o Note: As bicycle designs differ significantly, your bicycle may require
different pressures or set up techniques. For example: lower leverage
ratio bicycles require less air pressure to achieve proper sag. Use this
set up technique as a starting point only.
o Important: Do Not use air pressure above 275 psi.
• Move the travel indicator O-ring next to the air can.
• Gently get onto your tricycle and sit in your normal riding position, then carefully
step out of your Catrike.
o Important: If you jump on your tricycle or move too much while
getting on or off, you will not get an accurate sag measurement.
Check the location of the travel indicator O-ring against the sag value gradients marked
on the shock body and verify your sag falls between the 15% and 25% range.
If the sag is less than your bicycle manufacturer’s recommendation, a lower air pressure
should be used. If the sag is greater than your bicycle manufacturer’s recommendation,
a greater air pressure should be used.
Important: Make sure that the air valve cap remains on the shock at all times or
the shock can prematurely lose air.
Rebound Damping Adjustment
Rebound damping controls the speed at which the shock returns to its full travel
position after compression. The Monarch shock features a red rebound damping
adjustment knob to dial in your rebound setting. Rebound is quickest when the
adjustment knob is in the full counter-clockwise position (turned toward the rabbit) and
slowest when the adjustment knob is in the full clockwise position (turned toward the
turtle).
