NOT PROPERLY MAINTAINING OR INSPECTING YOUR BIKE AND IT'S COMPONENTS IS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. IT IS ALSO DANGEROUS TO NOT READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS. REMOVING IT WILL RENDER BOTH THE CROWN AND STEERER INOPERABLE. * MAKE SURE THE FORK CAPS AND ALL FORK HARDWARE (brake studs, pinch bolts, etc. ) ARE TIGHT. [. . . ] After the initial brake-in period , fine tuning the air pressure and damping adjustments may be beneficial to achieve the best possible performance for your weight and riding style. TOOLS NEEDED: High pressure air pump (WB 97-725) Air Tight adaptor (WB 97-726) 15/16" socket with ratchet. 4mm Allen Wrench 5mm Allen wrench 6mm Allen wrench Figure #4 Your new White Brothers fork is designed with a coil spring combined with a air spring and oil cartridge damping. The following guidelines for adjusting and maintaining your fork will enable you to enjoy maximum performance and longevity from your fork. First test ride the fork over easy terrain. If after riding the fork over varied terrain you decide that more tuning is necessary, continue to the next step. The compression or spring of the fork can be changed three ways; by changing the air pressure, adjusting the settings of the damper cartridge and changing the spring for a different rate. To change the air pressure, remove the snap in dust cap (use a finger nail or small screw driver) so that the schrader valve stem is exposed. (see Figure #4) 4. A high pressure shock pump is the best way to inflate cartridges. WB recommends you purchase the High Pressure Air Pump # 97-725. Test ride after each adjustment until the air cartridge is at an adequate pressure. Compression adjustment is done with the knob on the top of the right leg and is a lockout when turned full clockwise. Turning the knob counter-clockwise from lockout will provide less and less compression damping. Less compression damping will increase the fork dive but will feel smoother over small bumps. More compression damping will feel harsh over small bumps but will be more resistant to bottoming. Full lockout to full open compression damping happens in ¾ of a turn. If after adjusting as outlined in steps 3-5 you feel the fork is too soft or too firm, you may need to change the spring out for a proper spring rate. (See Exploded view) Contact White Brothers for a replacement spring. Important: Deflate the air from the left leg before disassembly. Pop off the dust cap and release the air from the leg. Remove the top cap using a 15/16" socket to expose the spring assembly. Pull the spring assembly out and replace the main spring with the correct spring rate. Rebound adjustment is done with the knob on the bottom of the right leg. [. . . ] Clean and lubricate the fork as outlined in the maintenance section. Contact White Brothers for further technical information. The Fork Bottoms too Easy 1. Add air pressure as outlined in #3 and #4 of the tuning section. Add compression damping by turning the adjuster on the top of the right leg clock-wise. [. . . ]
