For further fine adjustment, the telescopic part
of the seat post can still be adjusted to your

7.4 Adjusting the suspension
fork
NOTICE
Observe the separate component
instructions for the suspension
fork. In them, you will find all
detailed information of the compo‐
nent manufacturer.
7.4.1
What is the total weight
range?
Suspension forks with elastomers and/or steel springs
are each suitable for a certain total weight range (=
cyclist weight + luggage). This weight range usually
covers a span of 20 kg.
NOTICE
The weight range for which the sus‐
pension elements in your suspension
fork are suitable can be found in the
separate component instructions of
the suspension fork manufacturer
and/ or consult your specialist bicycle
dealer.
Contact your specialist bicycle dealer if your total
weight is outside the specified range.
Your specialist bicycle dealer can replace the suspen‐
sion fork elements if necessary and thus adapt them to
your needs.
7.4.2
Adjusting the preload
You can adjust the preload of the suspension fork. To
do this, increase the preload on the fork using the
adjuster.
Fig. 17: Suspension fork preload adjuster
By changing the preload, the breakaway torque of the
fork changes, i.e. with a higher preload the fork only
cmpresses at higher operating forces.
If the fork is preloaded too much, the suspension
travel will be reduced accordingly.
■
To adjust the preload and for basic set-up of
the suspension fork, follow the instructions in the
enclosed component instructions of the suspen‐
sion fork manufacturer.
