Operation
Figure 44: FOX rear frame damper
6 Measure the distance between the air chamber
seal (1) and the end of rear frame damper (3).
This gap is the
total deflection for the rear
frame damper (5).
7 Sit on the pedelec in your usual riding position
and support yourself against an object, such as
a wall or tree.
8 Push the O-ring (4) downwards against the air
chamber seal (1).
9 Get off the pedelec without the suspension fork
deflecting.

Measure the distance between the air chamber
seal (1) and the O-ring (4). This measurement
is the
negative deflection (2). The
recommended value is between 25% (hard)
and 30% (soft) of the
total deflection for the
rear frame damper (5).
10 Increase or reduce the air pressure until you
have reached the desired negative deflection.
6.5.9.2 Adjusting the rebound
The rebound adjuster defines the speed at which
the rear frame damper rebounds after being
subjected to load or impact. The rebound setting
depends on the air pressure setting. A higher
negative deflection requires a lower rebound
setting.
1 Attach a high-pressure damper pump to the air
valve.
2 Read the air pressure.
3 Remove the high-pressure damper pump.

frame damper
4 Turn the rebound adjuster clockwise to the
closed position until it stops.
5 Adjust the rebound setting based on the air
pressure reading. Turn the rebound adjuster
back anti-clockwise by the number of clicks
specified in the table below.
