Travel adjust
In most case the suspension travel of the suspension fork is reduced by turning
a knob. There are some forks where the reduction is only realized after a deep
spring compression. In the case of full suspension rear frames this is typically
done by screwing off segments on which the rear shock is mounted or by loos-
ing or readjusting screws.
Compression damping (d)
In most cases a blue adjusting knob.
The damping which controls the rate at which the fork compresses. Prevents
the suspension fork from bottoming out when compensating very fast impacts.
Especially high-quality suspension elements distinguish between “high speed
(for hard impacts = rapid spring compression) and “low speed” (for slow com-
pression, e.g. bouncing when riding out of the saddle) compression damping.
Rebound damping (e)
In most cases a red adjusting knob.
The damping which controls the rate at which the forks extend after being com-
pressed. Prevents bike bobbing.
Lockout (f)
In most cases a lever on the suspension element or the handlebars.
A device to block the fork or the rear shock so that the suspension element
does not cause bob when riding on tarred roads or smooth surfaces. Not to be
used off road.
Platform damping
Increases the (low speed) compression damping rate and suppresses bobbing.
As opposed to the lockout function, the suspension is not blocked completely.
SUSPENSION ON BERGAMONT BIKES
GLOSSARY
Suspension fork
Bicycle fork (a) absorbing and damping shocks through moving components.
The most common among these forks are the telescopic suspension forks.
What is designated as stanchion tubes are the thinner tubes press fitted or
screwed to the fork crown of a telescopic fork. What is designated as lower leg
are the lower tubes in which the stanchion tubes slide in.
Rear shock
The rear shock (b) is the element which combines the spring as well as the
damping in the rear frame of a full-suspension bike. Often the rear shock is also
referred to as shock absorber.
Spring rate or hardness
The force that is required to compress the spring by a certain suspension travel
– measured in Newton per millimetre (N/mm) or pound per inch (lbs/in). A
higher spring rate requires more force for the travel. With air springs a higher
rate means a higher pressure.
Spring preload
In the case of the widespread air suspension systems, the air pressure in the fork
(c) is crucial for the spring rate and the spring preload. Observe your manufac-
turers recommendations.
Within a certain range a preload can be applied to the coil springs. Then the
suspension only reacts when a greater load is applied. The spring rate remains,
however, unaltered. Heavier riders cannot compensate a too soft spring rate
with a higher initial tension.
Negative suspension travel (“sag”)
The suspension travel that is taken up by the rear frame or the fork when the
rider takes up his or her usual riding position at a standstill. This is usually speci-
fied as a percentage of the overall suspension travel.
