Adjusting Suspension Fork - aventon SINCH Owner's Manual

ADJUSTING THE SUSPENSION FORK
Sinch features an RST Guide suspension fork to help you ride
with more comfort and control. The fork features two adjustments
to fine-tune its performance. You can use these adjustments to
suit various rider weights and riding styles.
PRELOAD ADJUSTMENT
You can find the preload adjustment knob on the top of the
left (from the rider's perspective) side of the fork crown.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase the spring preload and
counter-clockwise to decrease the spring preload. Bigger,
heavier riders will want more spring preload, and lighter,
more cautious riders need less. As a general guideline, if
the fork doesn't move much on bumps, less spring preload
is needed; if the fork frequently bottoms out (reaches the
end of its travel) then more spring preload is needed.
LOCKOUT
The lockout knob is located on top of the right (from the
rider's perspective) side of the fork crown. Engaging
the lockout stops the fork from moving at all. This is
useful on smooth roads or extended uphill pavement
when no suspension is needed. If you find the fork
movement undesirable for the conditions, turn the knob
counterclockwise to engage the lockout. Turn the knob
clockwise to disengage the lockout when done. Avoid
riding the bike on rough terrain with the lockout engaged.
