ROTWILD USER MANUAL
Note
The ne adjustment of the forks requires
some time and patience. If you encounter
problems with the adjustment, please
take your bike to a qualied professional
workshop.
Note
Manufacturers of spring forks provide
comprehensive instruction manuals in
which full details about adjustment
possibilities are given. Please read the
instruction manuals carefully before you
start making any adjustments.
FULL SUSPENSION
In addition to the spring fork, your
ROTWILD mountain bike can come with
an articulated chain stay that is spring-
mounted and dampened by a rear shock.
Note
Full-suspension bicycles have signicant-
ly bigger ground clearance than bicycles
without springs. At the correct saddle
height the feet cannot touch the ground.
Adjust the saddle lower at the beginning
and practice getting on and o.
The settings of the shock absorber have
to be adjusted according to the purpo-
se of use and the weight of the cyclist.
Already when seated on the bicycle, the
suspension strut of the rear swing arm
must drop down slightly in order for nega-
tive spring deection (= sag) to develop.
When riding through a hole the rear shock
relaxes and the chain stay evens out the
bump. If the hardness of the rear shock
is set too high, this eect is lost because
the bicycle is already fully rebounded.
This basic safety and comfort feature is
then not utilised.
Otherwise the rear shock must be desi-
gned, or adjusted, in such a way that it
does not jolt. A too soft rear shock can be
felt and mostly also clearly heard, which
results from the thump-like full compres-
sion of the rear shock when a hard hit is
experienced. If a rear shock is jolted too
often it can be damaged in the long run.
The dampening eect in the rear shock
is regulated internally by the ow of oil
and therefore the speed at which the
suspension strut rebound or deect. This
way the reaction to obstacles can be
adjusted. In addition it is possible to limit
the rocking action of the chain stay when
pedalling.
When riding downhill and in case of bad
track surfaces it can be an advantage if
the shock absorption is opened widely.
I ne sense of touch is called for when
making an adjustment, because even a
small change to the adjusting knob can
have a big eect. Make us of quarter or
half turns to slowly reach the most ideal
setting for you.
Air pressure
In your ROTWILD fullsuspension moun-
tain bike, air is used as suspension
medium. The level of air pressure in the
suspension strut is altered externally with
the use of a suitable air pump. The level
of air pressure determines the suspension
hardness. The higher the pressure, the r-
mer the suspension. Please pay attention
to the pressure information in the special
