That, I know it's definitely not enough for me for 2 up riding.

So are you saying 2 additional full turns when she gets on the bike from where you have it set for solo riding? Thanks.

Mine must be broken then. Two full turns will not move mine to account for passenger. Either they are broken, I am doing something very wrong or my wife's name is Mary and there is something about her....

Seriously though, she is probably not even 110 lbs. So, I must be doing something wrong. But now, I don't remember if it's 8 "half turns" or "full turns". She doesn't ride me with much, so I will probably have to do it again when we go next time.

It takes me 4 movements of the coil to complete a full turn. If that's what you are doing then you're giving it 2 full turns. If it was me I'd get her and a 3rd person with a tape and start over. I completely messed up when I first set my sag so I suppose anything is possible.

My wife is 115lbs, I had to do 4 full turns to get the 1” sag back. Most of the time I just split the difference and went with 2 turns and leave it there. It’s a little firmer when I’m solo and a little softer when she’s on, then you can play with the rebound and see if it works for you. If I go for a long ride I take the bags off and give it the 2 turns up or down depending if it’s a solo ride.

I measured and adjusted sag with my wife both on and off. When she is going to be on, it’s 5 full turns.

She’s 150lbs. I ride with the rebound on 2 both two up and solo.

I’ve got the 13” Revo A’s on a ‘22 SGS.
