It is extremely important that your RockShox fork is installed correctly by a qualified
bicycle mechanic. Improperly installed forks are extremely dangerous and can result
in severe and/or fata l i n j u r i e s .
1. Remove the existing fork from the bicycle and the crown race from the fork. Measure the length of the
fork steerer tube against the length of the RockShox steerer tube. The RockShox steerer tube may need
cutting to the proper length. Make sure there is sufficient length to clamp the stem (refer to the stem
manufacturer's instructions).
! W A R N I N G
DO NOT ADD THREADS TO ROCKSHOX THREADLESS STEERERS. THE
STEERER TUBE CROWN ASSEMBLY IS A ONE-TIME PRESS FIT.
REPLACEMENT OF THE ASSEMBLY MUST BE DONE TO CHANGE THE
LENGTH, DIAMETER OR HEADSET TYPE (THREADED OR
THREADLESS).
DO NOT REMOVE OR REPLACE THE STEERER TUBE. THIS COULD
RESULT IN THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE BICYCLE WITH POSSIBLE
SERIOUS AND/OR FATAL INJURIES.
2. Install the headset crown race (29.9mm for 1 1/8" steerers) firmly against the top of the fork crown.
Install the fork assembly on the bike. Adjust the headset until you feel no play or drag.
3. Install the brakes according to the manufacturer's instructions and adjust brake pads properly. Use the
fork only with disc style brakes mounted through the provided mounting holes. Do not use any
cantilever brake other than those intended by the brake manufacturer to work with a hangerless brace.
Forks designed for standard quick releases: adjust the front wheel quick release to clear the

dropout's counter bore. The quick release nut must be tightened after the wheel is properly seated into
the dropout's counter bore. Make sure four or more threads are engaged in the quick release nut when
it is closed. Orient the quick release lever in front of and parallel to the lower tube in the locked
position.
Keep in mind tire clearance as you choose tires. Maximum size is:

Be sure to check this diameter whenever you change tires. To do this, remove air pressure and compress the
fork completely to make sure at least 5 mm of clearance exists between the top of the tire and the bottom
of the crown. Exceeding maximum tire size will cause the tire to jam against the crown when the fork is
fully compressed.

The PopLoc Remote Lockout lever allows the rider to control the movement of their
suspension fork without removing their hands from the handlebars. Sp e c i f i c l e ft and
right PopLocs are available.
If needed, remove the grip, brake lever, a n d s h i fter from the handlebar. I f y o u a r e u n f a m i l i a r w i t h
the removal of these items, please consult the manufacturer's instructions.
1. Slide the Poploc onto the handlebar.
2. Re-install the shifter, brake lever, and grip on the handlebars. If you are unfamiliar with the installation of
these items, please consult the manufacturer's instructions. Always adhere to the recommended torque
specifications for these items.
3. Position the PopLoc as desired on the handlebar and tighten the clamp bolt to 20 in-lb (2.25 Nm)
4. Forks with PopLoc Adjust: Turn the blue compression adjustment dial counterclockwise until it stops.

5. Press the release button on the PopLoc.
6. Install the cable in the PopLoc.
7. Install the cable into the housing.
8. Feed the cable and housing into the cable stop on the fork crown.
9. Gently pull on the cable and align it with the groove in the rotating cam of the Motion Control damper.
10. Tighten the cable fixing bolt on the rotating cam to 8 in-lb (.9 Nm)

RockShox forks can be tuned for your particular weight, riding style and terrain.
S
E T T I N G
RockShox forks are designed to sag when you are sitting on your bike. Sag is the
compression of the fork caused by the rider's weight. Proper sag allows the front
wheel to follow the contour of the terrain as you ride.
To measure sag, set the fork to maximum travel. Install a zip tie on the upper tube of the
fork flush against the wiper seal. Sit on the bike with normal riding appa r e l . St e p o ff t h e
bike, and measure the distance between the wiper seal and the zip tie. This is your sag.
The sag should be between 15 and 25 percent of maximum travel. If you're unable to
achieve optimum sag you may need to change the fork's air pressure (Solo A i r ) , s p r i n g
(U-Tu r n C o i l ) o r p r e l o a d ( C o i l ) .
Use the tuning information below to assist in proper set up of your fork.

• Turning the adjuster clockwise increases spring preload (i.e., stiffening the spring), decreasing sag.
• Turning the adjuster counterclockwise decreases spring preload, increasing sag.

Solo Air (Recon and Tora)
The positive and negative air chambers with these forks fill simultaneously from a
single valve. The air spring is designed so the pressure in the two separate chambers
equalizes as air is added, simplifying setup and providing a balanced ride.

Setting Solo Air: Remove the air cap on the air valve located on the rider' s l e ft s i d e o f
