Front Suspension Travel & Sag Guide - Giant GLORY - SERVICE MANUAL V2.0 Service Manual

3. To check the rebound damping rate while riding, ride off a curb while seated.
The rear suspension should bounce only once upon rebound (the heavier the
rider, the more damping will be required). Adjust accordingly to accomplish this
motion. If the suspension bounces more than once, turn the damping knob in
the appropriate direction until one bounce is achieved.
FRONT SUSPENSION TRAVEL & SAG GUIDE
To determine bike's front suspension travel adjustments and
recommended settings, please refer to the fork manufacturer's technical
manual.
A suspension fork is effective at both absorbing bump forces and helping the
tire track the ground for improved traction and braking control.
When in active mode, a fork will rely on sag to keep the front tire in better
contact with the ground during braking. The chart should be used as a general
guideline.
AIR SPRUNG FORKS
As a general guide, pump the main chamber (main spring) to a psi equal to 70%
of your body weight. Ride off a curb or similar object. If there is little or no
movement from the fork, decrease psi in 10-psi increments until desired
movement is achieved. If the fork bottoms out, increase the psi in 10-psi
increments until desired movement is achieved.
To check rebound, turn the rebound damping knob (if applicable) counter
clockwise until it stops. With full body weight, push down on the fork forcefully
with the front brake on, watch (and feel) how the fork rebounds. Turn the
rebound damping knob clockwise until the fork rebounds slightly slower than
with no damping (the heavier the rider, the more damping will be required).
