SETTING AND ADJUSTING SAG (Coil Shocks)
cont'd
5. For general purpose riding, the shock should compress
approximately one quarter of its travel (please refer to the Sag
Recommendations charts for specific recommendations for
the frame). Turn the shock's tension collar clockwise to
increase spring tension/decrease shock sag.
6. If the rider sits on the bike with minimal tension on the
spring and there is less than one quarter of the shock travel, a
lighter weight spring is needed. If you turn the shock tension
collar three complete turns and the shock compresses more
than a quarter of the shock's travel, a heavier spring is need-
ed. Contact your Giant Canada Inside Sales Representative
for replacement springs.
WARNING
Never tighten the spring tension collar past three turns from
minimum tension as doing so will cause the spring to "coil
bind " which can cause damage to the spring and internal
workings of the shock.
