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. If the brakes do not work 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 ma y not be visible. Do not ride the bicycle if y ou 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 y our bike to a qualified dealer for inspection and
repair. In the ev ent of a fork failure, damage to the bicycle or personal
injury may result.
3. Always use genuine RockShox parts. Use of aftermarket replacement parts
voids the warranty and could cause structural f ailure to the shock.
Structural failure could result in loss of control of the bicycle with possible
serious and/or fatal injuries.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Observe all o wner's man ual 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 ONROAD 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.
