On the left fork leg there is a rubber ring to measure the amount of
travel. After filling the suspension fork, remove the air pump and
press the rubber ring down until it is flush with the seal. Then sit
on your bike. The suspension fork will be compressed by your body
weight. Using the position of the rubber ring you can measure the
compression caused by your body weight. This is a simple way of
measuring the spring deflection used.
Riding with too high a fork air pressure and without fork air pres-
sure will destroy the fork. It is recommended that you allow a ROT-
WILD authorised retailer to demonstrate how to correct the fork air
pressure.
6.6.1.2 Adjusting the pressure rating
The suspension of the fork on the front wheel can be altered during a ride by the
ground conditions. The blue adjustment lever on the right fork leg is used to ad-
just the suspension fork.
