- In case of any serious accidents, have your bike examined by an authorized Lapierre dealer before riding it
again.
- Avoid using grease on your seat tube as certain ones can be harmful to the resin and deteriorate it.
- during winter rides, it is absolutely necessary to wash your bike after each ride in order to avoid damaging the
frame from the salt.
2 TECNIC FS
for the best performance, here are some adjustment and setting tips :
1. correctly adjust your riding position.
2. choose a tyre pressure that is appropriate for weather and terrain conditions.
Refer to the pressure guidelines indicated on the tires. If you wish to increase comfort, decrease the pressure.
for better performance and more efficiency, increase the pressure. this can also reduce the risks of a flat. we
consider that an average of 2 bars is a good pressure setting for a person weighing around 75kg.
3. Adjust the sag of the rear shock absorber. (Sag is where the travels sits when the rider is on the bike.)
to make sure the suspension will properly work, the sag and rebound speed must be set up according to your
weight and riding.
the average set up of the sag should be between 20 and 30% for the rear shock absorber, that is to say
between 10 and 15mm for a tecnic fS bike. You can use as an indicator the o-ring on the shaft to do so. Sit
on the bike with your equipment (hydration bag, etc.) with your feet on the pedals and in riding position (having
someone hold the bike for you and leaning against the wall with your elbows will help), bounce slightly and make
sure the o-ring is against the air sleeve.
then get off your bike slowly so as not to compress the suspension.
Measure the distance between the o-ring and the shock absorber; this distance is what we call sag and should
be between 10 and 15 mm on tecnic fS bikes.
depending on the kind of ride that you are seeking, you can adjust the air pressure in the rear shock absorber
to vary the sag. If you are looking for reaction and precise steering, you should opt for a sag close to 20%, that
is to say 10mm. On the other hand, if you seek more comfort and stability in descents, 30% (15mm) will be
more suitable.
the rebound speed should be set up according to your type of riding. If the terrain is steep, it has to bounce fast,
if it is flat, it can be slowed down. However be careful and set it up within reasonable limits.
