2.3. HYDRAULIC ADJUSTMENTS
IDYLLE Rare
IDYLLE Rare comes with 3 hydraulics adjustments: low speed compression, high speed compression, and rebound
Tuning tips :
When it comes down to hydraulic setting there is no such thing as a magical formula, many factors have to be taken
into account (bike balance, spring rate, geometry of the bike…).Having said that you can draw conclusions from
what follows :
- Excessive diving of the bike upon braking : harden the LS compression.
- Often bottom out: harden the HS compression.
- Feeling harsh on roots or square edges : soften HS compression
- Uncomfortable, arms pain : soften rebound.
- The forks don’t spring back and stay low after succession of bumps : soften rebound.
- Front too high (in dynamic situation) : harden the rebound.
Whenever you are far from the standard settings (factory settings) It’s always better to consider what influences the
performance of the forks. Proceed step by step, one setting at a time by hardening or softening few click each time.
If you ever get lost while you are setting up the forks, always go back to its original settings.
Starting point adjustments - IDYLLE Rare
Recretional use
Racing use
The
low speed compression
adjustment seats at the bottom of
the right hand leg using a flat head screwdriver(1-A).
The
high speed compression
adjustment seats at the bottom of
the right hand leg using a 14mm 6 points socket wrench (1-B).
The rebound adjustment is on the top of the right hand tube using
a flat screwdriver(2).
Always start from fully tighten position, then tighten down counting
the clicks to adjust your settings.
Tighten (anticlockwise) = close / harden
Undo (clockwise) = open / soften
Low speed compression : 15 clicks from the fully tighten position.
High speed compression: 18 clicks from the fully tighten position.
Rebound : 18 clicks from the fully tighten position.
Low speed compression : 10 clicks from the fully tighten position.
High speed compression: 20 clicks from the fully tighten position.
Rebound : 16 clicks from the fully tighten position.
