Rebound Adjustment; Compression Adjustment (Tst) - Marzocchi ROCO SHOCK 2007 Handbuch

ROCO RC WORLD CUP

7.2.3 Rebound adjustment

With the rebound adjuster you can control the return speed
of the rear shock after compression.
The right rebound speed setting makes the bike stable letting
it follow the variations in the terrain and any obstacles.
If the setting of the rear shock absorber is too reactive this will
make the rear suspension instable and the mountain bike will
have a tendency to snake. Too slow a setting however will
cause problems when dealing with multiple obstacles where
the suspension can't return to its fully extended position fast
enough between one obstacle and the next.
The rebound speed must be adjusted after you have adjusted
the spring preloading correctly.
The rebound speed can be adjusted with knob (R) near the
shock absorber fi xing eyelet.
R
• By turning the adjuster in a clockwise direction the
hydraulic damping is increased, rendering the rear
shock slower in the rebound phase.
• By turning the adjuster in a counter-clockwise direction
the hydraulic damping is decreased, rendering the rear
shock more reactive in the rebound phase.

OTE
To change the setting of the compression braking always start
from the fully closed position (adjuster fully clockwise) and
note the number of "clicks".

Don't force the adjuster knob (R) beyond its limit of travel.

7.2.4 Compression adjustment (TST)

The TST system allows adjustment of compression damping
of the rear shock thanks to a revolutionary valve system.
This allows the cyclist to obtain the best adjustment of the
type of trail.
The adjuster (C), situated near to the tank has fi ve main
positions: (CL), (+), (AM), (-), and (DS). Thanks to these fi ve
positions, the user can adjust the suspension on the basis of
the type of ground (see table below).
•
NEVER us the "CL" position while riding downhill as the
suspension system will not react properly when hitting
obstacles, and can result in a loss of control of the
bicycle, an accident, personal injury, or death.
Don't force the adjuster knob (C) beyond its limit of travel.
