  • Page 7: Set-Up Of Rear Shock And Front Suspension

    Set-up of Rear shock and Front Suspension COIL SHOCK SET-UP All coil shock-equipped Giant bicycles use the same formula to determine “sag” and “rebound damping”. Please refer to the manufacturer’s technical information for specific details regarding shock function and set-up prior to riding Giant bicycle.
  • Page 8: Setting And Adjusting Rebound Damping

    Suspension Settings and Recommendations Glory with Maestro (8.8" rear suspension travel) Giant’s Maestro rear suspension design precisely positions the pivots and linkages to give you efficient pedaling and small bump compliance. Maestro’s pivot placement allows the rear suspension to be completely active under braking, allowing the rear wheel to react constantly to the terrain.

    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.
  • Page 10 SPRING AND ELASTOMER SPRUNG FORKS Springs on these types of forks are set at the factory. Most have a simple adjuster that allows the rider to make the fork firmer or softer depending on rider weight. The heavier the rider, the firmer the spring setting should be.

  • Page 11: Maintenance

    Maintenance General Maintenance Inspect all suspension bolts and tighten if necessary to required torque settings. Do not use high-pressure water sources to wash or rinse bicycle. Doing so can displace any lubricants that are present, as well as possibly forcing water and/or contaminants into the bearing that can harm the pivot and bearing, reduce performance, and cause premature wear.

    Replacement of dropout Each GLORY comes with three types of dropouts. The stock Glory comes stock with the Type 1 standard for a regular derailleur and traditional axle. You can swap this unit out for a Type 2 system which will allow you use a SHIMANO SAINT derailleur or Type 3 system which will allow you to use a ROCKSHOX MAXLE thru axle.
  • Page 15: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting Q1: If the frame pivots or links have any looseness or play Make sure that the pivot bolts are tightened to the appropriate torque value If the pivot bolt is not tightened to the appropriate torque value, unthread the bolt enough to expose the receiving threads on frameset or linkage. Put one drop of blue Loctite on the exposed receiving threads.
