Brake caliper installATION
Brake Hose Installation
The 37mm Dorado uses a 203mm [8”] post mount style brake mount. Up to
a 223mm [9”] rotor can be used on this fork with proper adapter. The fork is
designed around a 20x110mm Boost hub. If using a 20x100mm non boost hub
a disc brake rotor adapter is included. Please follow the disc brake and rotor
manufacture installation instructions to for installation of rotor and caliper.
Included with your fork is a small black
brake hose guide with 2 spacers. These
parts can be found connected to the sag
guide tool which is included in the box. The
brake hose guide can be attached to the
lower crown in one of three holes (hose
guide can be mounted inboard or outboard
at various angle as needed to ensure free-
running hose thru the guide). The two
spacers can be used to move the hose guide
away from the crown if needed for a cleaner
front brake hose routing. Also included is
a standard zip tie to secure the hose to
the leg guard. The preferred method is to
route the hose so that it runs inside the
spring leg, secured to the bash guard, then
through the brake hose guide. The hose
should be loose through the lower crown
hose guide so the hose is free to translate
up and down. Make sure the brake line is
not crimped and does not touch the tire as
the fork moves through its range of travel.

FAILURE TO PROPERLY ROUTE AND SECURELY ATTACH THE FRONT BRAKE HOSE
TO THE FORK CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
