FAQs
What is suspension sag?
Suspension sag is the amount your suspension compresses under the weight of the rider (and any gear). Proper sag is crucial for optimal handling and performance.
How do I use the zero set point?
The adjustable zero set point allows you to establish a reference point directly on the tool, so you can measure the sag directly without needing to do complex calculations afterwards.
Can this tool be used on dirt bikes and street bikes?
Yes, the reversible multi-scale design accommodates most mini and full-size motorcycles, including dirt bikes and street bikes, provided they fall within the measurement range.
What material is the tool made from?
The tool is constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum, known for its strength and light weight, and features a durable blue anodized finish.
What is the maximum measurement the tool can take?
The tool features scales measuring from 0 to 120mm in 1mm increments.
How does the folding design benefit me?
The folding design makes the tool significantly more compact, allowing it to be easily stored in a toolbox, tool bag, or even a backpack, making it highly portable for use anywhere.
Are the markings on the scale durable?
Yes, the markings are laser etched into the aluminum, providing a durable and clear measurement scale that resists fading or wearing off.
Troubleshooting
Scale markings are difficult to read.
Ensure the tool is clean and dry. Use adequate lighting when taking measurements. The laser-etched markings are designed for clarity.
Tool feels stiff when unfolding/folding.
Gently clean the pivot points. A small amount of light lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) may be applied to the pivot mechanism. Avoid over-lubricating.
Inaccurate readings obtained.
Verify that the zero set point is correctly adjusted before taking measurements. Ensure the tool is placed on a flat, stable surface and that the suspension is static. Re-read the measurement carefully.
