Can you reduce travel on a MTB fork?

Yes, your a2c will change by whatever you reduce the travel by. The spring rate will also be affected so you will have to add a few more psi to achieve the correct sag (according to the Fox link below). Keep in mind that reducing the travel will also change the geometry of your bike. Take a look at the link below.

How much sag should a mountain bike have?

Most manufacturers recommend that you set your sag somewhere between 25 to 35 percent. If your sag is higher or lower than that, you need to make some adjustments by attaching your shock pump and increasing or decreasing the air pressure in the shock and running the calculation again.

Can you adjust the travel on a RockShox Pike?

Drop 10cc of RockShox 0-W30 oil into the bottom of each leg and slide the lowers on fully. Screw the bolts back in and torque to 7.3nm. Pop the rebound adjuster on. As you have adjusted the travel of the fork, you may need to adjust the volume spacers in the fork.

How do I adjust my mountain bike position?

Sit on your bike with your heel on the pedal and the pedal at the lowest point of the revolution. If your leg is bent (as above) raise the saddle until your leg is straight. Raise your saddle until your knee is almost locked out with your heel on the pedal when it is at the lowest point in the revolution.

Can you increase MTB fork travel?

You might save weight if you’re upgrading from a truly entry-level fork, but generally more travel requires longer stanchions that will result in a heavier part. As forks get longer, stanchions also increase in diameter to prevent the fork from flexing like a wet noodle.

What PSI should my mountain bike shocks be?

Often yes, usually rear shocks run 100-200psi, but fork psi varies a lot, depending on the design. Get the sag around 25\% (maybe slightly less sag in the front than the rear) and see how it rides (that’s what really matters), adjust on the trail as needed.
