Rebound
The rebound defines the speed at which the fork
rebounds after being loaded.

Total deflection
Source: Benny Wilbers, Werner Koch: Neue
Fahrwerkstechnik im Detail (New chassis
technology in detail): The distance that the wheel
travels between an unloaded and a loaded
position is called total deflection. When at rest, the
vehicle's mass is applied to the springs and
reduces the total deflection by the negative
deflection to the positive deflection.
Wear

caused by chemical and/or physical processes.
Weight of the ready-to-ride pedelec
Source: ZEG: the indicated weight for a ready-to-
