Other Sag on fox different to Rockshox

[DuncanDoughnuts]

Hi.
I managed to get my hands on a 2021 expert which seems to be a upgrade to my 2020 comp.

on the comp I would set my lyric up with 25-30% sag depending on where I was riding.

reading the fox manual for my 36 they say that for needs to be to be set up between 15-20% sag.
What are your findings for those who run 36’s ?
What sag are you running ?

I have kept the sag around 25%, but I have 170

Go with your usual sag and then adjust according to how it feels. I do that with every new bike and/or fork/upgrade.

General comment on SAG - too much (25%-30% and more) might ruin your riding experience. Your fork will feel more plush at the very beginning of the stroke (superb small bump compliance), but your mid stroke (the spot where you spend majority of time when riding aggressively) will feel too high in the travel, where air spring is way too progressive to provide comfort and support.

The same applies to a shock, but in case of rear suspension too much would be 35%+.
