STEP 21 SETTING FORK REBOUND The rebound setting on your fork is how quickly your suspension reacts to impacts and returns to its normal position after compression. Your rebound settings can vary depending on the terrain you are riding on, your riding style, etc. A fast rebound setting is good when you need the fork to react quickly over continuous rough ground, but not so good, if for example, you are going off a lot of big drops where the faster rebound may pitch you forward too quickly. As with most things, finding a middle ground is best – not too fast, and not too slow – and then tweaking and refining as you begin to understand how your bike and suspension feels and reacts. The rebound adjuster for the fork is a silver dial located on the bottom of the right leg (A). The rebound adjustment is dependent on your air pressure setting. For example, higher air pressure requires more rebound damping. Use your air pressure to find your rebound setting. Turn your rebound knob to the closed position (fully clockwise) until it stops. Then back it out (counterclockwise) to the number of clicks shown in the tables overleaf. A REBOUND Open (counterclockwise) Least amount of rebound damping. Fork rebounds fastest. Closed (clockwise) Most amount of rebound damping. Fork rebounds slowest. 39
