Air spring pressure
•
Use included shock pump to increase/
decrease air pressure
•
Sets sag / “ ride height ”
•
Spot recommends starting by setting the fork
air spring pressure to 50% of your riding
weight (with helmet, pack, gear, etc.) in
pounds. For example, if you weigh 180lbs
ready to ride, you would inflate your fork to
0.50 X 180 = 90psi.
•
Increase pressure (up to +15psi) if you are
bottoming out frequently. If adding air
pressure does not prevent frequent bottom
outs, you may need to upsize your
VOLUME
SPACER .
•
Decrease pressure (up to – 10 psi) if you are
never using full travel. If reducing air
pressure does not allow you to access full
travel you may need to downsize your
VOLUME SPACER .
Rebound Damping Adjuster
•
Adjusts return speed “ rebound ” of suspension
•
Turn clockwise to slow the rebound, counter-
clockwise to speed up.
•
Adjustment settings are referenced from “ full
slow ”. To adjust, turn the red rebound knob
clockwise until it stops, then slowly unwind the
knob while counting each time it clicks.
•
Spot recommended rebound settings– based
on air spring pressure:
•
Increase rebound speed if the bike feels rough
and low on fast sections with successive bumps
•
Decrease rebound speed if the bike feels
“ bucky ”, like riding a pogo stick on successive
bumps.

Volume Spacers
•
Air volume spacers are installed in the fork
to control how the spring forces increase
as the shock is compressed
•
A larger volume spacer will make the fork
more progressive and harder to bottom
out on big hits and landings
•
A smaller volume spacer will make the fork
more linear and easier to access full travel.
•
Changing volume spacers is a simple pro-
cess. Instructions for swapping spacers can
be found here:
Rockshox Fork Bottomless Tokens
Travel Indicator O - Ring
•
The fork seal will push the o - ring up the
stanchion tube as it compresses
•
Measure from the seal to the o - ring to
determine your max travel usage.
•
The Mayhem 130 comes stock with a
140mm travel fork.
Compression Damping Adjuster
•
Increases firmness and support on
compression (downward) stroke of the
fork. Firmer settings will increase support
for bermed turns and landing jumps
•
Approximately 20 clicks of adjustment
•
Turn black dial clockwise to increase
firmness
•
Softer: best for lighter riders, less
aggressive riding
•
Firmer: best for heavier riders, more
aggressive riding
