1. ASSEMBLY Fitting your Idylle onto your bike demands care and attention. For your safety, please do respect the following instructions. 1.1. the steerer tube Before cutting the steerer tube, first you have to take some measurements : height of the headset, length of the headtube of the frame, height of the stem and then add 5 to 10mm. Calculate the lenght as below : Add the length of the headtube of the frame to the height of the headset and to height of the headset plus 5 to 10mm.
1.4. Disc brake installation The Deville disc bolt pattern uses caliper mount for post mount 160 (PM160). To assemble the disc brakes, check the following procedure: 1. Install the DH disc brake system, according to disc brake manufacturer's specifications. 2. Be sure to torque all fasteners and bolts to manufacturer's recommendations. Consult the instructions that came with your disc brakes for proper installation procedures.
IMPORTANT Balancing the air chambers pressure It is important to balance the positive and negative chambers to ensure optimum operation of the fork every time you adjust the pressure. Proceed as follows: After adjusting the pressure, play the fork slowly 3-4 times on the first inch of travel. Thus, the air pressure is distributed equally between the chambers, and your fork is ready to roll! 2.2.
Tuning tips : When it comes down to hydraulic setting there is no such thing as a magical formula, many factors have to be taken into account (bike balance, spring rate, geometry of the bike…).Having said, that you can draw conclusions from what follows : - Excessive diving of the bike upon braking : harden the LS compression. - Often bottom out: harden the HS compression. - Feeling harsh on roots or square edges : soften HS compression - Uncomfortable, arms pain : soften rebound.
CAUTION To get the correct oil level in the cartridge side, you must bleed the air while you are pouring the oil. Once there is no air remaining in the cartridge you can adjust the level.
4. FAQ What initial settings for the fork? The "Deville Chart list" is available on the download section of the bosmtb.com website. The « Deville Chart list » summarizes the recommended settings (clicks and air pressure) depending on the body weight. Refer also to chapter 2 of this manual for details. My fork is leaking when I connect the high pressure pump, what can I do? Check with a Schrader valve tool if it is screwed correctly.
