1. Place Maxle lever in the open position (Fig. A).
!
DIRT AND DEBRIS CAN ACCUMULATE BETWEEN THE DROPOUT
OPENINGS. ALWAYS CHECK AND CLEAN THIS AREA WHEN
REINSTALLING THE WHEEL. ACCUMULATED DIRT AND DEBRIS CAN
COMPROMISE THE SECURITY OF THE AXLE, LEADING TO SERIOUS
AND/OR FATAL INJURY.
2.. Slide the axle through the right side of the hub until it engages the threads of the left drop out.
3. To tighten the axle into the dropout, turn the axle lever clockwise until hand tight.
N :
OTE NEVER USE ANY OTHER TOOL TO TIGHTEN THE AXLE INTO THE LOWER LEG
AXLE CAN DAMAGE THE AXLE AND
1. To lock the axle into the lower leg close the Maxle quick release lever.
2. The quick release mechanism is an "over-center cam", similar to the quick release found on many
bicycle wheels. When closing the lever, tension should be felt when the quick release lever is in the
horizontal position (90 degrees to the lower leg), and the quick release lever should leave an imprint in
the palm of your hand. If resistance is not felt at the 90 degree position and if the lever does not leave
a clear imprint in the palm of your hand, tension is insufficient. To increase tension, open the quick
release lever turn the quick release lock nut in small increments until proper tension is felt.
3. Verify that the axle is unable to spin or move in the dropout by grasping the axle lever and turning
counter clockwise.

RockShox forks can be tuned for your particular weight, riding style and terrain.
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 or spring.
Use the tuning information below to assist in proper set up of your fork.
A
Dual Air (Pike, Reba, Revelation)
W ith independently adjustable positive (top) and negative (bottom) air chambers, the
air spring system of your fork can be easily tuned for your weight and riding style. Use
the following instructions as a starting point. If further fine tuning is desired, follow the
h i n ts at the end of this section.

Positive air pressure determines the amount of force required to compress your fork.
More positive air pressure will result in less suspension sag and higher bottom out
