Cane Creek has an appealing 40% off sale. I read a few reviews and still don’t fully understand how the air spring works. You add air to the positive chamber and then manually bleed the negative while keeping the fork extended - check sag. If the sag is incorrect you add more air then manually release negative again. Seems odd? How do you keep tracking of your settings? Thanks.

It’s the exact same as any other air spring but you’re just equalizing the positive and negative chamber by hand instead of it doing it by itself. Most forks you have to compress a few times when filling it up to transfer air into the negative spring, this one you just do manually after filling it up.
