Rebound controls the speed at which the fork extends after compression.
Rebound damping control is relative to the amount of air pressure used.
Start with your rebound closed (clockwise) then adjust out to make it
faster. This is the best and most consistent way to do it.

Rebound can drastically change the way your suspension functions as well as your overall control of the bike. It is
extremely important to have a balanced rebound setting that is not too fast or too slow. This will depend on the air
pressure you run. Higher pressures need more rebound, lower pressures need less rebound. If you notice the front
end is dead feeling, rough on high speed chatter, and not tracking in corners, your rebound setting is most likely too
slow. If rebound is too fast, your wheel will fall into more holes, instead of skipping over the top of them. Handling will
feel twitchy and hard to control, it will be easier to be thrown out of control on jumps and landings.
HOW DOES REBOUND EFFECT THE HANDLING OF MY BIKE?
Rebound controls the return speed after the fork is compressed. Rebound damping control is relative to the amount
of air pressure used. Higher air pressure requires more (slower) rebound damping and a lower air pressure will require
less (faster) rebound damping so please adjust accordingly.
WHAT IS REBOUND?
If rebound is too fast, your wheel will fall into more holes, instead of skipping over the top of them. Handling will feel
twitchy and hard to control, it will be easier to be thrown out of control on jumps and landings. If rebound is set too
slow it will pack on successive hits because the fork cannot extend fast enough keeping you in the mid stroke. This
will result in the wheel going deeper into the travel on every hit and riding towards the end stroke.
