Just bought this bike today, however the shop lost the manual. Anyone have a manual, or know if the setup video on the trek website is accurate? The current video there is for the DRCV shock. I believe those came on the 2010. Mine is the RP23 XV? Sorry, my first FS. The "resources" link is not on the 2009 ex 9 archive page on their website either.

Can't get to the fork info, give it a try. If you can bring back the link please. I am getting "file not found" when i get to the "fox forks" link.mightymouse said:

That is a whoopin, just bought the bike, and it is already outdated. Would there be much benefit to swap to the DRCV shock?

How much do you weigh? I wrote them down and can give you a good estimate.

Here's another option, if you haven't seen this already. There's a rear suspension setup here for 2009 EX 9. As far as the fork, I wasn't able to find it here on a quick search, but there's a few docs to check.homegrownta said:

Sorry for the delay...
I have for 155-170lbs
Fork: 75 psi
rebound 6 clicks from slow
Rear Shock:
160 lbs:-- 110 psi
170 lbs:-- 120 psi
rebound 5 clicks from slow
I run mine a little more than suggested. The best way to set up IMHO, is use these numbers to get close then measure your sag (15-20% for more XC feel, 20-30% for more all mountain feel), set the sag right, go ride and adjust according to your liking. I like to set my rear rebound with the curb test (ride off curb, set rebound so you get one stroke, no bobbing). I am always playing with my front rebound... so not much help there.
