Travel adjust

In most case the suspension travel of the suspension fork is reduced by turning

a knob. There are some forks where the reduction is only realized after a deep

spring compression. In the case of full suspension rear frames this is typically

done by screwing off segments on which the rear shock is mounted or by loos-

ing or readjusting screws.

Compression damping (d)

In most cases a blue adjusting knob.

The damping which controls the rate at which the fork compresses. Prevents

the suspension fork from bottoming out when compensating very fast impacts.

Especially high-quality suspension elements distinguish between “high speed”

(for hard impacts = rapid spring compression) and “low speed” (for slow com-

pression, e.g. bouncing when riding out of the saddle) compression damping.

Rebound damping (e)

In most cases a red adjusting knob.

The damping which controls the rate at which the forks extend after being com-

pressed. Prevents bike bobbing.

Lockout (f)

In most cases a lever on the suspension element or the handlebars.

A device to block the fork or the rear shock so that the suspension element

does not cause bob when riding on tarred roads or smooth surfaces. Not to be

used off road.

Platform damping

Increases the (low speed) compression damping rate and suppresses bobbing.

As opposed to the lockout function, the suspension is not blocked completely.

SUSPENSION ON BERGAMONT BIKES

GLOSSARY

Suspension fork

Bicycle fork (a) absorbing and damping shocks through moving components.

The most common among these forks are the telescopic suspension forks.

What is designated as stanchion tubes are the thinner tubes press fitted or

screwed to the fork crown of a telescopic fork. What is designated as lower leg

are the lower tubes in which the stanchion tubes slide in.

Rear shock

The rear shock (b) is the element which combines the spring as well as the

damping in the rear frame of a full-suspension bike. Often the rear shock is also

referred to as shock absorber.

Spring rate or hardness

The force that is required to compress the spring by a certain suspension travel

– measured in Newton per millimetre (N/mm) or pound per inch (lbs/in). A

higher spring rate requires more force for the travel. With air springs a higher

rate means a higher pressure.

Spring preload

In the case of the widespread air suspension systems, the air pressure in the fork

turer’s recommendations.

Within a certain range a preload can be applied to the coil springs. Then the

suspension only reacts when a greater load is applied. The spring rate remains,

however, unaltered. Heavier riders cannot compensate a too soft spring rate

with a higher initial tension.

Negative suspension travel (“sag”)

The suspension travel that is taken up by the rear frame or the fork when the

rider takes up his or her usual riding position at a standstill. This is usually speci-

fied as a percentage of the overall suspension travel.
