User manual DAHON REVELATION

[. . . ] This manual contains important information about the safe operation and maintenance of your fork. To ensure that your RockShox fork performs properly, we recommend that you have your fork installed by a qualified bicycle mechanic. We also urge you to follow our recommendations to help make your riding experience more enjoyable and trouble-free. The fork on your bicycle is designed for use by a single rider, on mountain trails, and similar off-road conditions. [. . . ] To tighten the axle into the dropout, turn the axle lever clockwise until hand tight. The axle threads into the left fork leg, tightening the hub against the left drop out. The axle is fixed in place in the lower leg by the Maxle Quick Release lever. Riding with an improperly installed wheel can allow the wheel to move or disengage from the bicycle, causing damage to the bicycle, and serious injury or death to the rider. it is essential that that you: · Ensure that your axle, dropouts, and quick release mechanisms are clean and free of dirt or debris. Ask your dealer to help you understand how to properly secure your front wheel using the Maxle Quick Release System. Never ride your bicycle unless you are sure the front wheel is installed properly and secure. Notes: Never use any other tool to tighten the axle into the lower leg. To lock the axle into the lower leg close the Maxle quick release lever. The quick release mechanism is an "over-center cam", similar to the quick release found on many bicycle wheels. When closing the lever, tension should be felt when the quick release lever is in the horizontal position (90 degrees to the lower leg), and the quick release lever should leave an imprint in the palm of your hand. If resistance is not felt at the 90 degree position and if the lever does not leave a clear imprint in the palm of your hand, tension is insufficient. To increase tension, open the quick release lever turn the quick release lock nut in small increments until proper tension is felt. A small (1-2mm) gap may be noticed between the inside flange of the maxle and the outside of the dropout. This gap is normal, and allows the right leg to "Float" in position prior to closing of the quick release. RockShox forks can be tuned for your particular weight, riding style and terrain. Remove the air cap on the air valve located on the rider's left side of the fork crown by turning counterclockwise. Using the air chart below as a guideline, inflate the air chambers to the desired pressure. sag is the compression of the fork caused by the rider's weight. Proper sag allows the front wheel to follow the contour of the terrain as you ride. Step off the bike, and measure the distance between the wiper seal and the zip tie. If you're unable to achieve optimum sag you may need to change the fork's air pressure or spring. [. . . ] Tip: Adjusting compression on forks equipped with PopLoc Adjust is best done with the fork in `Lock' position. Note: The compression setting does not adversely effect your fork's performance over high speed impacts. Under `Lock', heavier riders may find better performance with maximum Floodgate settings, while lighter riders may find minimum Floodgate settings work best. Experiment with higher or lower Floodgate settings while on the trail to optimize your fork for your riding style and performance preferences. [. . . ]
