Riding a bike is dangerous. Not properly maintaining or inspecting your bike is even more dangerous. It's
also dangerous not to read these instructions.
1. Before riding the bicycle, be sure the brakes are properly installed and adjusted. If the brakes don't
work properly, the rider could suffer serious and/or fatal injuries.
2. Only mount cantilever-type brakes to the existing brake posts. Forks with hangerless style braces are
only designed for 'V'- style 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. Only mount disc brakes through the mounting holes
provided on the lower tube. Do not use disc brakes or other devices that mount to other locations on
the lower tube besides the mounts provided. The lower tubes were not designed to sustain the stresses
such brakes or other devices could place on them, and structural failure to the fork may result.
Structural failure could result in loss of control of the bicycle with possible serious and/or fatal injuries.
3. Use extreme caution not to tilt the bicycle to either side when mounting the bicycle to a carrier by the
fork drop-outs (front wheel removed). The fork legs may suffer structural damage if the bicycle is tilted
while the drop-outs are in the carrier. Make sure the fork is securely fastened down with a quick release.
Make sure the rear wheel is fastened down when using ANY bike carrier that secures the fork's drop-
outs. Not securing the rear can allow the bike's mass to side-load the drop-outs, causing them to break
or crack. If the bicycle tilts or falls out of its carrier, do not ride the bicycle until the fork is properly
examined for possible damage. Return the fork to your dealer for inspection or call RockShox if there is
any question of possible damage (See International Distributors listed by country on Page 20). 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 a 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.
