Chris

The extended reading is ideally taken with the rear wheel lifted off the floor, not that easy to do with just one helper.
The figure I use is 242mm fully extended and 232mm with unloaded sag. I did try the 245mm extended with 10mm of sag that was recomended to me by a couple of SoT runners (one won the Superclub championship and the other was runner up in the Bemsee championship). but prefered it a bit lower, maybe my front rideheight is also a bit lower than theirs.
