DORADO PRO - EXPERT OWNER'S MANUAL
BRAKE CALIPER ADAPTER INSTALLATION
Both post-mount and IS disc brake caliper adapters are
included with your fork (HBG P/N 141-23817). Identify the
mounting standard of your disk brake caliper. Post-mount
calipers have bolt holes parallel to the orientation of the rotor.
IS calipers have bolt holes perpendicular to the orientation of
the rotor. Consult your brake manufacturer's owners manual
for further information. Only a 203mm [8in] rotor may be used
on the Dorado.
Once the proper adapter is identified, install the adapter as
shown. Use the two bolts provided in the kit (M6x1, 20mm
long), Torque to 9.0-11.3 N-M [80-100 lb-in].
BRAKE HOSE INSTALLATION
WARNING!
FAILURE TO PROPERLY ROUTE AND SECURELY ATTACH
THE FRONT BRAKE HOSE TO THE FORK CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Included with your fork is a small, black brake hose guide
(P/N 09-23481) that can be attached to the lower crown to aid
in routing the hoses to disc brake calipers. Also included is
a standard zip tie to secure the hose to the bash guard. The
preferred method is to route the hose so that it runs inside
the spring leg, secured to the bash guard, then through the
brake hose guide. The hose should be loose through the
lower crown hose guide so the hose is free to translate up and
down. Make sure the brake line is not crimped and does not
touch the tire as the fork moves through its range of travel.

WARNING!
WHEN INSTALLING THE WHEEL WITH A PROPERLY
INFLATED TIRE, CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE FORK
ACHIEVES MINIMUM TIRE CLEARANCE. FAILURE TO
CONFORM TO RECOMMENDED TIRE CLEARANCE SPEC-
IFICATIONS MAY CAUSE THE TIRE TO STOP SUDDENLY
DURING USE CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Measure minimum tire clearance from any point on the profile
of the tire upward to the bottom of the crown (Image 7).
Compare to Table 1, page 15. for minimum tire clearance.
Measure the tire at maximum width (Image 7). Compare with
Table 1 for maximum tire width.
INITIAL SET-UP
MEASURING TRAVEL (the total amount of up and down
movement)
To determine how much travel your fork has, simply measure
the distance from the top of the drop-out to the seal on the
outer leg. See Image 6 below to determine travel.
