6.4 Basic suspension setting
The adjustment shown here represents a basic
setting. The rider should therefore 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.
6.4.1 Adjusting the hardness of the spring elements
6.4.1.1 Adjusting the hardness of the steel suspension fork
Illustration 21: 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 and minus directions.
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.
