If you've ever struggled to dial in your bike or wondered why your adjustments don't seem to make a difference, John takes us through his innovative tool that transforms suspension tuning. John Casebeer, the founder of Slacker, walks us from his days in moto — where he used his engineering skills to create his digital sag measurement system. Inspired by personal injury and frustration with inaccurate methods, he harnessed open-source hardware, ultrasonic tech, and savvy engineering to build a device that measures true wheel travel in real-time, right at the axle. The result? Precise adjustments that unlock your bike’s true potential, whether you're a weekend rider or a serious competitor. ---------------------- Get your Loam Wolf gear here 👉 https://store.theloamwolf.com Join our member platform to get access to exclusive discounts, giveaways and LIVE CHATS and more 👉 https://bit.ly/3UVHjja ➡️ Need Tools or a Repair Stand?
