Shock Setup - Propain Rage Carbon Bedienungsanleitung

14
Not less than twice per year you should do an air can service with
your air shock. This can be done at either a bike dealer in your re-
gion or at the manufacturer of the shock.
If you are uncertain in any of the points mentioned above, please
do not hesitate contacting Propain or your local bike dealer.

Shock setup

Your shock needs to be set up correctly to ensure your bike per-
forms well. Wrongly set up shocks can cause damages to the frame
or its spare parts. Furthermore, it can cause crashes and in the
worst case severe injuries.
Your shock is set up correctly if it compresses not more
than 30% when you sit on the bike (SAG). Propain's rec-
ommendation is 25% for this bike.
Ask a friend for help to find the right air pressure or the right steel
spring. He can either measure the remaining visible length of the
piston rod or read the number of the SAG indicator that is visible on
most of the recent air shock's pistons.
To adjust the SAG, please change the air pressure. Before meas-
uring the SAG again compress the shock several times to make
sure the pressure has distributed into all air chambers inside the
shock.
When using a coil shock, you can find your right spring in the table
below.

In addition to the according SAG adjustments, the compression
speed has to be dampened to avoid a "bottom out". To adjust this
setting turn the screw or lever on your damper saying "compression"
or "high speed compression". If you experience "bottom out" with
your setting increase the compression damping.
"Bottoming out" your suspension can lead to damage of the frame,
parts and / or the shock.
