After you have relaxed the preload unit of the spring you can
turn off the entire unit.
Lubricating the fork / Dismounting
In order to lubricate the fork have your bicy-
cle mechanic dismount it completely. First
remove the pre-load adjustment unit and
springs as described under "Exchanging
springs".
Undo and remove the screw M6 on the lower
part of the leg (18).To prevent the push rod
(14) from turning too press the fork together
entirely and hold the push-rod with a long
Allen key size 5.
With the SPINNER Grind2 fork do the same
thing on the other fork leg, too. Now you can
pull the fork’s upper part out of the lower
part.
Now you can pull the fork’s upper part out of
the lower part. Clean all parts with a cloth.
Grease the bushings, legs, springs and threads
thoroughly and assemble the fork again.
The bushings, seals and sliding surfaces of the
suspension fork suffer from wear and tear
through normal use. It depends on the use of
the fork, the amount of dirt on it and the
maintenance and lubrication how long it lasts.
If the bushings are worn the fork has too
much play. Please have your specialist dealer
replace the bushings in that case. Hydraulic
dampers are affected by wear and tear
through normal use. It depends on the usage
of the bike, the amount of dirt on it and the
maintenance and lubrication how long it lasts.
After 3000 km the damper must receive an
inspection by a trained mechanic, worn out
parts can be replaced then.
