I finally got around to putting these on the DRR. I am trying to find a starting point for the air pressure. My daughter weighs 115 with all the gear on.

I saw that it said it comes from the factory at 50 PSI which is geared for a 185 LB rider. So would somewhere around 30 psi be a good starting point?

Thanks,
Darrell

Remember the air pressure is used for preload, like if you were to crank down the coil spring nut on a standard coil shock. So you want to use the air pressure to get the proper ride height. Make sure with your daughter on the bike, the front is slightly higher than the rear. If i remember correctly when we did the testing on the shocks, we had about 32 lbs in the front, and considerably more in the rear. But that was with buddys skinny behind on it.
