Rebound adjuster (Lefty JAKE)
1.
Rebound adjustment makes your Lefty adaptable to
a wide range of spring rates and riding condition.
The proper rebound setting is a personal preference
and varies depending on your weight and riding
style.
Determining the proper rebound setting may take a
number of rides. During the first few rides, make
small adjustments to the knob and note the different
ride characteristics.
Turn the adjuster clockwise, for slower rebound.
Turn the adjuster counter-clockwise, for faster
rebound.
The adjuster has 130 degrees of turning adjustment.
