Maintaining a hydraulic fork
To optimise its functioning, it is recommended for a hydraulic fork to be drained every year. The levels are done, the air is inflated, and off you go again!
Tools: Screwdriver / Socket spanner / High pressure pump / Regulator / Oil + jar
Step 1
Deflate the cartridge with a small screwdriver.
Step 2
Unscrew the cartridge with a 24 hexagon socket and a ratchet, so that the used oil can be drained.
Step 3
Drain the used oil into a measuring container. At the same time, inspect the condition of the oil (presence of residue or other).
Step 4
Fill with oil, using the graduated container, according to the quantity and viscosity index recommended by the manufacturer (refer to the manual or visit the manufacturer's website).
Step 5
Refit the cartridge using the ratchet and a 24 hexagon socket, while inspecting the condition of the top seal and greasing it lightly.
Step 6
Inflate the fork with the amount of air recommended by the manufacturer (depending on the weight of the person) and make the various adjustments (rebound, low speed, etc.).
