Suspension Frame (various models)

Adjustment:

The bicycle may have an adjustable shock-absorbing suspension. You can change the suspension, as you prefer, for a softer or a ﬁrmer ride.

WARNING: Make sure there are at least two threads showing (C) above the Adjusting Nut (A) so the shock does not come loose.

To change the suspension:

•For a softer ride, turn the Adjusting Nut (A) clockwise so the Suspension Spring

(B)is compressed less.

•For a ﬁrmer ride, turn the Adjusting Nut (A) counter clockwise so the Suspension Spring (B) is compressed more.
