Fox float 32 manual

Page 5: Installing Fox 32Mm Forx 1. Remove existing fork from the bicycle. Remove the crown race from the fork. Measure the steerer tube length of the existing fork. Do not use rotors larger than mm. Install, route and check that all cables or hydraulic hoses are securely fastened to the lower leg and will not move during compression of the fork.

As a starting point, turn the knob all the way clockwise until it stops, then back off one click counterclockwise. Easier Harder CCW The X dampers feature a lockout that is controlled by an inertia valve and will remain locked out until there is bump input CW from the trail.

For safety reasons, it is recommended that travel adjustment be done while off the bike. Page Setting Sag 1. Unscrew the center blue aircap see diagram on left on top of the left fork leg to expose the Schrader valve. After changing travel check the fork for proper operation before riding. If there is noticeable play in the fork or if it makes strange noises, disassemble the fork and check for complete number and correct orientation of spacers.

Turn the fork right side up. Re-install the topcap and torque to in-lbs. Unscrew the blue aircap see diagram on left on top of the left fork leg to expose the Schrader valve. Push the air shaft assembly up until the shaft comes through the bottom hole. Install the crush washer and bottom nut. Torque to 50 in-lbs. Install a zip tie with light friction on the upper tube and push it down until it contacts the fork seal. The blue compression lockout lever, located just below the black lockout force adjuster knob, allows you to close the compression damping circuit in the fork.

This keeps the fork at the top of its travel, making it harder to compress. NOTE: When you adjust the compression lockout lever, the black lockout force adjuster knob will also move. This is normal; the lockout force adjustment setting will not be affected. Rotate the lever fully clockwise to lockout the fork. The fork will "blowoff" in the event that a big hit is encountered with the fork locked out. NOTE: The fork may cycle a couple of times after enabling lockout. Once complete lockout is achieved, the fork may continue to move 3 - 5 mm.

This is normal and does not affect performance. Even when your fork is fully locked out, there are instances when you still want your fork suspension to be active. To protect your fork's internal parts, your FOX fork will "blowoff" when it encounters an intense hit. You can adjust when the fork blows off—lockout force—by adjusting the black knob on the right-side top cap. A convenient tuning feature of the lockout force knob is that it allows you to leave your fork in the locked out position—no more fiddling with fork controls when the trail requires your undivided attention.

Although you might need to adjust the knob a few times to find the sweet spot, once it is found you can simply leave your fork locked out. Your fork will then respond to hits in the trail for example, but will be locked out when you are out of your saddle on a climb. Turn the knob clockwise to increase lockout force and counter-clockwise to decrease lockout force. NOTE: When you adjust the black lockout force adjuster knob, hold the blue compression lockout lever in place.

There are 10 clicks of adjustment. As a starting point, turn the knob all the way clockwise until it stops, then back off one click counter-clockwise.

Low-speed compression damping is adjusted with the blue bezel ring that is positioned just below the blue lockout lever. This ring has 8 clicks of adjustment range. Compression damping controls the fork compression speed. Adjust the low-speed compression with lockout off the lockout lever turned fully counter-clockwise. The factory setting is 8 clicks out counter-clockwise, from fully in clockwise. Knob Setting clicks out from full IN. Resists brake dive and keeps the fork up in the travel.

Too firm and you may have poor traction in loose conditions. Maximum wheel traction and bump compliance. Too soft and you may have excessive brake dive and a wallowy feel. With the patented timer circuit constantly in control as you ride, the transition between maximum pedaling efficiency and low speed damping control is nearly instantaneous.

To make pushing through the fork travel harder and increase the pedaling platform, turn the threshold adjust knob clockwise. To make pushing through the fork travel easier and decrease the pedaling platform, turn the threshold adjust knob counter-clockwise. The threshold adjust knob has fifteen 15 clicks of adjustment. Knob Setting clicks out from fully clockwise in. XC, trail; AM. Rider Weight lbs. Sag Setup. Sag Troubleshooting. Too much sag. Too little sag. Excessive bottoming. Harsh ride; full travel not utilized.
