36 Suspension frames and suspension-related parts
Please note that the suspension part possibly
has to be set up again if you ride with higher
loads, such as during a cycle tour.
A typical suspension resembles the following:
Your rear shock absorber can look like this:

You can identify the location of the suspension
part in the frame using the diagram above.
Suspension seat posts have proven their
value in both daily use and on tours.
Most suspension seat posts can
be individually adjusted to the
rider. For this purpose, the seat
Spring stiffness
adjustment
post is equipped with softer or harder
suspension springs or the preload
changed. To do this, please contact your
FLYER retailer.
To ensure effective functional-
ity, it is important to regularly
clean the suspension parts. You
can purchase cleaner specifically for
this purpose from your specialist re-
tailer although warm water and wash-
ing up liquid also suffice. Do not forget
to regularly grease the suspension
parts. You can purchase specialist oils
and conservation fluids at your special-
ist retailer.
Use a soft cloth to wipe the contact
surface of the shock absorber and the
fork, removing any dirt. In order to op-
timise the life span and performance
of your suspension, you can also apply
a special care oil (Brunox, Caramba,
available at specialist retailers) to all
contact surfaces, joints and gaskets.
The same applies for suspension
seat posts.
