Record your Settings

R e c o r d y o u r S e t t i n g s

Use the charts below to record your BoXXer™ fork settings to return your fork to its pre-service settings. Record your service date to

track service intervals.

Service date - helps you keep track of service intervals.

Dual Crown height - measure the distance from the top of the upper to tube to the top of the

lower crown (see figure in Step 1).
Rebound setting - count the number of clicks while turning the rebound adjuster fully

counter-clockwise.
Compression setting - count the number of clicks while turning the compression adjuster fully

counter-clockwise.
