Dual Suspension - Dynacraft SINGLE SPEED Owner's Manual

DUAL SUSPENSION

Dual suspension bikes are equipped with a front fork as well
as a rear suspension generally located below the seat. The
rear suspension unit is a combination of a piston that works in
conjunction with a spring to allow the rear swing arm to rotate on
a pivot point. Ensure all attaching hardware is secured and there
is no lateral movement of the rear triangle. The amount of Rear
Suspension travel can be adjusted by turning the adjusting plate.
Clockwise will increase spring tension and decrease travel, while
turning counterclockwise will decrease spring tension and increase
travel. There are many different types of suspension systems, too
many to deal with individually in this manual.
WARNING
There must be enough tension on the spring to hold the spring plate
in place. Failure to do this may cause the mechanism to fail. Fail-
ure to maintain, check and properly adjust the suspension system
may result in suspension malfunction, which can cause you to lose
control and fall. Changing suspension adjustment can change the
handling and braking characteristics of your bicycle. Always check
for changes in the performance of your bicycle by taking a careful
test ride in a hazard free area. If your bike has suspension equipment,
the increased speed you may develop also increases your risk. When
braking, the front of a suspended bike dips. You could lose control
and fall if your skill is not up to handling this system. Get to know how
to handle your suspension system safely before trying any downhill or
very fast biking.
