COMPRESSION DAMPER INSTALL
Rotate the adjuster hex on the
4
compression damper counter-
clockwise to the unlocked/open
position. Install the damper into the
fork.
Rotating clockwise, use a torque
5
wrench and a standard cassette
lockring tool, such as Park Tool's
FR-5.2, with the appropriate socket
to torque the compression damper
assembly to 60-80 in-lbs [6.8-9.0
Nm].
Non-standard spanners may
damage the damper's splined
interface. Only use a standard
cassette lockring tool and apply a
top-down force while loosening to
prevent slipping.
*PRO MODEL* Install the knob seal
6a
and adjuster knob. Holding the
knob steady, use an 11mm socket
and torque wrench to assemble the
knob lock nut (rotating clockwise)
and tighten to 0.5-0.7 in lbs [4-6 N
m].
