voge 300 rally suspension upgrade with sag damping and tire baseline
I am planning a voge 300 rally suspension upgrade because the bike dives on the road and kicks on rocky tracks. I want it calmer, not taller and more expensive for no reason.
I found this related page while comparing notes: voge 300 rally suspension upgrade. I wanted a practical thread before ordering parts.
Would you measure rider sag, static sag, preload range, fork oil condition, shock rebound, tire pressure, luggage weight, linkage bearings and the same trail section before buying parts?
