The Furlex 100 S for Ø 6 mm forestay may be
supplied with or without an external rigging screw.
For Ø 4 and Ø 5 mm forestay, there are no Furlex-
rigging screw available.
The rigging screw has a stop at the maximum position to which it can be unscrewed.
Do not overload this stop by trying to unscrew the rigging screw further.
The values given in the table below for adjustment must not be exceeded!
3. If the travel of the rigging screw is not sufficient, see below under ”Furlex without rigging screw”.
1. Place one wrench over the flat faces of the
wire terminal and an other over the flat faces
of the bronze nut.
2. Adjust the position of the rigging screw by
turning the
bronze nut
until the desired
forestay length is obtained. The bronze nut does not
require locking after adjustment.

backstay, which has a more favourable angle.
The forestay length is adjusted as follows:
