As I've never had any kind of suspension on a bike before (Yes I'm that old) wondering if there's any tips for setting my front fork suspension up on my new bike?
Just a starter for ten would do, it's a Cube Hybrid Acid One with SR Suntour forks (I know they're not the best but perfectly adequate for me) the literature is poor to be fair only telling you how to adjust for 'Sag' but doesn't really explain what to look for when setting up for this ' Sag'?
Do I set it so there's minimal 'Sag' at standstill or am I over thinking this and just adjust to suit my own needs by experience/ type of riding?
Sorry for all the no doubt noob questions but this is a whole new ballgame from my previous bike experience

Hi
Basically you set sag in and around 1/3 suspension travel when your sat on the bike
If your on road more pump them up just a touch more
Hope this helps just don’t over think it unless your doing hard core off-road work
