It is not meant to replace the general bicycle owner’s manual or the shock and suspension fork manufacturer’s technical manuals that also came with your bicycle. If you did not receive these manuals, please contact your Authorized Giant Retailer. We encourage you to read all manuals relating to your bicycle and its suspension components before your first ride. All manuals contain important information regarding the safety and operation of your bicycle. Please refer to the manufacturer’s technical information that came with your bicycle for specific details regarding shock function and setup prior to riding your Giant bicycle. If you did not receive these technical booklets, contact your Authorized Giant Retailer. If you do not understand the quick-start instructions or have difficulty with setup, please see your Authorized Giant Retailer before riding your Giant bicycle. 4 Only Giant Glory and Glory DH model bicycles are engineered for use with dual crown suspension forks. Use of dual crown suspension forks on any Giant bicycle other than these models will void the warranty and may result in frame failure, which can cause injury or death. Giant Bicycle, Inc. is not responsible for damages to the bike and rider resulting from the use of dual crown forks. 5 Basic Terms & Shock Set-Up Overview TERMS Bottomed Out: When a rear shock or suspension fork (herein after referred to as “shock”) is compressed completely and all the suspension travel has been used Compression Stroke: The motion of the shock in response to an impact Damping: Internal mechanism to control the speed of compression or rebound PSI: Pounds per square inch Rebound: The extension or return stroke of the shock Sag: Compression of the shock caused by the rider’s static weight Spring Rate: The amount of force required to compress the spring Topped Out: When the shock or fork rebounds quickly enough to cause a “clunk” at the very top of its upstroke 6 SETUP Please refer to the individual shock manufacturer’s technical manuals for specific information on how to adjust the shock on your Giant dual suspension bicycle. The shock on your Giant dual suspension bicycle can be adjusted to meet your riding style and weight. This booklet is intended as a quick-start guide to help you get started. It may take a few rides to find your preferred settings. Sag All Giant dual suspension bikes rely on sag for it's suspension to work efficiently. Please take a few moments to read through this guide to understand sag as it applies to your bicycle (pgs. 12, 17). Setting your bike’s sag will greatly enhance your riding experience and the performance of your bicycle. 7 Rebound Damping Rebound damping controls the rate of speed at which the shock returns to its original position after responding to a bump force. Rebound damping prevents the shock from springing back too quickly. This is desirable because it improves the rear suspension’s sensitivity to small bumps and the tire’s ability to stay in contact with the ground. It also helps reduce the “pogo stick” motion from the rear suspension when the bike encounters a bump while the rider is seated. Typically, the heavier the rider (and higher the necessary spring rate), the more rebound damping is required. Please refer to this guide for details on how to set rebound damping rate. You should also refer to the individual shock manufacturer’s technical manual for specific information. Pedal Platform A pedal platform system is part of the compression damping circuit in the rear shock on your Maestro bike. The system helps to control pedal induced "bob" on the suspension. Please refer to the shock manufacturer’s technical manual for specific adjustment information. NOTE – The linkage design of the Maestro Suspension system is inherently efficient, therefore very little or no pedal platform is required to get the best from your bike. 8 GENERAL MAINTENAN...
