Setting the damping
The damping is adjusted by valves inside. When the oil is forced through these
valves this slows down the speed with which the suspension fork is extended or
compressed and prevents the suspension “bouncing” after hitting an obstacle.
In this way it is possible to optimise the bicycle’s reaction to obstacles.
Suspension forks with adjustable rebound damping have an adjusting knob
(mostly red) to slow down or accelerate the rebound movement (e). If a second
(mostly blue) knob is available, the compression speed can be set and/or the
lockout function can be activated.
Start the setting with a completely open damping (rebound and compression
on “-”). Take hold of the handlebars with both hands and pull the front brake.
Lean with your entire weight on the fork and remove your weight immediately.
The fork will extract at the same speed as you made it compress.
Turn the red adjusting knob in the direction ”+“ (f) until you hear a click. Com-
press the fork once again with the front wheel brake pulled and then remove the
weight abruptly once again. You will note that the fork extends more slowly.
Repeat the compression and the release by continuously turning the rebound
damping. You will get a feeling for the working of the rebound damping.
The typical setting of the rebound damping is an extension of the suspension
components at reduced speed, however not at a sluggish pace. A rebound
movement at reduced speed ending up in a sluggish movement is definitely a
too high damping.
Ride over an obstacle (e.g. down a kerb) subsequently and turn the rebound
damping in small steps towards the “+”-setting. You have found the proper re-
bound setting when the suspension fork does not cycle more than once. Always
check a changed adjustment during a test ride in the terrain.
Some suspension forks have a compression damping in addition. The typical
compression damping, or on some suspension forks the high-speed compres-
sion damping, slows down the compression when riding at high speed over an
obstacle. A high compression speed would possibly make the fork bottom out.
Always make a test ride over different terrains with various surfaces after each
change to the settings (a-c).
Check afterwards the position of the rubber ring/cable tie. Its distance from
the wiper is the maximum suspension travel that you have used. If the rubber
o-ring/cable tie has moved a few millimetres only, your rear shock is too firm.
Reduce the air pressure of air sprung forks or the initial spring tension of coil
springs. If that brings no improvement, have the springs replaced.
If the rubber ring/cable tie has shifted over the entire length of the tube (d) or
if the fork audibly bottoms out and hits the top repeatedly when riding on bad
roads, the setting of the springs is too soft. In the case of air-suspension forks
the pressure must be increased. In the case of steel coils, have them replaced by
your SCOTT dealer.
DANGER!
G
Suspension forks are designed in a way to absorb shocks. If the fork is too
rigid and jammed, the terrain-induced shocks pass directly into the frame
without any damping. The frame is normally not designed to withstand such
undamped stresses. If your suspension has a lockout mechanism, do not acti-
vate the lockout function when riding in rough terrain, but only when riding over
smooth terrain (roads, field tracks).
CAUTION!
A
The suspension fork should be set up and adjusted in a way that it does not
reach the end of its travel, i.e. bottom out, unless in extreme cases. A spring
rate which is too soft (air pressure is too low) can usually be heard or felt as a
“clunk” type noise. This noise is caused by the sudden complete compression of
the suspension fork as it reaches bottom out. If the suspension fork frequently
reaches bottom out, it will fail over time, and so will the frame.
NOTE!

In case of inquiries, contact your SCOTT dealer or follow the respective in-
structions in the manual of the suspension fork manufacturer on this SCOTT
info CD.

If you have found the desired setting, write down the ideal inflation pressure
