    3 AIR SPRING SETUP Spring pressure setup A correct spring setup is the most important part of setting up your fork. Start with the recommended pressure and sag and go through the tuning steps described below. It is not possible to fully compensate for a poorly set up air spring by adjusting the damping system.
  • Page 10 3 AIR SPRING SETUP Dressed in full riding gear, assume your normal riding position on the bicycle. Step off the bicycle and measure the distance the O-ring (sag indicator) has moved. Sag should be set to approximately 15-25% of the fork travel.
  • Page 11 3 AIR SPRING SETUP Adjusting volume Adjusting the air spring volume by adding or removing volume spacers affects the ramp characteristics of the spring. Air pressure needs to be adjusted when changing the volume in order to maintain the same sag force. Adding spacers to the positive chamber will increase the end stroke spring rate.
  • Page 12 3 AIR SPRING SETUP ⚠ Warning! Make sure all pressure is released from the air spring before you start to work on it. ⚠ Warning! Never install more spacers than the maximum specified amount. Make sure the area around the top cap is completely clean.
  • Page 13 3 AIR SPRING SETUP Reset to original ride position After reducing the air pressure in the main chamber, it is necessary to reset the fork to its original length. Example: If you are lowering the pressure from 90 PSI to 70 PSI, the fork will get a lower ride position (shorter travel).
