BIKE SET-UP
Setting Rebound Damping on the Fox 38 Forks
•
Remove the protective cover over the rebound knobs on the lower fork leg.
•
To set rebound, start from the open (or fastest) position by turning the
the right fork leg counterclockwise until it stops clicking. On the Fox 38 Grip X2 there are two dials. One for
high speed and one for low speed.
•
Refer to the chart below for the recommended settings when setting rebound. Fox clicks are in parentheses.

Setting Compression Damping on the Fox 38 Grip X2 & Grip Forks
•
Grip X2 Forks- To set compression, start from the open (or
fastest) position by turning the black (LSC) dial &
dial counterclockwise until they stop clicking.
•
Refer to the table on the right for suggested starting points
based on rider weight.
•
The recommended starting points may need to be adjusted
based on riding style, preference, and terrain.
•
Grip Forks- We always start with the lever in the full open
position. Most riders will not need to make any changes from
this position.
•
If you do need more compression support, the lever will
provide a low speed compression adjustment until the lever is
turned halfway.
•
Fully closed provides a nearly locked out feel for climbing.
Recommended Tire Pressure
•
Tire pressure is an important factor on having the bike ride properly. If the tire pressure is too high, the tire
will not conform to ground, reducing traction. If the tire pressure is too low, the tire could pinch flat.
•
It is important to have an accurate pressure gauge when setting tire pressure; preferably a digital gauge
with a 0.03 [bar] (0.5 [psi]) accuracy.
•
The recommended tire pressure will vary slightly based on rider weight, riding style, and terrain.
•
Some riders may find it helpful to start a ride at a slightly higher pressure than recommended and let out a
little air throughout the course of the ride until you find your ideal riding tire pressure.
