Ive been using the blocks for years, but the easiest way I do it now.

1. Set your ride height first, chassis is race ready.
2. Take off your wheels and lay it flat on your setup board.
3. Take a small ruler and measure from the setup board to the center of the hinge pin.

Put your wheels back on and check how many mm does the chassis lift. Depending on the surface you race on up travel is usually 1-3mm.

So when you are looking at the setup sheets for example if the front says 9mm, they are measuring from the setup board to the center of the hinge pin.

Remember if you change your ride height to another setting afterwards your droop settings need to change also.
