read the number of the SAG indicator that is visible on
most of the recent shock’s pistons.
To adjust the SAG, please change the air pressure. Be-
fore measuring the SAG again compress the shock several times to
make sure the pressure has distributed into all air chambers inside
the shock.

In addition to the according SAG adjustments, the compression
speed has to be dampened to avoid a “bottom out”. To adjust this
setting turn the screw or lever on your damper saying “compression”
or “high speed compression”. If you experience “bottom out” with
your setting increase the compression damping.
“Bottoming out” your suspension can lead to damage of the frame,
parts and / or the shock.
If you are uncertain in any of the points mentioned above, please
do not hesitate contacting Propain or your local bike dealer.
Fork
Forks with up to 180mm of travel are approved to be used with the
Spindrift. A fork length of more than 584mm must not be used as it
leads to forces on the frame for which it was not approved. The fork
length is measured from the middle of the front axle to the top of the
crown.
In the worst case, the use of a too long fork could result in a crack
or damage of the frame while riding the bike. This could cause a
crash and / or severe injuries. The warranty claim expires under
these circumstances.
Fork maintenance
Permanent excellent fork performance can only be
guaranteed if it is serviced periodically. To ensure that
you should keep a few things in mind:
