Operation
6.5.5
Adjusting the Suntour fork
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The adjustment shown here represents a basic
setting. The rider should change the basic setting
to suit the surface and his/her preferences.
It is advisable to make a note of the basic
setting. This way, it can be used as the starting
point for subsequent, optimised settings and to
safeguard against unintentional changes.
6.5.5.1 Adjusting the negative deflection
Negative deflection
depends on the rider's weight
and sitting position. The recommended negative
deflection is between 15% (hard) and 30% (soft)
of the
total fork deflection
.
6.5.5.2 Adjusting the steel suspension fork
negative deflection
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
You can adjust the tensioning in the fork spring to
the rider's weight and their preferred riding style.
This reduces the negative deflection in the fork.
Figure 55: Negative deflection setting wheel on the
suspension fork crown
1
You will find the
negative deflection setting
wheel
beneath the plastic cover on the
crown
.
Remove the plastic cover.
Turn the
negative deflection setting wheel
in a
clockwise direction to increase the spring pre-
tensioning.
Turn the
negative deflection setting wheel
in
an anti-clockwise direction to decrease the
spring pre-tensioning.
You will have made the ideal setting if the
shock absorber deflects 3 mm when bearing
the rider's weight.
2
Replace the plastic cover on the
crown
after
making the setting.
Crash caused by incorrectly set suspension
If the suspension is set incorrectly, the fork may
become damaged, meaning problems may occur
when steering. This will cause a crash with
injuries.
Never ride the bicycle without air in the air
suspension fork.
Never use the pedelec without adjusting the
suspension fork to the rider's weight.
Notice
Settings on the chassis change riding
performance significantly. You need to get used
to the bicycle and break it in to prevent accidents.
