Lockout
When taking long uphill rides involving hard pedalling out of the saddle, a suspension fork is typically bobbing. It is advisable to lock the damping, if the suspension fork has a lockout mechanism (b). For downhill rides on uneven ground the lockout mechanism must be open stringently (c).
WARNING
Do not actuate the lockout function when riding over field tracks, but only when riding over smooth terrain (such as roads or field tracks) (d).
Maintenance
Suspension forks are components of sophisticated design that require regular maintenance and care. This has led almost all suspension fork manufacturers to establish service centres where you can have your forks thoroughly checked and overhauled at regular intervals according to use, e.g. once a year.
The following routines are essential for maintenance:
1. Make sure the sliding surfaces of the stanchion tubes and the wiper rings are absolutely clean.
2. Clean the suspension fork, if it is soiled, directly after the ride with plenty of water and a soft sponge (e).
3. After washing your bike, spray the stanchion tubes of the suspension fork with a little grease spray (f) approved by the manufacturer or apply a very thin film of hydraulic oil. Compress the fork several times and wipe off excess lubricant with a clean rag before you set off for your next ride.
