MY20B01-22_1.0_21.06.2019 86Operation Use the OPEN position for rough descents andthe LOCK position for efficient climbing. First setthe compression adjuster to the OPEN position.Figure 80: Suntour compression adjuster closed (2)6.12.5 Adjusting the rebound in a RockShox damperOnly applies to pedelecs with this equipmentThe rebound damper determines the speed atwhich the fork rebounds to full length afterdeflection. This speed affects the wheel's contactwith the ground and thus has an influence oncontrol and efficiency. The rear frame dampershould rebound fast enough to sustain tractionwithout producing an erratic or bumpy sensation.If rebound damping is too tight, the rear framedamper is unable to rebound fast enough beforethe next impact. The rebound damper for the rearwheel is located in the rear frame damper.Figure 81: Setting the rebound damper strength on therear 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 hasbeen achieved when the rebound movement ofthe rear wheel feels comparable to that of thefront wheel. If the rear wheel bounces back much morequickly or slowly than the front wheel, change thesetting by turning the setting wheel.• Turn the setting wheel in an anti-clockwisedirection to increase the rebound speed.• Turn the setting wheel in a clockwise direction todecrease the rebound speed.6.12.6 Adjusting the compression in aRock Shox damperOnly applies to pedelecs with this equipmentThe compression damper controls the speed atwhich the rear frame damper deflects during slowimpact, such as smaller impacts or when the ridergoes round a corner or shifts their weight. Thedamper improves control and efficiency.If the compression damper is set too high, thesuspension is too hard during impacts. The leveris used to set the compression damper.• Turn the setting wheel in a clockwise direction (+)to decrease the deflection speed. Turn the setting wheel in an anti-clockwisedirection (–) to increase the deflection speed.Figure 82: Setting the compression damper strengthusing the rear frame damper setting lever (1)6.13 Gear shiftThe selection of the appropriate gear is aprerequisite for a physically comfortable ride andmaking sure that the electric drive systemfunctions properly. The ideal pedalling frequencyis between 70 and 80 revolutions per minute. It is advisable to stop pedalling briefly whenchanging gears. This makes it easier to switchgears and reduces wear on the drivetrain.222311
