Selecting Air Pressure, "Zero-Sag" Adjustment; General; Simplified Description - GIANT BICYCLES NRS 2004 Bedienungsanleitung

3. Re-install all parts in reversed order.
The threads of fixing bolt should be cleaned and re-set using Loctite
blue Removable Threadlock (#242) or similar material.
Recommended tightening torque of the fixing bolt: 12~15 Nm.
WARNING:
Improper (dis)assembly may result in damage to the bicycle or in an accident which can cause
serious injury or death.

4-4 Selecting air pressure, "zero-SAG" adjustment.

General.

How to set up the rear shock correctly with "zero-SAG", in order to maximise the efficiency, comfort &
TM
control of an NRS bike.
Usually, the rear shock of a Dual Suspension is partly compressed if the rider sits on the bike (SAG).
TM
NRS is based on the principle of "zero-SAG". That means that the rear shock is not compressed when
the rider sits on the bike and rides on a nicely paved road. It will only compress when the bike meets an
obstacle.

Simplified description.

1. Check the following table to find the correct air pressure, depending on your weight:
Note: for sure, the pressure in the table is too low, but you have to start with this value to find the
exact "zero-SAG" setting.
2. Inflate the air chamber until the correct pressure has been reached.
3. Test ride your bike on the road. Do some accelerating and sprinting.
4. Does the rear suspension "work / bob", is the rear shock compressed ?
If yes, this means there is still some "SAG", and the air pressure in the air chamber is still too low.
5. Increase the pressure of the positive spring in repetitive steps of 5 or 10 psi. following the points 2, 3
and 4 until "zero-SAG" and "no bobbing" is reached.
