The adjustment shown here represents a basic
setting. The rider should change the basic setting to
suit the surface and his/her preferences.
It is recommendable to make a note of the basic
setting. This way, it can be used as the starting

Fork valve, example
Riding without filling pressure will destroy the
suspension, the frame
,
and the air suspension
components
.
Never ride without filling pressure in the air
suspension elements.
A normal air pump cannot build up the required
pressure with sufficient sensitivity.
u
Use a special
suspension
pump to adjust the
filling
pressure.
Only make the air suspension fork setting with the
bicycle stationary.
The fork valve is located underneath a screw cover
on the head of the left-hand fork tube. Unscrew and
remove the screw cover.
