Whats the right way to set sag?

I have elkas all the way around with zero preload. What is the proper way to set your sag?

Thanks for your time!

As a general rule of thumb, the race sag dimension should be about one-third of the maximum travel. Your bike should be at normal racing weight, including fuel and engine oil, and wear all your gear.

Put the bike on a stand and measure the distance between a fixed point on the axle and one on the chassis somewhere.
Then get on the bike (all gear etc) and have a friend measure the distance between the same two marks that you measured when the bike was on the stand.
Subtract the two numbers and thats your race sag. Try to start at about 1/3 of the max travel and adjust to your personal preference from there:)
