22.1 Suspension fork
Warning
Serious falls due to lack of control.
Only make adjustments while riding if you have a
remote switch on the handlebars.
Compression and rebound rates cannot be adjusted on all
suspension forks.
22.1.1 Adjusting the compression rate
The compression rate refers to the speed at which a spring
is compressed. To adjust the compression rate, move the
control dial to increase (e.g., - ) or decrease compression
speed (e.g., +).
22.1.2 Adjusting the rebound rate
Rebound describes the speed at which a spring expands.
To adjust the rebound, turn the adjustment wheel on
the underside of the fork to the open position (= higher
rebound speed) or closed position (= lower rebound
speed).
22.1.3 Locking the suspension
Warning
Serious falls due to a broken fork.
Do not lock the suspension when riding o-road.
This can damage the suspension forks.
It is possible to lock the suspension on some suspension
forks. There are some riding situations where that can be
useful. For example, if you are riding up a hill or if you are
standing up from the saddle when accelerating. To switch
the suspension to a xed position, simply move the control
dial or remote switch on the handlebars on the fork in the
appropriate direction (e.g. marked ‘Lock’, ). To activate
the suspension again, move the control/remote switch to
OPEN.
22.1.4 Adjusting the air pressure
On some suspension forks it is possible to alter the air
pressure. You will need assistance from your cycle dealer
to do this, or if you feel condent of doing it yourself,
a suspension fork pump with a pressure gauge and the
suspension fork manufacturer's installation manual. The
valve with cap (e.g. marked ‘AIR’) is usually located on the
left-hand side of the fork.
22.2 Care and maintenance
Clean the outside of the fork and suspension elements
regularly with a slightly damp cloth.
23. Brakes
Warnings
Seriousfallsandaccidentscausedbyinsucient
bicycle control.
Only ride the bicycle if you can safely reach the
brake levers. Your dealer can change the position,
angle and lever width of the brake levers. On many
models, the position of the pressure point can also
be adjusted.
Before taking your rst ride, check which brake grip
actuates which brake. If you are used to a dierent
arrangement, have your dealer rearrange the brake
levers before you set o.
As every bicycle can react dierently depending on
its model, you should familiarise yourself with the
right braking technique. Practise braking in a safe
place before venturing into road trac. Practise until
you feel safe. Dismount if you ever feel unsafe.
Warnings
Seriousfallsandaccidentscausedbyinsucient
bicycle control.
If you notice that the braking force is too high or too
low, stop using the bicycle and contact a specialist
workshop.
In wet conditions, braking distances with rim brakes
increase by up to 40%. Braking values are almost
identical for disc and hub brakes. Be careful, because
tyres have less grip on the road in wet conditions.
Adapt your riding style to outdoor conditions.
Luggage alters the handling characteristics of the
bike. The braking distance becomes longer, thus,
you should start braking earlier, and the steering
response becomes more sluggish. Adapt your riding
style accordingly 30. Luggage rack Page EN-59.
Serious falls and accidents caused by an incorrect
assessmentofbrakingbehaviour.
Do not apply the front brake too hard, as the front
wheel can lock up and cause a fall.
Serious falls and accidents caused by faulty brakes.
Be careful not to get oil or grease on the brake pads
and brake surfaces. This can aect the functionality
of the brakes. Have components which have come
into contact with oil or grease replaced.
Hydraulic brakes: Do not use the hydraulic brakes in
the event of uid leaks. Go to a specialist workshop
to have the problem sorted out.
Have all work on brake systems done in a specialist
workshop.
