Rebound damping
In most cases a red adjusting knob (a).
The damping which controls the rate at which the forks extend after being compressed. Prevents bike bobbing.
Lockout (b)
In most cases a lever on the suspension element or the handlebars.
A device to block the fork so that the suspension element does not cause bob when riding on tarred roads or smooth surfaces. Not to be used off road.
FRONT SUSPENSION
Most of the URBAN JUNGLE city, trekking bikes and URBAN JUNGLE pedelecs have suspension forks. This feature gives you better control of your URBAN JUNGLE bike when riding cross- country or on rough road surfaces and ensures more ground contact for the tyre. It noticeably reduces the strain on you and your bicycle caused by the mechanical shocks from the terrain.
Suspension forks differ in their types of spring elements and damping. Suspension forks normally work with air spring elements or less often with coil springs. Damping is usually done by oil.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Suspension fork manufacturers normally include instructions with their deliveries. Read them carefully before changing any settings or doing any maintenance work on your suspension fork.
For more information see the suspension glossary heading this chapter.
Adjusting the spring rate
To work perfectly, the suspension fork has to be adjusted to the weight of the rider, the sitting posture and the intended use. Be sure to have this adjustment carried out by your URBAN JUNGLE dealer at the time of delivery.
