When you have set the sag correctly, as above described, and when the rear
shock works properly during a normal test ride, but if then the rear shock bot-
toms out nevertheless, you can increase the compression damping a little.
Proceed in this case as well click-by-click, as a too tight compression damping
may prevent the rear shock from making use of its full suspension travel. The
setting of the compression damping can be a long process which must be car-
ried out consciously and always in small steps.
Always start at the lowest level, i.e. the adjusting knob must be turned full in
direction “-”.
Always check a modified setting during a test ride in the terrain (e).
If you do not trust the setting of the damping or if problems occur with it, con-
tact your SCOTT dealer or follow the corresponding instructions in the manual
of the rear shock manufacturer, which you can find on this SCOTT info CD.
DANGER!
G
A too strong damping of the rear shock (rebound damping) can result in a
sluggish rebound movement with a rear frame that will not recover when
exposed to a quick series of impacts. Risk of falling!
DANGER!
G
Do not turn any screws by using tools in the vague hope of adjusting them
somehow. You could be loosening the fastening mechanism, thus provoking
an accident. Normally, the adjustment devices are operated with the fingers and
are marked by all manufacturers with a scale or with “+” (for stronger damping/
harder suspension) and “-” signs.
DANGER!
G
When mounting a new rear tyre, make sure there is enough clearance
between tyre and frame as the rear frame compresses entirely. If necessary,
deflate the rear shock completely and press the saddle forcefully downward to
check this. The rear wheel can get jammed. Risk of falling!
CAUTION!
A
Do not ride your bicycle, if the rear shock bottoms out. The rear shock itself
as well as the frame could sustain damage. The spring rate should always
be adjusted to the weight of the rider and the luggage as well as to the riding
conditions.
Rear shocks with adjustable rebound damping (a+b) have an adjusting knob
(mostly red) to slow down or accelerate the rebound movement.
If a second (mostly blue) knob is available, the compression speed can be set
and/or the lockout function (c) can be activated.
Start the setting with a completely open damping (rebound and compression
level on “-”) (d). Hold the saddle with both hands. Lean with your entire weight
on the saddle and remove your weight immediately. The rear shock will extract
at the same speed as you made it compress.
Turn the red adjusting knob in the direction “+” until you hear a click. Press the
saddle down once again and remove your weight abruptly. You will note that
the fork extends more slowly.
Repeat the compression and the release by continuously turning the rebound
damping. You will get a feeling for the working of the rebound damping.
The typical setting of the rebound damping is an extension of the suspension
components at reduced speed, however not at a sluggish pace. A rebound
movement at reduced speed ending up in a sluggish movement is definitely a
too high damping.
Ride over an obstacle (e.g. down a kerb) subsequently and turn the rebound
damping in small steps towards the “+”-setting. You have found the proper
rebound setting when the rear frame does not cycle more than once. Always
check a modified setting during a test ride in the terrain (e).
In addition, some rear shocks have a compression damping (f). The typical
compression damping – or in the case of some rear shocks the high-speed com-
pression damping – reduces the rate at which the rear shock compresses when
riding at high speed over an obstacle. Otherwise a high compression speed
could make the rear shock bottom out.
A week damping ensures good response behaviour, may however lead under
certain conditions (when riding too fast over obstacles, e.g. steps) to a too
strong compression of the rear frame or to a bouncing when riding out of the
saddle. A strong damping hardens the suspension, i.e. reduces the riding com-
