i suggest going to a shop. Shouldnt cost more than 30 bucks. They will know exactly what to do. A good should will actually have you sit on your bike, maybe bounce on it a lil and they take their measurements from there. Luckily in san diego, we have a shop owed by an AMA racer. He's pretty trustworthy and they carry a good rep. Riding style matters and if tuned correctly, the difference is night and day.
