Info

Installing Your Fork Be sure your fork is properly installed before proceeding. If your fork came pre-installed on your bicycle, continue to the next section, otherwise see “Installing a 40 mm Fork” on page 162. Before You Ride 1. Check that the 20 mm axle pinch bolts and crown pinch bolts are properly adjusted and tightened. 2. Clean the outside of your fork with soap and water and wipe dry with a soft dry rag. Do not spray water directly on the seal/upper tube junction. Caution: Do not use a high pressure washer on your fork. 3. Inspect entire exterior of fork for damage. The fork should not be used if any of the exterior parts appear to be damaged. Please contact your local dealer or FOX Racing Shox for further inspection and repair; see “Contact FOX” on page 321. 4. Check headset adjustment. If loose, adjust according to manufacturer’s recommendations. 5. Check that brake cables or hoses are properly fastened. 6. Check that the front and rear brakes operate properly on flat land. Setting Sag To get the best performance from your fork, it is necessary to set and adjust sag. Generally, sag should be set to 15 – 25% of total fork travel. 1. Install a zip tie with light friction on the upper tube and push it down until it contacts the fork seal. 2. Carefully sit on the bike and assume a normal riding position. The fork should compress slightly. 3. Being careful not to further compress the fork, dismount the bicycle. Measure the distance between the seal and the zip tie. This distance is sag. 4. Compare your sag measurement to the Sag Setup table below. If sag is lower than in the table, turn the preload knob (shown below) counter-clockwise one (1) full turn. Measure sag again and repeat adjustment if necessary. If sag is higher than in the table, turn the preload knob clockwise one (1) full turn. Measure sag again and repeat adjustment if necessary. If correct sag cannot be achieved by adjusting the preload knob, see the 40 Coil Spring Settings table below. You may need to obtain a coil with a different spring rate.
