ADJUSTERS
Compression damping controls the energy absorption
when the shock absorber is being compressed, thus
controls how easily the shock absorber compresses
when you hit a bump. Rebound damping controls the
energy absorption when the shock absorber is being
extended and controls how fast the shock absorber
returns to its normal position after being compressed.
To set the adjusters
Low speed compression and rebound have a
normal right hand thread. High speed adjuster
differs between the shocks. Check the mark-
ings on your shock. On the Stumpjumper
and Rhyme the high speed adjuster closes
towards the drive side.

Turn gently not to damage delicate sealing surfaces.

The rebound adjuster is designed to compensate for
temperature changes, the number of clicks may differ
between a cold and a warm shock absorber. The
recommended setting applies for room temperature.
