Anyone seen the Slacker digitial sag tool from Motool?  For sure it's bigger and more expensive than a tape measure, but it doesn't require a helper to accurately measure suspension sag!

I don't know about the rest of you, but my wife and kids have zero interest in making the measurements.  It's like I'm asking them to get a root canal on my behalf.  No moto buddies nearby, either.  Solo measurement would be a really awesome capability.  I tinker a lot with my suspension settings.

Evidently it's been out a couple of years and I've been living under a rock.  Dave Moss endorsed it in a lengthy youtube video.  I might give it a try, if it clears my low termi pipes.

This tool is not for everyone.  Some never set sag and are content to just ride.  Some are fanatical about suspension and its settings, to experiment and to extract the most out of the bike.  It's a continuum.  If someone has multiple bikes and is inclined to change geometries and parts and settings, then an accurate and repeatable method to set sag without a helper is very valuable.  x2 if track bikes are part of the equation.  But I get the implication - a tape measure or ziptie is free!
