IDING A BIKE IS DANGEROUS OT PROPERLY MAINTAINING OR INSPECTING YOUR BIKE IS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS
DANGEROUS NOT TO READ THESE DIRECTIONS
1. Brakes must be properly installed and adjusted. If the brakes don't work properly,the rider could suffer
serious and/or fatal injuries. Before riding the bicycle,be sure the brakes are properly installed and adjusted.
2. Use the fork only with cantilever-type brakes mounted to the existing mounting posts. This fork is
intended and approved for use only with cantilever-type brakes mounted to the existing mounting
posts. Forks with hangerless style braces were designed for V-type or hydraulic cantilever brakes. Do
not use any cantilever brake other than those intended by the brake manufacturer to work with a
hangerless brace. Do not route the front brake cable and/or cable housing through the stem or any
other mounts or cable stops! Do not use a front brake cable leverage device mounted to the brace. Do
not use disc-type brakes mounted to the outer lower tube. The lower tubes were not designed to
sustain the stresses such brakes could place upon them, and structural failure to the fork may result if
any devices or type of brake other than cantilever are mounted on the fork. Structural failure could
result in loss of control of the bicycle with possible serious and/or fatal injuries.
3. Use extreme caution when mounting bicycle to a carrier. When mounting the bicycle to a carrier by the
fork drop-outs (front wheel removed), do not tilt the bicycle to either side. If the bicycle is tilted while
the drop-outs are in the carrier, the fork legs may suffer structural damage. You must also secure the
rear wheel. Not securing the rear wheel can allow the bike's mass to side-load the drop-outs, causing
them to break or crack. Make sure the rear wheel is fastened down (this includes Bike Tite truck-style
mounts also). If the bicycle tilts or falls out of the carrier, do not ride the bicycle until the fork is properly
examined for possible damage. If there is any question of possible damage, return the fork to your
dealer for inspection or call RockShox. (See Technical Services list by country on last page.) A fork leg or
drop-out failure could result in loss of control of the bicycle with possible serious and/or fatal injuries.
4. If the fork ever loses oil or if it makes sounds of excessive topping out, stop riding the bicycle
immediately and have the fork inspected by your dealer or call RockShox. Continuing to ride with the
fork in either of these conditions could result in loss of control of the bicycle with possible serious and/or
fatal injuries.
5. Always use genuine RockShox parts. Use of after-market replacement parts voids the warranty and
could cause structural failure to the fork. Structural failure could result in loss of control of the bicycle
with possible serious and/or fatal injuries.
