The following Set Up Instructions are supplied with every Revalve performed at Too Tech Suspension. The adjustment concepts are the same regardless of who worked on your suspension. If your bike does not respond to changes suggested in this article, the internal valving needs to be changed to suit your requirements and expectations. I enjoy working with tough situations so feel free to give me a call.
