could be a stupid question but anyway.
the general amount of sag for a dh bike should be ~35% but do you measure this when standing in a "race" position or when sitting on the seat?
because with a VPP bike you have a sweet spot for pedaling around the 35%. and most of the pedaling is in the saddle if you would be climbing. But when you pedal on a dh track downwards it is possible that you are either standing or sitting.
And where does the 35% come from? experience or scientific reasoning? and with all the changes in dampers and linkages does the "old" 35% sag rule still work. because a lot of people need a lighter spring when they switch from for example a dhx to a ccdb
