SERVICE INTERVALS
WARNING
The warranty may be voided if the service intervals and prescribed torques are not adhered to.
•
Large-scale service – At an authorized service centre, at least 1× per year or after 200 hours of riding.
•
Check the tightening of mobile parts before and after each ride. The prescribed torques of individual joints
(see the diagram below) must be strictly observed.
•
Bearings and pivots should be lubricated at least 1× per half a year.
•
Consult your dealer about the exact service plan and maintenance schedule of your bicycle. The dealer shall
propose the schedule depending on the model of your bicycle and the way you use it. The service intervals
stated above are the recommended maximum intervals for regular bicycle maintenance, i.e. they cannot be
extended under any circumstance. If you ride your bicycle more intensively, or if your dealer advises you to, we
recommend that you shorten the intervals and extend the scope of tasks carried out. For example, if you ride
your bicycle in adverse climatic conditions, over hard terrain or if you have equipped your bicycle with specific
components with a different service interval and scope of regular maintenance stated by their manufacturer
(exact instructions regarding the service of particular components will be provided by your dealer).
SETTING THE FORK
AND SHOCK ABSORBER
SETTING THE REBOUND FOR THE FORK AND SHOCK ABSORBER
•
Rebound is a term used to describe the speed of the fork returning to its original position after absorbing a
shock. The control for adjusting the rebound is usually located on the bottom side of the fork leg.
•
When sitting on the saddle, ride off of an edge of approx. 10 -15 cm in height.
•
If the fork rocks 1 or 2 times, the rebound is set correctly.
•
If the fork rocks more than 3 times, the rebound is too fast.
•
If the fork does not rock at all, the rebound is too slow.
Depending on your riding style and the way you use your bike,
the sag should range between 15-25% of the travel.
