Adjusting The Rebound In A Rock; Shox Damper; Adjusting The Compression In A; Rock Shox Damper - Bosch BLACK BIRD KB064-ZAFT Series Translation Of The Original Operating Instructions

 Use the OPEN position for rough descents and
the LOCK position for efficient climbing. First set
the compression adjuster to the OPEN position.

6.13.5 Adjusting the rebound in a Rock

Shox damper

Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The rebound damper determines the speed at
which the fork rebounds to full length after
deflection. This speed affects the wheel's contact
with the ground and thus has an influence on
control and efficiency. The rear frame damper
should rebound fast enough to sustain traction
without producing an erratic or bumpy sensation.
If rebound damping is too tight, the rear frame
damper is unable to rebound fast enough before
the next impact. The rebound damper for the rear
wheel is located in the rear frame damper.

 Turn the setting wheel to the middle position.
 Ride the pedelec over a small obstacle.
 The ideal setting for the rebound damper has
been achieved when the rebound movement of
the rear wheel feels comparable to that of the
front wheel.

 If the rear wheel bounces back much more
quickly or slowly than the front wheel, change the
setting by turning the setting wheel.
• Turn the setting wheel in an anti-clockwise
direction to increase the rebound speed.
• Turn the setting wheel in a clockwise direction to
decrease the rebound speed.

6.13.6 Adjusting the compression in a

Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The compression damper controls the speed at
which the rear frame damper deflects during slow
impact, such as smaller impacts or when the rider
goes round a corner or shifts their weight. The
damper improves control and efficiency.
If the compression damper is set too high, the
suspension is too hard during impacts. The lever
is used to set the compression damper.
• Turn the setting wheel in a clockwise direction (+)
to decrease the deflection speed.
 Turn the setting wheel in an anti-clockwise
direction (–) to increase the deflection speed.

The selection of the appropriate gear is a
prerequisite for a physically comfortable ride and
making sure that the electric drive system
functions properly. The ideal pedalling frequency
is between 70 and 80 revolutions per minute.
 It is advisable to stop pedalling briefly when
changing gears. This makes it easier to switch
gears and reduces wear on the drivetrain.
