Front Suspension Adjustment

To set up your M2S suspension properly, you will need a bicycle-specific shock pump, which is a high-pressure, low-volume style pump. This product can be purchased from m2sbikes.com or from your local bike shop. DO NOT USE AN AIR COMPRESSOR WHEN ADDING AIR TO YOUR SUSPENSION COMPONENTS.

Begin by sliding the orange o-ring down to the seal of your lower fork legs and opening the compression damper fully clockwise.

With your full riding kit on, gently sit on your bike in a neutral position, without putting additional weight on the front end of your bike.

Dismount carefully without further compressing your fork, then measure how far up the stanchion the o-ring has traveled. You are aiming to land that o-ring somewhere around 1" up from the seal.

Once your air pressure and sag are set, you can use the compression damper to fine-tune your suspension feel; turning that dial fully clockwise will open your damper and provide a softer ride feel, turning the dial fully counter-clockwise will close the damper for the firmest ride feel. Your fork will not completely lock out, and there will still be some suspension movement. If you choose to ride with your suspension near or fully closed, it is not recommended to use the bike off-road, over rough terrain, or similar conditions as this will accelerate wear and potentially cause damage to your fork's damper.
