PAGE 8 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. [. . . ] To adjust the travel remove the lower assembly from the stanchions. Remove the spring side stanchion plug (left leg) and remove the control rod. Remove the control rod top using a 15mm wrench and a 3mm allen or tiny screw driver slipped through the hole in the control rod. Travel changes by flipping the control rod top upside down and re-installing. With the adjustable top covering part of the rod (shorter assembly), you get 80mm of travel and with the adjustable top not covering part of the rod (longer assembly), you get 100mm travel. To change the pre-load, remove the dust cap and turn the allen fitting on the top of the left fork leg. Turn to the right to add pre-load to the spring. Turn to the left to reduce spring preload. You should always have some pre-load on the spring to keep it from rattling inside the fork leg. Compression adjustment (lockout) is done by turning the knob on the top of the right leg and is a lockout when turned full clockwise. 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. [. . . ] Add compression damping by turning the adjuster on the top of the right leg clock-wise. Change the spring out for a heavier rate as outlined in #6 of the tuning section. The Fork Doesn't Use Full Travel 1. Remove spring pre-load as outlined in #3 of the tuning section. Reduce the compression damping by turning the adjuster on the top of the right leg counterclock-wise. [. . . ]
