3.11.4 Airsystem
*
On some suspension forks it is possible to
alter the air pressure. You will need assis-
tance from your cycle dealer to do this, or if
you feel condent of doing it yourself, a sus-
pension fork pump with a pressure gauge
and the suspension fork manufacturer's in-
stallation manual. The valve with cap (e.g.
marked ‘AIR’) is usually located on the left-
hand side of the fork.
