1. The fork on your bicycle is designed for use by a single rider, on mountain trails,
and similar off-road conditions.
2. Before riding the bicycle, be sure the brakes are properly installed and adjusted. Use
your brakes carefully and learn your brakes' characteristics by practicing your braking
technique in non-emergency circumstances. Hard braking or improper use of the front
brake can cause you to fall. If the brakes are out of adjustment, improperly installed or
are not used properly, the rider could suffer serious and/or fatal injuries.
3. Your fork may fail in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, any
condition that causes a loss of oil; collision or other activity bending or breaking
the fork's components or parts; and extended periods of non-use. Fork failure
may not be visible. Do not ride the bicycle if you notice bent or broken fork parts,
loss of oil, sounds of excessive topping out, or other indications of a possible fork
failure, such as loss of shock absorbing properties. Instead, take your bike to a
qualified dealer for inspection and repair. In the event of a fork failure, damage to
the bicycle or personal injury may result.
4. Always use genuine RockShox parts. Use of aftermarket replacement parts voids
the warranty and could cause structural failure to the shock. Structural failure could
result in loss of control of the bicycle with possible serious and/or fatal injuries.
5. 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 the International Distributor List). A fork leg or
drop-out failure could result in loss of control of the bicycle with possible serious
and/or fatal injuries.
6. Forks designed for use with 'v'-style brakes: 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. Forks designed for use with disc-style brakes: follow the
brake manufacturer's installation instruction for proper installation and mounting of
the brake caliper.
7. Observe all owner's manual instructions for care and service of this product.
ROCKSHOX FORKS ARE DESIGNED FOR COMPETITIVE OFF-ROAD RIDING AND
DO NOT COME WITH THE PROPER REFLECTORS FOR ON-ROAD USE. YOUR
DEALER SHOULD INSTALL PROPER REFLECTORS TO MEET THE CONSUMER
PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION'S (CPSC) REQUIREMENTS FOR BICYCLE
STANDARDS IF THE FORK IS GOING TO BE USED ON PUBLIC ROADS AT ANY TIME.
