Installing the front wheel
To assemble the front wheel, follow this procedure:
1.
Loosen the four axle pinch bolts on the fork lowers and remove the axle .
2.
Install the front wheel into the dropouts.
3.
Put a small amount of grease on the thread of the axle .
4.
Lightly tighten the axle to the lower leg.
5.
Tighten the two left side (caliper side) dropout pinch-bolts to to 4-5 N.m torque.
6.
Compress the fork twice without braking to release residual tension and tighten the two right side dropout pinch-bolts
to 4-5 N.m torque.
To disassemble the wheel, follow these instructions in reverse.
1.4
Mounting the brake caliper
The Idylle brake caliper bolt pattern uses a post mount 160 (PS160) standard mount. Follow the disc brake manufacturer’s
recommendations for installation and the following guidelines.
The disc brake caliper mounting bolts must have 10 mm of thread engagement with the fork.
The disc brake caliper mounting bolt tightening torque level must never exceed 10 n.m.
2.1
Air Pressure
The first adjustment that should be done on the fork before riding 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 30mm (smooth terrain/climbs) and
50mm (rough terrain/downhills). The sag measurement should be taken with both feet on the pedals and both hands on the
bars, arms and legs in riding 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.
