RockShox Tora 318
Well I pulled out the wallet and the Washingtons squinted from the long period in the dark.
Yes I'm a cheapskate but I've been shopping around and when I saw the sale on Trek Fuel EX6 on sale for $300 less than anywhere else in the country (believe me I called around) I had to buy it.
In three days I put on over 60mi of some very sick terrain and its handled well.
I would like to get everything adjusted to me, however I'm not overly experienced in that department.
The front suspension is a RockShox Tora; I'm 5'9'' and a bit over 190lbs (muscular/top heavy).
What would be the best pressure setting for me riding XC rocky hills?
Thanks in advance...
Ed

is it an airfork? i think you'll just have to experiment. some like soft settings some like firm. does it have positive and negative air? just use the guide that comes with it to start.

Thanks Everyone,
I'll keep playing with it. I've been on it everyday since its purchase and providing I don't work overtime tonight I'm hitting another unknown (to me anyway) trail in the area.
Desert riding is tough but I have over 150mi of trails just moments from my home. Look up mountain biking in El Paso, TX.
By the time I get back to the east coast I should be able to handle anything.
Good Riding All,
Ed
