11. Install the COIL SPRING, SPRING
PERCH and SPRING COLLAR onto the
assembly. Ensure the SPRING PERCH is
positioned between the COIL SPRING and
the SPRING COLLAR. Correct preload
needs to be set such that the SPRING
COLLAR is tightened 1-4mm beyond the
point at which the COIL SPRING is first
contacted by the SPRING PERCH and has
no play along the length of the cartridge
tube.
Preload needs to be adjusted using the
included spacers so that the spring is
properly secured when approximately 9mm
of INNER TUBE thread is exposed (min
8mm, max 10mm). Too little preload may
result in the spring moving around and
causing noise - too much may result in
topout noise. If you are experiencing
substantial topout noise even with minimum
preload, please contact us.
Insert a 2mm allen key through the hole in
the INNER TUBE to prevent it from rotating
if required.
12. Check that the COIL SPRING is
adequately pre-loaded so that it is not able
to rattle around. One or two of the 2mm
SPRING SPACERS (part number:
13-07-3-08) may be required for appropriate
preload. Position the longest spacers
closest to the COIL SPRING and the
shortest spacers furthest away as this help
stabilise the spring assembly during use.
**NOTE: Getting preload right is necessary
for proper operation of the fork. Too much
or too little can cause substantial noise.
