Figure 19: Fork valve, example
Set the filling pressure using the filling pressure
recommendations on the air suspension fork as the
initial value.
Set the O-rings on the stanchion or the piston to the
minimum possible deflection.
Sit on the bicycle and dismount again.
Read the position of the displaced O-ring.
The ideal setting for the weight of the rider has
been achieved when the measured position is
between 20 - 30%.
Riding without filling pressure will destroy the wheel
suspension, the frame and the air suspension
elements.
Never ride without filling pressure in the air
suspension elements.
A normal air pump cannot build up the required
pressure with sufficient sensitivity.
Use a special damper pump to adjust the filling
pressure.
Only make the air suspension fork setting with the
bicycle stationary.
The fork valve is located underneath a screw cover
on the head of the left-hand fork tube. Unscrew and
remove the screw cover.
