Well, I may be the outsider here on this, but I am not a fan of Dave's approach. How can you adjust suspension with a bike in a chock. Sure, it holds the bike up, but the weight balance is all wrong because the front tire is up. I've had Dave adjust my bike and frankly I hated it. Bouncing a bike with no rider on it does what? Does that mean he can bounce the bike unladen for or me at 200lbs in gear and it would also work for a 150lb rider?

Setting sag takes three people. The "actual" rider in gear on the bike, plus one to hold the bike upright and another to measure and adjust. Get a baseline point on the bike for compression and rebound damping, start adjusting one adjustment at a time with a few rides to confirm right or wrong, then adjust one adjustment again if more needed. Learn to read your tires. Measure your travel with a zip tie on a fork.
