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. [. . . ] Contact White Brothers for a replacement spring. See the "Disassembly of the Spring Leg" and "Reinstalling the Springs and Left Hand Top Cap" sections to replace the spring. TUNING YOUR DAMPER 1. Rebound damping is adjusted by turning the slotted brass adjuster on the top cap of the right leg. Turn the adjuster clockwise for slower rebound. To speed up rebound, turn the adjuster 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. Rebound that is set too slow will pack-up (feel harsh over consecutive bumps) while rebound set too fast will cause the fork to top out harshly. If the fork is topping out and you have the correct spring for your weight, turn the adjuster one turn at a time until the top-out stops. Compression damping can be changed two ways: (1) by adjusting the compression damping screw on the back of the canister on the bottom of the right fork leg. Threading it in slows compression and threading it out speeds up compression; and (2) by adding or removing air pressure (or nitrogen)from the canister at the bottom of the right leg. Pop of the dust cap and adjust between 50 psi min. Adding air will increase the compression damping (slow it down) and removing air will decrease compression damping (faster compression). Less compression damping will increase the fork dive but will feel smoother over small bumps. More compression damping will feel stiff over small bumps but will be more resistant to bottoming. Never run less than 50 psi in the canister. PAGE 4 Your White Brothers fork requires periodic maintenance to ensure peak performance and long life. Neglecting proper maintenance will reduce the fork's life. Internal build up of water and dirt or a lack of lubrication will cause excessive wear and void the warranty. BEFORE EVERY RIDE: Visually inspect your fork for bent or broken parts, loss of oil, abnormal sounds or other indications of possible fork failure. Compress you fork to verify proper function. Check all other bicycle components to ensure proper working order. AFTER EVERY RIDE: Clean and dry the exterior of your fork. [. . . ] Note: A little more than hand tight is all that is necessary, as the upper clamp will hold the top caps tight. Readjust the rebound needle to your preferred position. PAGE 6 Exploded Views The following is an illustration and parts table which gives you the exploded view of your White Brothers fork. The parts table indicates the part numbers for each individual part in the fork. Reference these numbers when ordering replacement parts. [. . . ]
