7.2. ADJUSTING REBOUND
The rebound damping adjuster (C) controls the rate at which the shock
returns after it is compressed. Each rear shock has a range of rebound
clicks to fine-tune the rebound return rate.
A slower rebound is ideal for heavier riders, slower speeds, and bigger
hits. A faster rebound is best suited for lighter riders, higher speeds, small
bumps, and more traction.
Adjust the rebound based on the range provided for your bicycle setup and
rider weight in the Suspension Calculator on www.specialized.com, as well
as other factors like rider experience/preference and terrain conditions. You
can fine-tune the settings during the ride if necessary.
It is best not to veer too far from the recommended clicks, since
being too far out of the accepted range can negatively impact the
ride experience.
7.3. ADJUSTING COMPRESSION
The compression damping adjuster (D) controls the amount of support of
the shock platform, that is the shock’s ability to resist pedaling forces.
Please refer to the suspension manual for specifics about the compression
options provided by your suspension. Typically, a suspension is equipped
with some or all of the following settings:
Open: Optimized for descending.
Closed: The firmest setting for maximum pedaling efficiency.
7.4. SUSPENSION MAINTENANCE
Generally speaking, the rear shock and fork should be serviced after
every 50, 100, and 200 hours of accumulated riding time. The type of
service required is determined by the type of riding you do, the terrain
you ride, the weather you ride in, and your skill level. You may also find
that you need to service the rear shock and/or fork earlier than expected
depending on the factors mentioned above. For more information on
servicing your rear shock and fork, visit sram.com or ridefox.com.
Suspension maintenance requires specials tools and skills. If
you don’t feel comfortable completing your own suspension
maintenance, please see an Authorized Specialized Retailer.
