Page 2: Safety Instruction
® state of the art bike technology Safety Instruction Ignoring the safety instructions will lead to the termination of the warranty. 1) Servicing is only to be done by skilled personnel. 2) When servicing always use protective goggles. Because of the construction of the damping unit a sudden pressure release can occur during disassembly. -
Page 3: Assembly Dimensions
2.2. Assembly dimensions Before you mount the AiR-force SLR to your bike you have to check that the shock absorber has enough room to work without collision with the frame or other parts of the bike in every state of travel. The following draft shows the most important dimensions:... -
Page 4: Variation Of The Valve Of The Negative Chamber
(Read chapter 3.1 to learn how to reduce the air chamber pressure.) When the AiR-force SLR is absolutely pressure free, you can unscrew the mounting ring of the air chamber (one rotation is enough – clockwise thread). Now you can rotate the valve clockwise and define its position relatively to the shock absorber fixing eyelets. -
Page 5: Adjustment
3.1. Primary filling The AiR-force SLR is already filled with air when you receive it from your dealer. To adjust the pressure or for testing the clearance of the shock absorber or for the adjustment of the valve position it might be necessary, to remove the air from the shock absorber. -
Page 6: Negative Travel
Negative travel The negative travel is defined through the compression of the shock absorber when the rider is normally seated on the bike. Using the AiR-force SLR the negative travel is about 20-30% of the maximum travel. You can use a binder or rubber ring on the oil chamber to measure the negative travel. -
Page 7: Inspection
® state of the art bike technology 4.2. Inspection The rear shock absorber is object to general wear and tear, so that a servicing every year or earlier depending on ride conditions is obligatory. Even storage of the shock absorber leads to the aging of the seals (oil loss, smacking and slurping sounds, shock absorber failure) and makes a servicing necessary! An inspection consists of an oil change (silicon oil) as well as a change of all seals and small function parts.
