Description
Lost my original sag indicator so decided to make a new one from recalling what it looked like. Mounts onto Fox DPS/DPX2 with zip tie and allows you to measure the shock sag. I've place 1mm marks from 5mm to 18mm with heavier marks at 5mm, 10mm and 15mm. Typically you set rear sag around 30% of shock travel so for my shock on this bike that's 45mm x 0.3 = 13.5mm. Printed first in PETG (black) then decided to try and use ASA (white is all I had). PETG survived first 20 mile ride and I like the black as it blends right into my shock, however the marks are very hard to see on the black and probably need to use a white paint pen to put a mark at the desired sag. The marks on the white one are much easier to see but it would probably look funny on the black shock and slow me down, lol!
V20 UPDATED 2/26/2025: Beefed up thickness a little, chamfered groove where zip-tip fits so prints a little nicer without support, added marks to side of indicator and made the taper where it wraps around the air can more closely match the shock. Also lengthened to measure sag up to 20mm.
