Adjusting the suspension fork

Observe the separate component
instructions for the suspension fork.
In it, you will find all detailed information
of the component manufacturer.
7.5.1

What is the total weight range?

Suspension forks with elastomers and/or steel
springs are each suitable for a certain total weight
range (= cyclist weight + luggage). This weight
range usually covers a span of 20 kg.
The weight range for which the sus-
pension elements in your suspension
fork are suitable can be found in the
separate component instructions of
the suspension fork manufacturer and/
or consult your specialist bicycle dealer.
Contact your specialist bicycle dealer if your
Î
total weight is outside the specified range.
Your specialist bicycle dealer can replace the
suspension fork elements if necessary and
thus adapt them to your needs.

7.5.2 Adjusting the preload

You can adjust the preload of the suspension fork.
To do this, compress the springs on the fork using
the adjusting screw.
By changing the preload, the breakaway torque
of the fork changes, i.e. with a higher preload
the fork only springs at higher operating forces.
If the fork is preloaded too much, the spring travel
will be reduced accordingly.
To adjust the preload and for basic handling
Î
of the suspension fork, follow the instructions
in the enclosed component instructions of
the suspension fork manufacturer.
7.5.3 Locking/unlocking the suspension
fork (lock function)
Using the lock function, you can quickly lock the
suspension fork and quickly open it again.
The open suspension fork (= normal condition
of the suspension fork) is movable and deflects
when cycling. The locked suspension fork is rigid
and does not compress when cycling.
To lock the suspension fork, turn the knob to
Î
the LOCK position.
