used to set the desired rebound. The suspension
element springs back out most rapidly when the
adjuster knob is turned out anti-clockwise to the
end of its travel. It springs back out most slowly
when the knob is turned in clockwise to the end
of its travel.
Setting rebound
The starting point for setting rebound can be de -
termined at a kerb.
Before proceeding to set suspension re -
bound, you must first have set the sag in
the suspension.
Carry out this test in a safe area away
from traffic!
Turn out the rebound adjuster anti-clockwise to
the end of its travel.
Ride down over a kerb, remaining sitting on the
seat. Count the number of times the suspension
element springs back. The suspension element
should be adjusted so that it only springs back
once.
If the suspension element springs back more
than once, turn the rebound adjuster one click
clockwise. Ride down over the kerb again
and count again how often the suspension
element springs back. Repeat this step until the
suspension element only springs back once.
Take a note of how many clicks (or turns) you
bring the adjuster out anti-clockwise from the end
of its travel. This is your rebound setting.
For a suspension fork with correctly set rebound,
the front wheel must not lift off the ground when
the fork is compressed with the cycle at rest and
then suddenly released. If in the course of this
test the front wheel should lift off the ground, the
rebound must be tightened one further click and
the test repeated.
Suspension and chassis components
are vital parts of your FLYER. Service
and check your FLYER suspension at
regular intervals. Have your FLYER in -
spected by your FLYER specialist retail -
er at regular intervals. The chassis will
be more effective and last longer if it is
cleaned on a regular basis. Warm water
with a light cleaning agent is suitable for
cleaning this part of the bicycle.
Full suspension bicycles are not suitable
for use with trailers and child bike trail -
ers! The bearings and mounts are not
designed to withstand this sort of force.
This could result in strong wear and
breaks with serious consequences.
