Checking basic setting of fork

9.11
Info
For various reasons, no exact riding sag can be determined for the forks.

Adjusting the compression damping of the fork

9.12
Info
The hydraulic compression damping determines the fork suspension behavior.

Adjusting the rebound damping of the fork

9.13
Info
The hydraulic rebound damping determines the fork suspension behavior.
–
As with the shock absorber, smaller differences in the rider's weight can be com-
pensated by the spring preload.
–
However, if the fork is often overloaded (hard end stop on compression), harder
springs must be fit to avoid damage to the fork and frame.
