SAG
The SAG should be 5mm on the shock piston.
To check the adjustment, please follow as shown below:
1. Sit on the bike, put your feet on the pedal
2. Put your feet back on the ground and stand over the bike without bouncing the bike
during this action
3. Check if the o-ring on the shock piston has a distance of 5mm to the main dust
wiper/seal between shock housing and piston.
- if the distance between the o-ring and the main dust wiper/seal is less than 5mm,
the air pressure of the air chamber is too high and should be carefully reduced by
using the bleed knob of the shock pump until the distance is 5mm.
- if the distance between the main dust wiper/seal is bigger than 5mm, the air
pressure of the air chamber is too low and should be increased by using the shock
pump until the distance is 5mm.
5mm
IMPORTANT
Please note that the maximum pressure of the Nude TC shock is 15.4bar/223psi which
means a maximum weight of the rider of 110kg/243lbs incl. riding gear and load.
“Rebound” describes the speed the shock comes back to its original length after
absorbing an obstacle.
By using the red rebound screw (S6) you can adjust the rebound step by step.
Please refer to the following instruction:
Ride your bike off a pavement (remain in the saddle) and check how many times it
bounces.
- if it bounces 1-2 times, the set up is good.
- If it bounces more than 3 times the rebound is too fast.
Turn the screw 1-2 “clicks” clockwise
- If it does not bounce the rebound is too slow.
Turn the screw 1-2 “clicks” counter clockwise.
