43ROTWILD USER MANUAL | 2014
to apply is that, when seated on it, the bicycle
should deflect ca. 10-15% (Racing), ca. 20%
(Cross Country) or ca. 25% (Freeride/Extreme)
of the total spring deflection.
Tip: Unscrew the valve cap and screw the
supplied air pump on to the valve. Slide the red
rubber ring on the shock absorber all the way to
the top. Now get onto your bicycle, with that the
shock absorber will deflect and the rubber ring
is pushed to the top along with it. On the basis
of the chart you can easily and comfortably
recalculate the spring deflection used. If the
shock absorber deflects too far, the air pressure
should be increased up to the specified value.
Shock absorption
The level of shock absorption can be adjusted
externally by the red hand wheel. With that valve
openings inside the oil bed are altered and the
flow rate controlled. Turn the hand wheel in very
small steps or clicks and check if the respondi-
ng qualities change.
Do a test run with the bicycle on a terrain with
varied conditions. If the chain stay jolts several
times the spring hardness must be increased.
Find more details for a setup in the ROTWILD
service section on http://service.rotwild.de
Maintenance and cleaning
Maintenance of the chain stay is limited to the
through cleaning of the bearing area and of the
suspension strut. Do not use a steam cleaner
or caustic detergent! Do regular checks to de-
termine whether the bearings of the rear swing
arm or the bearings of the suspension strut
present vertical play.
To check it, pick the bicycle up by the saddle
and try to move the rear wheel back and forth
to the sides. If necessary, ask someone to
help you hold the front of the bicycle stable.
To test the play on the suspension put the
rear wheel down softly on the ground and lift
it again gently. Listen for rattling noises.
If required, have any potential play immedia-
tely fixed by your ROTWILD dealer because
the risk of further more severe damage exist.
Inspect the alignment of the suspension parts
from behind after a fall. If necessary, ask your
dealer for advice!
Manufacturers of suspension struts
provide instruction manuals in which full details
about adjustment possibilities are given. Please
read the instruction manuals carefully before
you start to make any adjustments.
Suspension parts are constantly subjected to
dirt and water. Modern suspension systems are
developed and constructed for these conditions
– it is therefore not necessary to protect these
with rubber or neoprene covers.
Check the air pressure in your rear shock before
every ride.
