Default Suspension set up

Been reading about setting up my suspension for my weight and to be honest dont feel that confident that I could do it myself and not end up killing myself. So does anyone know of any places local (Middlesbrough) area that are any good and dont cost to much?

Cant help with the area and a good shop im affraid. But I would say at least try it yourself. You can tell if it dont feel right way before you even get to pushing it enough to crash

Start with Sag (preload) and then fiddle from there Oh and record your setting atm, just incase you need to put it back to something you at least know.

Greek's right, make notes. Try this:

Even setting preload right can make a big difference for the better
