Will do. We're looking at the 300 one because it's stiffer than my stock shock.

It's not difficult, but does require 2 people.

Here's a link to some basic info about setting sag - http://sonicsprings.com/catalog/sett...ch_article.php

Having it set correctly makes a big difference in the way the bike will handle.

Yep, thanks for the link. Husband and our roommate have been doing a lot with suspensions lately on their bikes. Will definitely be setting things up.
