Optibike Elite R15C Скачать руководство пользователя страница 38

The R8C and R15C come with a coil spring shock. Different spring 
rates are used for different rider weights and riding terrain. Your bike 
has been fitted with the best spring rate for your weight and riding.  
If the spring feels too soft or too stiff, it can be changed to another 
stiffness.  
 
The shock can be made stiffer or softer by adjusting the preload on 
the spring.  
 
 The shock should compress about .75 - 1 inch with rider sitting on 
bike with all riding gear. This is called “SAG”.  
If the correct SAG cannot be achieved, then the spring may need to 
be changed to a stiffer or softer one.
