user manual. Looking at their web site doesn't show any specs or manuals either. So, I come to you with my question: does anyone know the max PSI to put into these little air shocks? I think right now I have it at 150psi but want to know how high I can/should go before I break something...so I don't actually end up breaking something. I personally don't like too squishy of a ride so I like it to be pretty tight, only to give on the major drops, etc. So...any input would be greatly apreshated! Thanks! -swhite44 |

You should check the sag by tying a wire tie or something around the shock and sitting normally being careful not to bounce. When you get off, measure the distance the tie moved. It should be 25% of the travel. Inflate or deflate accordingly. |
