5.1 Preload
To make the most of the fork’s travel, the sag
given by the rider’s weight must remain between
10% and 20% of the total travel length for the
cross country forks and between 20% and 30%
for the free ride forks.
To reach these values, you will need to use the
preload adjusters of the springs (see paragraph
5.1.1 and paragraph 5.1.2 for forks having
mechanical preload ) or to modify the fork’s
pressure (see paragraph 5.1.3 for forks having
air preload).
5.1.1 Spring preload with external
adjustment
NOTE
The fork is set to the minimum preload by the
manufacturer, i.e. the knob is completely turned
counterclockwise. However, the spring is slightly
preloaded to help counteractining static load.
By turning the knob (
A
) on the top of the fork’s
leg, you can modify the spring preload to adjust
the initial setting according to the rider’s weight
and needs.
• By turning the knob clockwise, the preload
spring can be increased up to the maximum
value.
• By turning the knob counterclockwise, you
will reduce the preload spring down to the
minimum value.
ATTENTION
Do not force the adjustment knob past its
limits (A).
