Bos Idylle 2011-2013 - Manual (Page 5)

2.2. Hydraulic adjustments
Idylle has 2 hydraulics adjustments: compression and rebound.
The compression adjustment seats at the bottom of
the right hand leg (flat head screw).
The rebound adjustment is on the top of the right
hand stanchion (the non-disc side).
Always start from fully tighten position, then tighten
down counting the clicks to adjust your settings.
Tighten (anticlockwise) = close / harden
Undo (clockwise) = open / soften
A short tutorial : main setting solutions
When it comes down to hydraulic setting there is no such thing as a magical formula, many factors have to be taken
into account (influence of the rear end of the bike, spring rate, the height of the front end, geometry of the bike…).
Having said that you still draw conclusions from what follows :
- Excessive dive of the front end upon braking : harden the compression.
- The front end keeps on bottoming out : harden the compression.
- Uncomfortable front end (pumped forearms) : soften rebound.
- The forks don’t spring back and stay low after succession of bumps : soften rebound.
- Front end too high (in dynamic situation) : harden the rebound.
Whenever you are far from the standard settings (factory settings) It’s always best to consider what influences the
performance of the forks. Proceed step by step, one setting at the time by hardening or softening few click each time.
If you ever get lost whilst you are setting up the forks always go back to its original settings.
Standard settings Idylle :
Compression : open 15 clics from closed position
Rebound : open 18 clics from closed position
