9.8.1 Suspension fork
9.8.1.1 Basic information
Depending on the model, your bicycle may include a suspension
fork
.
Check to see if your bicycle is fitted with a suspension fork
(see Fig. “Suspension fork”).
Suspension forks absorb shocks from the front wheel and increase
comfort and safety when riding over uneven surfaces.
The suspension fork must be adjusted to suit the intended use
and the rider’s weight.
Remove dirt from sliding surfaces and adjacent seals
immediately with a clean or lightly oiled cloth, as appropriate.
Lubricate the sliding surfaces immediately after cleaning with
some lubricant, e.g. universal oil.
Consult your specialist dealer for information about suitable
maintenance and lubrication products for the suspension fork.
Compress the suspension fork in and out five times.
Afterwards, wipe up any excess lubricant with a clean cloth.
If you hear unusual sounds when compressing and
decompressing the fork or if the suspension fork gives
way without any resistance, get your specialist dealer to
check your suspension fork.

9.8.1.2 Sag
Sag refers to the compression which takes place simply as a
result of the rider’s bodyweight. Depending on the model of the
suspension fork, the sag is set at a value of between 15% and
30% of the total suspension travel.
The sag setting does not affect the spring stiffness. The sag
setting affects the spring pre-load. If the sag is optimally adjusted,
the suspension will compress by just a few millimetres when you
sit on the bicycle.
Expert knowledge is required to adjust the sag setting, especially
when the bicycle features several different suspension elements.
Note: To ensure optimally adjusted sag, your specialist dealer
may install stiffer or softer springs in the suspension.
