justed correctly, no other adjustment will be effective to obtain good shock absorber
performance.
Spring preload adjustment
Using a hook spanner, loosen the locking ring (5). Operate on the adjusting ring nut
(3) to adjust the spring preload. Rotate the ring adjuster (3) clockwise to increase the
preload or anticlockwise to decrease the preload.
Hydraulic compression brake
The hydraulic compression brake controls the energy absorption when the shock ab-
sorber is compressed. In other words, the hydraulic compression brake adjusts "the
ease" of spring compression when the rear wheel is loaded or hits a bump.
Adjustment of the hydraulic compression brake
The hydraulic compression brake is adjusted by rotating the adjuster (2) located on
the gas bottle. Rotate the ring adjuster clockwise to increase the hydraulic compres-
sion brake or anticlockwise to decrease the hydraulic compression brake.
Rebound braking
Rebound braking controls the energy absorption when the shock absorber is in the
rebound phase. In other words, rebound braking adjusts the speed at which the shock
absorber returns to the normal position after having been compressed.
