HANGING TRAVEL
The suspension travel on Jett forks can be changed by installing a different plunger/damper kit. Follow the
procedure titled, "After Every Year or One Hundred Hours of Riding," to remove one-piece lower tube assembly.
Exchange standard plungers with the longer units included in the kit. Also exchange spring stack parts (coil
spring and spring spacers) with matching parts form the kit. Follow the procedures under "After Every Year or
One Hundred Hours of Riding," to complete the assembly.
B
USHING
The high quality bushings in RockShox forks are designed to last many months of hard riding. Protective
boots, a clean fork, and timely greasing are the keys to high performance and long bushing life. However, like
all moving parts, bushings will eventually wear and need replacement. Increased fore and aft movement of
upper tubes in lower tubes (similar to a loose headset) and/or slow action, even after a fresh greasing, signal
the need to remove and replace the bushings.

Glossary of Terms

Bottoming Out – the condition when all suspension travel has been used up.
Compression Stroke – the "upward" motion of a fork which is moving in response to a bump impact.
Damping Force – the force required to move a shock absorber/damper (general oil) at any given speed.
Forged – a metal forming process which optimizes material structure using very large forces acting on a
die mold in which material to formed is placed.
Geometry – Descriptive term for the lengths and angles used in a bicycle design.
Head angle – Angle the steering axis leans back from vertical.
HydraCoil –
Oil bath – oil reservoir system used for lubricating internal parts in the fork.
One piece – unitized lower leg assembly with both fork legs and fork brace cast as one piece.
Preload – The amount either in pounds or inches, a spring is compressed when fitted to an extended
shock absorber.
Rebound – The extension or return direction of the shocks or suspension.
Sag – compression of the suspension caused by the rider's weight.
Spring rate – The amount of force required to deflect a spring a given distance.
Tapered – varying wall thickness of a tube. A design to optimize placement of material, allowing most
efficient design considering the loads.
Topping out – the position of the fork at the "top" of the travel, or when the fork is fully extended. The
action of complete extension of the fork.
