CHANGING TRAVEL
Travel on VANILLA 130 Forx can be decreased to 100 mm and VANILLA 100 Forx can be increased to 130 mm by rearranging the travel spacers (VANILLA 100
Forx will ship with the necessary spacer separately). After changing travel, check the fork for proper operation before riding. If there is free movement
in the fork or if it makes strange noises, disassemble the fork and check for complete number and correct orientation of spacers.
