I have a 140mm 27.5 Mezzer pro. I weigh 235, with kit about 254. My sag is at about 23% with the way I have my fork setup currently. 123PSI IRT and 88PSI main. Rebound I have 4 clicks from close, HSC 3 clicks from close and LSC 4 clicks from close. Looking to get a base line for tomorrow and also of my sag is too much? I ride 50% small bump trails and 50% descents with roots and rocks and some maybe 2 foot largest drops. Thanks!

Bump

i'm not your weight but i usually start with HSC all the way open and rebound and LSC on the faster side of my usual pushing down while stopped feel. Then bracket LSC on repeated runs.

There's a lot of discussion in the Mezzer thread. I will max out LSC before moving to HSC and I run higher sag on more travel with more IRT. For example, I want 140mm ride height, I'll set the fork to 150mm travel and lower the main pressure to get ~30% sag and up the IRT for a steeper spring curve in the last half of the travel.

Don't forget though, if it's a new fork you don't want to be wasting your time with set up if you haven't first done a basic service to make sure it's properly internally lubed. There's also a break in period.

It’s been on a handful of rides and I did do a service on it. I took it from 170mm to 140mm. By max out, do you mean open?

Good question! By max I mean maximum damping.

Suspension terminology is so confusing.

Ah! So “open”. I’m afraid to run everything open.

the terrain I ride sitting down is just bumpyish dirt with some muddy areas. At the same trails there are very rocky downhills (standing) Not loose but very bumpy. Also 2ish foot drops from one rock to another downhill. Some medium sized roots.

Open and closed is good...
