It's a nice theory but I don't think it will translate across to the TRX, they're a very different beast.

That said, I'll try it out when I get my license back

I've set my sag at about 25mm, with compression & damping on standard settings for the shock, seems to want to run a little wide in corners so I've added more low speed compression to compensate but it's still a work in progress...

Ideally I think I need to get it resprung & re valved for my weight.

Edit: Probably a good starting point, yes. I guess it's always going to be trial & error though, I know setting it stock R6 settings is not perfect either.

I found fitting the R6 length dogbones Kayla supplied with the adaptor a bonus to fix the problem out of corners aand going up a few clicks on the slow comp. The dogbones I got off kev a while back measured up inbetween the std and R6 so had plenty of options to play with.
But as it mentions keeping the balanced between front and back is the key also.
And choice of tyres and size I found makes a difference also
