You can experiment with different Start points.

4. View the Leverage Ratio Curve The Leverage Ratio curve is created from the Shock and Wheel data. The red dots are the “raw” Leverage Ratio points. The blue line is the calculated Leverage Ratio Curve.
- "Rising Rate" - The LR curve slopes down to the right even though the “Rise in Rate” is positive. Because Leverage Ratio is defined as the Wheel Travel divided by the Shock Travel this “negative slope” gets stiffer as it gets deeper into the travel. Therefore we have defined it as a “Rising Rate”.
5. Save the Leverage Ratio Curve Click “Save LR File”. |
