Compression Stroke: The motion of the shock in response to an impact. Damping: Internal mechanism to control the speed of compression or rebound. PSI: Pounds per square inch Rebound: The extension or return stroke of the shock. [. . . ] All rely on sag for proper riding performance. SETTING AND ADJUSTING MAESTRO (ANTHEM) SAG (air shock) 1. Pump the main air chamber to a psi (pounds per square inch) equivalent to rider's body weight . Push the rubber O-ring that is around the shock's shaft all the way against the base of shaft (closest to shock body). Position your bicycle next to a wall so that you can sit on the bike with both feet on the pedals while steadying yourself with one arm. Gently sit on the saddle without bouncing. Dismount gently and look at how far the O-ring has moved down the shaft. Measure distance O-ring has moved. 4. Add or remove air until desired shock movement is obtained. Refer to the Sag Recommenda-tion Guide below for proper sag measurements. Maestro Sag Recommendations: Anthem: 1/4" (6mm) O-ring movement SETTING AND ADJUSTING REBOUND DAMPING 1. If you are unfamiliar with rebound damping, perform this procedure: With full body weight, push down on the saddle forcefully to compress the shock. Watch (and feel) how the shock rebounds from compression. Next, turn the rebound damping knob clockwise until it stops and compress the shock under full body weight. Note that the shock rebounds very slowly. Next, turn the damping knob counterclockwise a few turns and re-perform your compression testing until the shock rebounds just slightly more slowly than with no damping. To check the rebound damping rate while riding, ride off a curb while seated. The rear suspension should bounce only once upon rebound (the heavier the rider, the more damping will be required). Adjust accordingly to accomplish this motion. If the suspension bounces more than once, turn the damping knob in the appropriate direction until one bounce is achieved. FRONT SUSPENSION TRAVEL & SAG GUIDE To determine bike's front suspension travel adjustments and recommended settings, please refer to the fork manufacturer's technical manual. A suspension fork is effective at both absorbing bump forces and helping the tire to track the ground for improved traction and braking control. When in active mode, a fork will rely on sag to keep the front tire in better contact with the ground during braking. [. . . ] Remove the rear ends, derailleur. Bolt Bolt Step 1: Loosen the rear triangle bolt and remove the rear triangle. Repeat Step 1 in reverse to reassemble the rear triangle. Recommended torque for the rear triangle bolt is 120-150 kgf-cm. Replacement of Joint/clev Before dismantling the Joint/Clev: Remove the crank, Remove the chain wheel. Joint/Clev bolt Joint/Clev Step 1: Loosen the Joint/Clev bolt and remove the Joint/Clev. Rear triangle bolt Repeat Step 1 in reverse to reassemble the Joint/Clev. Recommended torque for the rear triangle bolt is 120-150 kgf-cm. Recommended torque for the Joint/Clev bolt is 120-150 kgf-cm. Replacement of front frame Step 1: Remove the rear shock, rocker arm. Step 2: Remove the rear triangle (follow rear triangle disassembly steps). Step 3: Remove the saddle, seat post, seat post clamp. [. . . ]
