For Dub BB’s use the supplied 2.5 ?Deviate spacer behind the driveside BB cup and the 2mm dub spindle spacer behind the chain ring

The idler wheel will add extra "tooth chatter" to the system. This is the trade-off caused by having it push up against the tension of the chain, in order to create a more secure chainring fit.
Make sure the chain isn't worn and is very clean and well-lubed. And not to have the idler sitting to close to the chainring, by sliding it back on the T-mount or rotating it down via the isgc tabs.

The best method is by removing the front shock bolt. Then allow the shock to move backwards and rotate the shock out towards the non drive side, the rear end will then lower (and the shock moves forward). This then gives you access to the rear shock bolt which then needs to be unscrewed.
To install a shock it is the same as the above process but instead in reverse.

We suggest using the manufacturers recommendations based on your rider weight to achieve around 30% sag. Alternatively you can use the chart below as a starting point (the correct spring rate for is ultimately subjective, there is no ‘one-size fits all’ approach), use this chart as a guide only.
