How do I actually set up my fork and shock absorber on my mountain bike correctly? The question of the correct suspension setup has been around for as long as suspension forks have existed and to be honest, I've always avoided it. Negative travel, rebound, compression, high speed and low speed compression... It was time to get to the bottom of the matter, so I went to Flatout Suspension in Dortmund and discovered that the subject is not as dry as I feared... and important! I hope the video helps you a little if you don't quite understand it or want to refresh your old knowledge.
