1. ASSEMBLY Fitting your Idylle onto your bike demands care and attention. For your safety, please do respect to 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.
3. Route the disc brake hose (for hydraulic disc brakes) or brake cable housing (for mechanical disc brakes) from the caliper to the inside of the lower leg and through the supplied disc brake hose guide. 4. Tighten the disc brake hose guide screw (M3 x 12) with a 2.5 mm-hex key wrench, and torque it to 1N.m. 5. Test the brakes for proper operation on level ground before hitting the trails. The disc brake caliper mounting bolts must have 10 mm of thread engagement with the fork.
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 compression. - Often bottom out: harden the compression. - Feeling harsh on roots or square edges : soften the compression - Uncomfortable, arms pain : soften the rebound.
3.3 Changing oil An oil change with the Idylle SC fork consists in changing the oil bath in each leg. Keep highly attention about the correct oil level, in both leg (cartridge and spring). 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 "Idylle SC Chart list" is available on the download section of the bosmtb.com website. The « Idylle SC 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.
