6.14.4 Adjusting the compression of a
Suntour damper
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The compression adjuster makes it possible to
make quick adjustments to the suspension
behaviour of the damper to suit changes in terrain.
It should never be used while riding on rough
terrain.
Figure 88: Suntour compression adjuster open (1)
Use the OPEN position for rough descents and
the LOCK position for efficient climbing. First set
the compression adjuster to the OPEN position.

6.14.5 Adjusting the rebound in a Rock
Shox damper
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The rebound damper determines the speed at
which the fork rebounds to full length after
deflection. This speed affects the wheel's contact
with the ground and thus has an influence on
control and efficiency. The rear frame damper
should rebound fast enough to sustain traction
without producing an erratic or bumpy sensation.
If rebound damping is too tight, the rear frame
damper is unable to rebound fast enough before
the next impact. The rebound damper for the rear
1
wheel is located in the rear frame damper.

Figure 90: Setting the rebound damper strength on the
rear frame damper setting wheel (1)
Turn the setting wheel to the middle position.
Ride the pedelec over a small obstacle.
The ideal setting for the rebound damper has
been achieved when the rebound movement of
the rear wheel feels comparable to that of the
front wheel.
If the rear wheel bounces back much more
quickly or slowly than the front wheel, change the
setting by turning the setting wheel.
•
Turn the setting wheel in an anti-clockwise
direction to increase the rebound speed.
•
Turn the setting wheel in a clockwise direction to
decrease the rebound speed.
