2 INSTALLATION
WARNING: Installation of THIRTYFIVE suspension forks requires specific knowl-
edge, equipment and expertise. General mechanical skills are not sufficient to
correctly install the THIRTYFIVE suspension forks.
Formula strongly recommends that a qualified service center authorized by FORMULA
install the fork on your bicycle. Improperly installed forks can cause damage to the
THIRTYFIVE suspension and serious injury or death.
- Formula does not authorize the end user to install the fork on the bike.
WARNING: Failure to follow these guide-
lines may result in serious injury or death.
2.1 Installing the hose clamp
- Secure the disc brake hose to the fork with clamp (
8
).
- Loosen the screw (
9
) and move the clamp over the hose
(
8
).
- Insert the hose inside the hose clamp (
8
).
- Tighten to 2/3 Nm.
3 USE
GENERAL SAFETY NOTE: Do not keep the
fork fully at the end of the race for a period
exceeding 10 days.
If that happens you can verify that the hy
draulic system is not working properly.
3.1 Suspension Adjustments
- Use the rebound adjuster (
10
) to adjust how quickly the
fork returns to its extended position after being com-
pressed.
- Correctly setting the rebound speed allows the bicycle
to properly track the terrain.
- Rebound that is set too fast will cause the fork to feel springy and uncontrolled and exhibit
excessive return speed
- Rebound that is set too slow will not allow the fork to extend quickly enough to prepare for the
next bump.
- Turning the adjuster (
10
) clockwise (toward the + sign) adds hydraulic damping and slows the
rebound speed.
- Turning the adjuster (
10
) counter-clockwise (toward the - sign) removes hydraulic damping and
speeds up the fork rebound speed.
