SETTING FORK REBOUND
You now need to measure the ‘sag’ of the fork. Sag is
important as it allows the fork to work properly. With
the help of a friend sit on the bike in a normal riding
position in full riding gear, pedals level. Bounce up
and down on the bike a few times and then gently sit
back down. Do not touch the brakes.
For the PRO model (Öhlins) on the right fork leg is a
blue rubber O-ring (A) . On the EXPERT model the
rubber O-ring is on the left leg and is green (B) . Get
your friend to slide this down until it touches the top
of the fork. Carefully get off the bike without further
compressing the forks (your friend can help here by
holding the handlebars so they don’t drop).
When the bike is unweighted, the fork will be fully
extended and leave a gap between the fork seal and
the O-ring. The distance between these two is your
sag measurement. You are looking for approximately
20% sag – which is 34mm for the PRO model
and 32mm for the EXPERT model. Use a ruler to
measure the gap.
Adjust the air pressure in your forks until you reach
the correct sag measurement (C) . If you don’t have
enough air just pump more in using the shock pump
that came with the tool kit. If you have too much air
just briefly press the small button on the shock pump,
this will release small amounts of air from the system.
Once finished, replace the protective caps.
The rebound setting on your fork is how quickly
your suspension reacts to impacts and returns to
its normal position after compression. Your rebound
settings can vary depending on the terrain you are
riding on, your riding style, etc. A fast rebound setting
is good when you need the fork to react quickly over
continuous rough ground, but not so good, if for
example, you are going off a lot of big drops where
the faster rebound may pitch you forward too quickly.
As with most things, finding a middle ground is best
– not too fast, and not too slow – and then tweaking
and refining as you begin to understand how your
bike and suspension feels and reacts.
On the PRO (Öhlins) model the rebound adjuster
for the fork is a gold dial located underneath a gold
protective cap on the bottom of the left leg (A) .
For the EXPERT (DVO) model the rebound adjuster
for the fork is a silver dial located on the bottom of the
right leg (B) .
The rebound adjustment is dependent on your air
pressure setting. For example, higher air pressure
requires more rebound damping. Use your air
pressure to find your rebound setting. Turn your
rebound knob to the closed position (fully clockwise)
until it stops. Then back it out (counterclockwise) to
the number of clicks shown in the tables overleaf.
