2.1  Air  Spring  

  
The   first   adjustment   that   should   be   done   on   the   fork   is   to   set   the   air   pressure.   This   adjusts   the   stiffness   of   the   air   spring  
according  to  your  weight.   The  stiffness  of  the  air   spring  induces  a  degree  of  fork  travel  when  you  sit  on  your  bike.  This  value,  
commonly  called  sag,  can  vary  based  on  your  usage.  This  value  should  be  between  15mm  (smooth  terrain/climbs)  and  20mm  
(rough   terrain/downhills)   for   the   100mm   Dizzy   and   between   20mm   (smooth   terrain/climbs)   and   25mm   (rough  
terrain/downhills)  for  the  120mm  Dizzy.  The  sag  measurement  should  be  taken  with  both  feet  on  the  pedals  and  both  hands  on  
the  bars,  arms  and  legs  in  the  pedaling  position.    
  
To  achieve  the  best  performance  from  your  BOS  product,  it  is  important  to  set  your  optimal  pressure.  The  chart  below   will  give  
you  some  base  values  based  on  your  weight.  Your  specific  pressure  may  vary  based  on  your  riding  style  and  personal  preference.  
However,  do  not  stray  too  far  from  the  indicated  pressures,  or  you  may  risk  changing  the  performance  of  your  fork.

Important  :    

Balancing  the  air  chamber  pressure:  
To  ensure  optimum  operation,  it  is  important  to  balance  the  positive  and  negative  chambers  every  time  you  adjust  the  
air  pressure.  
  
Proceed  as  follows:  
After  adjusting  the  pressure,  cycle  the  fork  slowly  3-­‐4  times  on  the  first  inch  of  travel.  
Thus,  the  air  pressure  is  distributed  equally  between  the  chambers,  and  your  fork  is  ready  to  roll!
