spring works to make the shock shorter. The
negative spring works only during the first
part of the shock stroke, in effect helping
small bumps to compress the shock. This
makes the Sugar feel plush. After a small
amount of shock compression, the negative
spring ceases to have an effect, and just the
positive spring resists large bumps.
With a Fox rear shock, pump up the pres-
sure to around 25-35 PSI less than your
body weight in LBS (see chart below). With
models that provide damping adjustment,
try 2-3 turns in from fully fast. This is a
good place to start. You should experiment
in small increments to find what works best
for your position, terrain, body weight, and
riding speed.
