Adjusting the tyre pressure
 The tyre pressure determines the force required to
press the fork together. If the tyre pressure is
reduced, the fork slackens more and rebounds
less.
Screw caps in different designs

Only adjust the tyre pressure when the bicycle is
stationary.
 The air valve is located under a screw cap on the
head of the left shock absorber. Unscrew and
remove the screw cap.
 Adjust the air pressure as an initial value using a
high-pressure damper pump and based on the tyre
pressure table on the fork and the rider's weight.

Retracting brake linings

New brake linings take time to break in and adjust to
their final braking force.
 Accelerate bicycle to about 25 km/h.
 Brake bicycle until it comes to a halt
 Repeat process 30–50 times.
 The brake linings and brake discs are now broken
in and provide optimal braking power.
