E150 FORK SETUP

1. Setting air pressure and sag:

Use a high-pressure shock pump to add air. Sag is based on a % of stroke of fork. Set sag according to chart as a starting point, then adjust for preference, terrain and riding technique. Always perform adjustments with fork in long travel mode! Pressure increases in short travel.

Fig.6: Install a zip-tie (not too tight) on one leg. Push zip-tie down to seal, gently sit on saddle without bouncing (apply rider weight only to the bike) to compress fork and displace zip-tie, then measure distance between fork seal and zip-tie (sag). The rider should be in full ride gear and sitting in a normal riding position when setting sag.

To maximize performance, monitor travel for the first few rides, the goal is to reach 90-100% (135-150mm) of travel a few times during a ride without harsh bottoming. If full travel is not being reached on occasion during a normal ride, lower pressure until it does.

2. Adjust low speed compression (Fig.7):

Blue knob (right) affects low speed damping, not spike valve. Low speed compression helps control cornering and braking stability, as well as control fork bottom-out.

Turn knob clockwise for a firmer, more efficient ride. Full clockwise is the maximum damping setting.

Turn knob counter-clockwise for a softer, more supple setting.

RECOMMENDED SETTING: Maximum compression (1 turn clockwise). Start soft (counter-clockwise), then increase firmness until desired ride quality is achieved.

3. Adjust rebound (Fig.7):

Red knob (right) controls rebound damping, the rate which the fork returns after fork has been compressed.

Turn knob clockwise for slower rebound (slower speeds, bigger hits).

Turn knob counter-clockwise for faster rebound (higher speeds, small bumps, more traction.

RECOMMENDED SETTING: Start from full closed [clockwise], then open 4 clicks.

4. Set Attitude Adjustment travel (Fig.7):

Black knob (left) controls fork travel length, from 110mm to 150mm.

Turn knob clockwise for shorter (110mm) travel. Pushing fork beyond 40mm will activate short travel setting.

Turn knob counterclockwise and cycle or unweight fork for longer travel (150mm).

WARNING! Avoid lowering pressure too far and bottoming out too often and too hard, this can result in rear shock or fork damage.

Fork stroke: 150mm Recommended sag: 25-30% (37.5-45mm)

Home Gym specifications

In recent years, the concept of a specialized home gym has transformed from a luxury to a necessity for fitness enthusiasts. With the increasing demand for workout convenience, specialized home gyms are designed to offer a comprehensive exercise experience tailored to individual preferences and lifestyle. One of the main features of a specialized home gym is its versatility. Many setups include various fitness equipment such as resistance bands, free weights, stationary bikes, and multi-functional machines that cater to different training needs. This allows users to engage in strength training, cardio workouts, and flexibility exercises, all within the confines of their home.

Another important characteristic is the incorporation of advanced technologies. With the rise of smart fitness equipment, specialized home gyms often come equipped with interactive screens and connected devices. These technological features allow users to access a wide array of virtual training classes, track their progress, and receive real-time feedback. Wearable technology such as smartwatches and heart rate monitors can synchronize with the gym equipment, giving users valuable insights into their performance and health metrics.

Customization is also a key feature of specialized home gyms. Users can design their workout spaces to suit their personal style and functional needs. From adjustable weight benches to multi-station machines, the flexibility to choose configurations ensures that users can optimize their workout experience. Additionally, specialized home gyms often prioritize space-saving designs and ergonomic arrangements, making them functional even in smaller living spaces.

Aesthetic appeal is another characteristic that modern specialized home gyms emphasize. Many homeowners look for sleek and stylish designs that seamlessly integrate into their home decor. This includes options for different color schemes and finishes, ensuring that the gym space serves as an attractive area for exercise rather than an eyesore.

In conclusion, specialized home gyms provide a tailored and immersive fitness experience. With features ranging from versatile equipment and advanced technology to customization options and aesthetic appeal, they cater to a growing market of individuals seeking convenience and effectiveness in their workouts. As fitness continues to evolve, specialized home gyms represent the ideal solution for those looking to maintain an active lifestyle without leaving the comfort of home.
