Checking basic setting of fork

Adjusting compression damping of fork

Info
The hydraulic compression damping determines the fork suspension behavior.

Adjusting rebound damping of fork

Info
The hydraulic rebound damping determines the fork suspension behavior.
Info
For various reasons, no exact riding sag can be determined for the forks.
As with the shock absorber, smaller weight differences can be compensated by the
spring preload.
However, if your fork is often overloaded (hard end stop on compression), you must fit
harder springs to avoid damage to the fork and frame.
