Nomad 1.0 and Evolver Setup

I'm 185 pounds and I use about 180-185 in the main chamber, about 60 in the piggyback, the bottomout chamber fully open, and the high and low compression adjusters fully open. I had it on an '06 Nomad and now on an '08. Probably the best air shock going.

Thanks TNC.

Stage 1 swapout complete, and the changes are substantial. For the first time, Im able to set my Nomad with a proper 15mm of sag.

I'm not a small boy, 6'4" and 270lbs, running what was an XXL Nomad (refered to as an XL now). I used to have to crank the DHX Air to 300psi to set a remotely reasonable amout of sag (22-25mm is teh best I could do usually). The Evolver only took 240-250psi and easily sat at 15mm.

She's passed the "carpark test", i'll hit the trails with a shock pump on the weekend to really dial her in. Just struggling to work out what the remote air chamber does. I whacked 65psi in there as you recomended and it runs fine, but I need to find out what running more or less air in there actually does to the ride. All the other settings are self explanatory.

Don't get too immersed in trying to set an exact sag number all the time. A good ride height and attaining full travel will be better guides for this shock. On the bottomout chamber, I wouldn't go below 60 psi, and be aware that you're dropping air pressure in the chamber when you open the chamber up. Always reset pressure when you change the volume until you get used to how the pressure rise or drop is working for you.
