I just purchased this fork and am looking for an idea of how much air pressure to start with - The owners manual DVD and Fox's Flash web site seem designed to make it hard to find information.

Can someone point me to some information? BTW, I weigh 160# or so.

Thanks,

John

To answer my own question, 75 PSIG for a first approximation.

A lot depends on where your center of balance is but 75 seems like a good starting point but probably on the high end. I've found that fox air forks get really progressive near the end of travel so you can get away with running less pressure without fears of bottoming out. I end up setting mine with the lowest pressure I can get away with without suffering horrible fork dive under braking.
