tions to find how to adjust the air spring pressure. Using a Shock pump, either add
or remove air until Sag is correctly set.
Please note that for the detailed instructions for servicing and all matters relating
to the Forks fitted to your Whyte bike, please refer to the relevant manufacturers
instructions.
Rebound Damping adjustment:
This adjustment fine
-
tunes the speed at which the wheel returns to its normal ride
height after hitting a bump. Refer to the relevant manufacturers instructions to find
out how to adjust the rebound damping. To demonstrate the effect of this function,
turn the adjuster to its slowest setting. Press down on the handlebars to compress
the Forks, then release the load. The suspension recovers very slowly to its original
position.
Repeat the above with the adjuster turned to the fastest setting and the difference
will be seen immediately the load is released. We recommend the optimum setting
is to adjust the re
-
bound damping to be as slow as possible, but not so slow that
the normal ride height is not recovered. On very rough terrain, if the bike becomes
progressively lower as more bumps are hit then the re
-
bound damping is set too
slow. On the other hand if the bike feels choppy and not plush then the re
-
bound
damping is too fast. A bit of trial and error is needed to get the exact setting.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE:
Always stop riding when making adjustments of
any kind to the bicycle!
3.4: SET UP OF REAR DAMPER
Tools Required:
Good Quality Shock Pump.
Small Ruler
Your Whyte bike is fitted with either an air spring or a coil spring rear Shock. This
means that for an air Shock, the air pressure in the shock absorber determines the
spring rate and on a coil Shock, the rating of the spring determines the spring rate.
The correct
‘
sag
’
can be found using the sliding
‘
O
’
ring fitted to the shaft of the
Shock piston. Slide the
‘
O
’
ring against the Shock body. Then gently sit on the bike
in your normal riding position and with normal riding gear, including back pack if
applicable, and also raise your feet off the floor. Carefully dismount and measure
the distance the
‘
O
’
ring has moved away from the Shock body.
The optimum distance for the Quad
-
Link rear suspension system is shown in the
table to the right. If there is less than that distance fit a Shock pump and release
air pressure. Conversely if there is greater than that distance, fit the Shock pump
and increase air
Repeat the
‘
sag
’
test until the recommended sag distance is achieved.
For Coil Shock, the spring rate adjustment is made by swapping the spring for a
higher or lower rate spring. If more sag is required, swap the spring for a lower
