6.5 Basic setting for suspension and damping
The adjustment shown here represents a basic 
setting. The rider should change the basic setting to 
suit the surface and his/her preferences.
 It is recommendable to make a note of the basic 
setting. This way, it can be used as the starting 
point for subsequent, optimised settings and to 
safeguard against unintentional changes.
6.5.1 Adjusting the hardness of the spring elements 
6.5.1.1 Adjusting the hardness of the steel suspension fork
Figure 19: Suspension fork setting wheel, example
 Use the setting wheel on the left-hand suspension 
fork head to adjust the hardness of the steel 
suspension fork. Adjust the hardness of the steel 
suspension fork by turning the setting wheel in the 
plus or minus direction.
 The ideal setting in relation to the weight of the rider 
has been achieved when the shock absorber 
deflects 3 mm under the stationary load of the rider.
 If applicable, re-attach the plastic cover after 
setting the suspension fork.
 Only make the steel suspension fork setting with the 
bicycle stationary.
 The setting wheel may be located under a plastic 
cover on the head of the left-hand shock absorber. 
Remove the plastic cover by pulling it off upwards.
