Adjust rear shock(soften) mongoose ledge 2.1
Understanding Sag
In order to let the suspension work properly, we allow some of the rear-wheel travel to be used when supporting the rider's weight, this is called 'sag'. The basic idea is to have around 10-20% of your bike's total travel as sag. This allows the rear wheel to drop into dips in the trail and maintain contact and traction.
Adjusting Sag on Rear Suspension
Changing the amount of sag in the rear suspension is done by increasing or decreasing the spring rate of the rear shock. The rear shock's body is threaded and you will notice there is a nut on one end of the spring. Turning the nut in the direction that compresses the spring will increase the spring rate and reduce the amount of sag. Turning the nut in the direction that expands the spring will decrease the spring rate and increase the amount of sag. Never turn the nut to the point where there is space between it and the spring, this may cause damage to the shock.
Front suspension
Not all front suspension forks are adjustable, but if yours is, you should find adjusting nuts on the shocks. Check with the manufacturer if in doubt.
