4 // SETTINGS AND VARIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS
For suspension models with Air/Oil cartridge system
Before starting, ensure you have a high pressure pump and your usual riding gear.
• Place the rubber O-ring against the fork leg.
• Sit on the bike in a normal position and wearing your usual riding kit (helmet, bag and
accessories...). You can lean against a wall in order to avoid any brusque movements
on the bike.
• Step off your bike gently to avoid a harsh movement and measure the "SAG" (see
figure). A SAG that is too weak indicates that there Is too much pressure in your fork.
You should therefore take out air from your suspension. Inversely, a too high SAG
indicates that there is not enough, you should therefore, add air. To do this:
• Unscrew the valve cap to access the fork valve that enables you to adjust the air
pressure as in the following figure:
• Using a high pressure pump, adjust the fork's air pressure in order to get the desired
SAG as in the figure above. Be careful to not pass the maximum air pressure that your
fork can handle! This value can be found In the manufacturer's notice.
• Sit on the bike as described previously and check the SAG. Repeat these steps until
you find the right level.
Hint: If your fork is not equipped with a rubber O-ring that you can use to see the SAG position,
you can place a plastic zip tie on the fork stanchion which will carry out the same function.
Other settings can be carried out so you profit as much as possible from your suspension
system. Refer to the dedicated notice or go to your local bike retailer.

4.4.4 Setting the pre-tensioning of the rear shock (SAG)
Before starting, ensure you have a high pressure pump and your usual riding gear.
The process to set the SAG on your shock is very similar to that of your fork. You simply need
to follow these steps:
• Place the rubber O-ring against the shock's body.
• Sit on the bike in a normal position and wearing your usual
riding kit (helmet, bag and accessories...). You can lean against
a wall in order to avoid any brusque movements on the bike.
• Step off your bike gently to avoid a harsh movement.
Your Moustache is equipped either with a sticker indicating the level of
SAG with a red sliding scale. The ideal SAG has been reached when
the O-ring is aligned with the red scale as in Figure 22. If the O-ring
has gone further than this mark your shock needs more air. Inversely, if
the ring has not reached the mark, there is too much air in your shock.
To adjust the level of air in your shock:
• Unscrew the valve cap to access the shock's valve that enables
you to adjust the air pressure (See Figure23).
• Using a high pressure pump, adjust the shock's
air pressure in order to attain the desired level
of SAG. Be careful to not go over the maximum
air pressure level that your shock can cope with!
This level can be found In the Moustache technical notice
available on our website www.moustachebikes.com/en/
manuals/ in the section called «Supports».
• Sit on the bike as described previously and check
the SAG. Repeat these steps until you find the right
level.
