ASSEMBLY

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 counter-clockwise

will decrease spring tension and increase travel. There are

many different types of suspension systems-too many to deal

with individually in this manual.

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. Failure 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

you bicycle. Always check for changes in the perfor-

mance of your bicycle by taking a careful test ride in a

hazard free area. If your bike has suspension equip-

ment, the increased speed you may develop also

increases your risk. When braking, the front of a sus-

pended 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.
