Are you sure? What if there's no static sag on the shock either? Will the nose still be high then? ;-)

As per one of my last posts, I think what's happening here is that people are hanging on to snippets of information they've got about elements of suspension setup without necessarily considering the role they play in the overall setup, or the effects that other parts of the setup have on them.

It was just a question though (about why people think static sag is relevant). It'll be interesting to get the views of all those people you mention, but no doubt there will be differences of opinion from them too.

EDIT: Plus it's important to note when we're discussing this, I refer to 'static sag' as the amount the bike suspension sinks under its own weight with no rider, and 'rider sag' as the amount it sinks with you on it. I get the impression that the terminology is being mixed up.
