Low Speed Compression Damping Adjuster
•
Increases firmness and support on slow
compression (downward) stroke of the
fork. Firmer settings will increase support
for bermed turns and
“

out
”
style slow
compressions.
•
Approximately 16 clicks of adjustment
•
Turn black dial clockwise to increase
firmness
•
Softer: best for lighter riders, less
aggressive riding
•
Firmer: best for heavier riders, more
aggressive riding
Air spring pressure
•
Use included shock pump to increase/
decrease air pressure
•
Sets sag /
“
ride height
”
•
Spot recommends starting by setting the fork
air spring pressure to 37% of your riding
weight (with helmet, pack, gear, etc.) in
pounds. For example, if you weigh 180lbs
ready to ride, you would inflate your fork to
0.37 X 180 = 67psi.
•
Increase pressure (up to +15psi) if you are
bottoming out frequently. If adding air
pressure does not prevent frequent bottom
outs, you may need to upsize your
VOLUME
SPACER
.
•
Decrease pressure (up to –
10
psi) if you are
never using full travel. If reducing air
pressure does not allow you to access full
travel you may need to downsize your
VOLUME SPACER
.
Rebound Damping Adjusters

Under Black Cap
•
Adjusts return speed
“

”
of suspension
•
Turn clockwise to slow the rebound, counter-
clockwise to speed up.

To adjust, turn the red rebound knob
clockwise until it stops, then slowly unwind the
knob while counting each time it clicks.
•
Spot recommended rebound settings–
based
on air spring pressure:
•
Increase rebound speed if the bike feels rough
and low on fast sections with successive bumps
•
Decrease rebound speed if the bike feels
“
bucky
”,
like riding a pogo stick on successive
bumps.

Volume Spacers
•
Air volume spacers are installed in the fork
to control how the spring forces increase
as the shock is compressed
•
A larger volume spacer will make the fork
more progressive and harder to bottom
out on big hits and landings
•
A smaller volume spacer will make the fork
more linear and easier to access full travel.
•
Changing volume spacers is a simple pro-
cess. Instructions for swapping spacers can
be found here:
Travel Indicator O
-
Ring
•
The fork seal will push the o
-
ring up the
stanchion tube as it compresses
•
Measure from the seal to the o
-
ring to
determine your max travel usage.
•
The Mayhem 130 comes stock with a
140mm travel fork.
High Speed Compression Damping Adjuster
•
Increases firmness and support on fast
compression (downward) stroke of the
fork. Firmer settings will increase support
for square edge hits and landing jumps
•
Approximately 8 clicks of adjustment
•
Turn blue dial clockwise to increase
firmness
•
Softer: best for lighter riders, less
aggressive riding
•
Firmer: best for heavier riders, more
aggressive riding
