In this Flight Attendant setup guide, I walk you through the whole “start-to-ride” process for RockShox Flight Attendant—fork and shock setup first, then the electronic side. I show how I pull the batteries, make the adjusters easier to turn, and how I deal with volume tokens on common forks like the Pike (and on SID shocks where you’re pulling the air can). I also cover the practical stuff people get stuck on: figuring out exactly what RockShox fork/shock you have (TrailHead), setting air pressure, and getting rebound in the ballpark so the bike isn’t pogo-ing or packing down. After the mechanical baseline, I jump into the AXS/Flight Attendant system: pairing to your phone, linking the pedal sensor/power meter, running calibration before you ride, and updating firmware when things act weird. Then I break down ride modes, button programming, and how to adjust the system feel—like low-speed compression behavior and how much “lockout” you actually get using bias. The big takeaway is simple: don’t chart-copy—get your air, rebound, and tokens right first, then let Flight Attendant do its job with a clean calibration and the bias/modes set for how you actually ride.
