Repeat the compression and the release by contin-
uously turning the rebound damping. You will get a
feeling for the working of the rebound damping.
The typical setting of the rebound damping is an
extension of the suspension components at reduced
speed, however not at a sluggish pace. A rebound
movement at reduced speed ending up in a sluggish
movement is a definitely too high damping.
Ride over an obstacle (e.g. down a curb) subse-
quently and turn the rebound damping in small steps
towards the “+” setting. You have found the proper
rebound setting when the suspension fork does not
cycle more than once. Always check a changed
adjustment during a test ride in the terrain
(a+b)
.
If you do not feel comfortable adjusting the damping
or if you face any problems with the adjustment,
contact your CENTURION dealer or follow the cor-
responding operating instructions of the suspension
fork manufacturer, which you can find enclosed on
this CENTURION CD-ROM.

A too strong damping (rebound damp-
ing) of the fork can result in the fact that
the fork no longer extends when riding
over a quick series of obstacles. Risk of an ac-
cident!

Do not turn any screws by using tools in
the vague hope of adjusting them some-
how. You could be loosening the fasten-
ing mechanism, thus provoking an accident. Nor-
mally, the adjustment devices are operated with
the fingers and are marked by all manufacturers
with a scale or with “+” (for stronger damping/
harder suspension) and “-“ signs.

When mounting a new front tire, make
sure there is enough clearance between
tire and fork crown as the fork com-
presses entirely. If necessary, deflate the sus-
pension fork completely and press the handle-
bars forcefully downward to check this
(c)
. This
can block the front wheel. Risk of an accident!

Do not ride your bike, when the suspen-
sion fork bottoms out. This could dam-
age the suspension fork itself as well as
the frame. The spring rate should always be ad-
justed to the weight of the rider and the baggage
as well as to the riding conditions.

follow the respective instructions in the
operating instructions of the suspension
