Front/rear suspension balance

Hello all,

Been wondering something with my suspension. The most sag I can get on my forks is about 12% ( I have the correct spring for my weight). The question is what should I do with the rear suspension. Set it up with 20% sag like most people recommend or keep it at 12% to make it even with the front. Would making the rear softer affect the handling much?

Thanks

Most firetrail still ride-able but creek crossings flooded with fast running water. fist-size rocks on most of the trails sadly still not swept away by the rain. Your move, Noel.

New Bike Advise

Hi Guys,

I am after your collective wisdom on which bike I should buy. I think I have secured a budget of around $3.5k -$4k. I only ride XC and was looking for a dually (old and soft !).

Any thoughts on what would be a good buy at the moment ?

Cheers

Taking an objective view, I'm calling it amber as there has been no notice of closure from the council rangers and in my opinion it wouldn't be "atrocious" or "a complete no-go".

Lane Cove National Park update for 24 Nov

Status: 
Amber/Some Issues

I heard on a reputable website that Noel " can accurately predict that there is currently at least 1 foot of water flowing pretty quickly over various Lane Cove NP causeways making it dangerous to cross."

So probably best to wait until there's been a few days of dry weather.
