ROTWILD USER MANUAL
SUSPENSION FORK
Your ROTWILD bike can be equipped with
a suspension fork to provide you with the
greatest possible comfort when riding on
a wide range of dierent surfaces. Shocks
generated by uneven surfaces are consi-
derably reduced
and your bike is
much easier to
handle on rough
tracks. Any shocks
resulting from
uneven surfaces
are generally
transmitted to a
pneumatic spring
integrated in the
left (in the direc-
tion of travel) fork
element. To ensure the optimum function
of the suspension forks, it is necessary to
adjust the suspension fork characteristics
to your body mass and cycling style.
Adjusting air pressure
Fully variable adjusting of the air pressure
is done by air pressure. Loosen the cover
on the left fork crown for this purpose
and screw a compatible pump onto the
air valve.
Sag
The forks should sag by about 20% when
you mount your bike. Please ask an assi-
stant to measure the amount of sag when
you are in the saddle.
Tip: Bind a zip tie around one of the forks
when the bike is not loaded. Slip the zip
tie as far down the sliding tube as you
can. When you mount your bike, the clip
will be pushed up as far as the suspensi-
on sags. You can now easily measure the
actual sag distance. If the suspension
forks sag too much, increase the the air
pressure to arrive at the correct value.
Suspension test ride
Find a suitable terrain for testing the
setting of your suspension forks. In an
ideal case, the forks should work over the
complete stroke – the suspension should
only bottom out in the case of extremely
hard impacts.
Adjustment of shock absorption
Once you‘ve adjusted the relevant
negative spring deection on the suspen-
sion fork, you now start to optimise the
rebound, i.e. you congure the rebound
speed of the fork. The adjustment knob
for that is located at the bottom of the
right fork blade. Too little shock absorpti-
on gives you the feeling as if the bicycle
will throw you o, because of the abrupt-
ness of the rebound action. The more you
close the shock absorption, the longer it
will take for the spring to rebound. Too
tight shock absorption causes the fork
to drop down during impacts following
quickly on each other, because it cannot
rebound fast enough.
