Fork tips
CLEANING DO's and DON'TS
Do: Wipe all excess water, mud, and sand from the upper tubes,
lower tubes, and crown area with a clean rag or bristle brush (Park makes a
great one!).
Do: Wet a rag, or spray your fork with isopropyl alcohol or
degreaser. Wipe the crown, top caps, upper tubes, dust seals, and lower legs
clean.
Do: Apply fork oil, RedRum, or Teflon-based lubrication to
the upper tube area nearest to the dust seals. Cycle the fork a few times to
circulate the lubricant. You can even gently pinch the dust seal, nearest to the
upper tube, and add some lubrication (mentioned above) to the inside of the dust
seal. This will lubricate the foam ring. Wipe away any excess oil from the upper
tubes and dust seals.
Don't: Stop by the local car wash and spray your bike with a
power sprayer. This can force water into the dust seals and contaminate your
seals, foam rings, bushings, oil, and rebound damper with water, dirt, and sand.
Don't: Use a solvent (think WD40) to clean or lubricate your
RockShox suspension.
Use suspension or Teflon-based lubricant. Solvent will damage o-rings, seals,
and bushings.
PRE-RIDE PREPARATION
- Make sure your upper tubes are clean and lubricated
- Coil spring forks: Set your spring pre-load based on the riding
conditions for the days ride. Less pre-load for bigger hit riding. Turn top
cap pre-load adjuster knob counter clockwise. More pre-load for flatter
terrain. Turn top cap pre-load adjust knob clockwise.
- Air Spring Forks: Check and set your air pressure in the positive air
chamber, as well as the negative air chamber if you ride Dual Air.
- Make sure your headset is tight, and there is no play.
- Check your drop-outs and make sure your wheel is on tight.
- Set your rebound and compression damping based on the days terrain and
ride.
Haven't
been out on you bike since last summer ?
Well get it out of the shed and
bring it down for a service and tuneup and be ready for those long summer days.
We can check over those old tyres for you, grease that chain and make sure its
running smooth. We do puncture repairs and can also fix those old bent spokes.
We have all the spare parts needed to fix your bike and get you back on the
road. We can also advise on the correct use and any adjustments that will make
your ride easier.
