[. . . ] Compression Damping The damping force generated by the shock as it is being compressed. Generally, compression damping is speed sensitive, meaning the faster the shock travels the higher the force of compression damping it produces. Rebound Damping The damping force generated by the shock as it returns to full extension. Spring Rate Defined as the amount of force required to compress the spring a given amount. [. . . ] As you adjust the knob in a counterclockwise direction from the max position, the damping rate decreases allowing the shock to return quicker. When rebound damping is set correctly the shock will return quick enough to keep time with the bumps of the trail. If a shock is returning too slowly, the shock will compress upon bump impact but will not return to full extension in time for the next bump impact. This will result in a harsh ride due to the fact that the rebound damping is holding the shock down into a stiffer part of the spring curve. If a shock is returning too quickly, the rear wheel will "hop" off the ground after bump impact. : Rebound Damping and Firmness Adjustment (Glyde-RL, O2-RL) Move the lever in a counterclockwise direction until you contact a positive stop. Moving the lever in a clockwise direction from the 3 o'clock position (positive stop) toward the 8 o'clock position will increase the amount of rebound damping (slowing the return). Adjusting the lever further from the 8 o'clock position to the 9 o'clock position will increase compression damping to the point of firmness. : Compression Damping/Firmness Adjustment (O2-RC) To adjust the compression damping, turn the blue compression adjustor lever in a counterclockwise direction until you contact a positive stop. From this point, as you turn the lever in a clockwise direction, the compression damping force will progressively increase to a point of firmness at the end of the lever's stroke. O2-RC Glyde-RL O2-RL 10 : Compression Damping/PowerValve Adjust (O2-PVA, Vector-RC) The PowerValve damping system controls rider induced suspension movement and delivers a firm, stable pedaling platform, ensuring a higher level of rider efficiency. The PowerValve adjustment feature is the external adjustment of the PowerValve system. This adjustment gives the rider the ability to increase or decrease the damp threshold of the PowerValve to best optimize the shock performance for specific riding conditions. O2-PVA Turn the blue knob counterclockwise until you contact a positive stop. There are four (4) PowerValve settings - 3 o'clock is the minimum PowerValve setting and the 9 o'clock position provides the highest amount of PowerValve pedaling platform. Minimum PowerValve Setting Medium-low PowerValve Setting Medium-high PowerValve Setting Maximum PowerValve Setting : O2-RC The 5 o'clock and 7 o'clock positions are settings in between the minimum and maximum allowing further tunability for most bikes, riding conditions and personal preferences. It is recommended that you start with the lever in the minimum position. Add PowerValve one step at a time by turning the blue lever clockwise until pedal feedback is minimized. 11 : Vector-RC Turn the blue knob clockwise until you contact a positive stop. As you turn the blue knob in a counterclockwise direction from the max position, you will progressively decrease the amount of threshold damping, making the shock softer in the initial part of the stroke. It is recommended that you start with the lever in the minimum position. Add PowerValve one step at a time by turning the blue lever clockwise until pedal feedback is minimized. : Compression Damping Adjustment (Vector-DH) Turn the blue knob clockwise until you contact a positive stop. As you turn the blue knob in a counterclockwise direction from the max position, you will progressively decrease the amount of compression damping, making the shock softer in compression (bump impact). Do not operate the Vector DH with less than 120psi or more than 180psi in the reservoir. [. . . ] A. The customer is responsible for all costs of maintenance services, non-warranty repairs, accident and collision damages, oil, seals, bushings and reducers, and mounting hardware. Q. What are some examples of "abnormal" strain, neglect or abuse?Specific examples are: Hucking, ghost riding, big drop, stunt / dare-devil riding, riding with broken parts, riding without oil in shock, too much preload, wrong spring rate, etc. Q. Does the warranty cover incidental costs such as shipping or transportation? [. . . ]
