SPOT Mayhem 130 - Fork Setup (Rockshox Pike); Compression Damping Adjuster; Air Spring Pressure; Rebound Damping Adjuster

Air spring pressure
• Use included shock pump to increase/
decrease air pressure
• Sets sag / “ride height”
• Spot recommends starng by seng the fork
air spring pressure to 50% of your riding
weight (with helmet, pack, gear, etc.) in
pounds. For example, if you weigh 180lbs
ready to ride, you would inate your fork to
0.50 X 180 = 90psi.
• Increase pressure (up to +15psi) if you are
booming out frequently. If adding air
pressure does not prevent frequent boom
outs, you may need to upsize your VOLUME
SPACER.
• Decrease pressure (up to –10psi) if you are
never using full travel. If reducing air
pressure does not allow you to access full
travel you may need to downsize your
VOLUME SPACER.
Rebound Damping Adjuster
• Adjusts return speed “rebound” of suspension
• Turn clockwise to slow the rebound, counter-
clockwise to speed up.
• Adjustment sengs are referenced from “full
slow”. To adjust, turn the red rebound knob
clockwise unl it stops, then slowly unwind the
knob while counng each me it clicks.
• Spot recommended rebound sengs– based
on air spring pressure:
• Increase rebound speed if the bike feels rough
and low on fast secons with successive bumps
• Decrease rebound speed if the bike feels
“bucky”, like riding a pogo sck on successive
bumps.

Volume Spacers
• Air volume spacers are installed in the fork
to control how the spring forces increase
as the shock is compressed
• A larger volume spacer will make the fork
more progressive and harder to boom
out on big hits and landings
• A smaller volume spacer will make the fork
more linear and easier to access full travel.
• Changing volume spacers is a simple pro-
cess. Instrucons for swapping spacers can
be found here:
Rockshox Fork Boomless Tokens
Travel Indicator O-Ring
• The fork seal will push the o-ring up the
stanchion tube as it compresses
• Measure from the seal to the o-ring to
determine your max travel usage.
• The Mayhem 130 comes stock with a
140mm travel fork.
Compression Damping Adjuster
• Increases rmness and support on
compression (downward) stroke of the
fork. Firmer sengs will increase support
for bermed turns and landing jumps
• Approximately 20 clicks of adjustment
• Turn black dial clockwise to increase
rmness
• Soer: best for lighter riders, less
aggressive riding
• Firmer: best for heavier riders, more
aggressive riding
