PAGE 9 IMPORTANT CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: RIDING A BIKE IS DANGEROUS. 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 TUBE INOPERABLE. * MAKE SURE THE FORK CAPS AND ALL FORK HARDWARE (brake studs, pinch bolts, etc. ) ARE TIGHT BEFORE EACH RIDE. [. . . ] WARNING: The lockout is designed to be used on smooth terrain only. DO NOT lockout the fork on rough terrain, bumps or drop-offs. When turned counter-clockwise from lockout, it 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 stiffer over small bumps but will be more resistant to bottoming. The compression / lockout knob has ¾ of a turn of adjustment. Rebound adjustment is done by turning the knob on the bottom of the right leg. Turn the knob clockwise for slower rebound. To speed up rebound, turn the knob counter-clockwise. Start with a middle setting and fine tune the rebound from there. Proper rebound will allow the tire to track the ground over consecutive bumps. Too slow of rebound will pack-up (feel stiff over consecutive bumps) while rebound set too fast will cause the fork to top out harshly. If after adjusting as outlined in steps 3-5 you feel the fork is too soft or too firm, you may need to replace the spring with a spring with a lighter or stiffer spring rate. (See Figure #4) Contact White Brothers to replace the spring. To replace the spring, remove all pre-load by backing the travel adjuster out then remove the travel adjuster snap ring. Remove the top cap using a 15/16" socket to expose the spring. Pull the spring out and replace with the new spring. (Reference exploded view for part #) The travel adjuster rod may drop down inside the fork when you replace the spring. Turn the fork upside down and grab the adjuster rod. There is a washer on the travel adjuster rod that aids in reassembly. Slide the washer to the top of the rod and slip a open end wrench under the washer. By turning the spring you will compress the spring so that you can access the top of the travel adjuster rod. [. . . ] Contact White Brothers for technical information.
