PRELOAD ADJUSTMENT
Before the bike is ridden, spring preload must be adjusted to suit the
weight and preference of the rider. Preload should be adjusted when
the bike is new, and then readjusted for each individual who rides
the bike.
1. Make sure the Damping Dial is in the “Open” position by turning
it to the left (counter-clockwise.)
2. Remove the small bolt from the center of the Damping Dial.
3. With rider off the bike, measure from
floor to center of one end of the handle-
bar with the bicycle standing perfectly
upright. Then position the rider on the
bike in a seated, natural riding position.
With only the rear brake applied, again
measure the distance from the floor to
the center of one end of the handlebar.
4. The difference in these two measure-
ments is the preload sag. Most riders
find the best suspension performance
with about 1/16” sag compression.
To change the amount of sag, insert
a 3mm Allen wrench into the hole in
the top of the fork. Turn the preload
adjustment screw clock-wise for great-
er preload (less sag compression) or
counter-clockwise for less preload
(more sag compression.) See Fig.2.
