3. Rebound Adjustment. The K2 Attack 2.0 shock units are equipped with rebound adjustment. Rebound is the
movement of the shock unit from a compressed mode to an uncompressed mode. Rebound damping controls
the speed at which the shock returns to the uncompressed position. While riding, the shock unit is constantly
moving between compressed and non-compressed modes. Rebound damping is adjusted by rotating the
rebound adjuster knob (fig. 33). Clockwise rotation toward the “+” sign provides greater damping, while “-“
applies less damping. More damping means slower rebound. The proper rebound setting is a personal
preference and varies upon your weight and riding style. Experts agree that rebound should be as fast as
possible, without kicking back, or bucking the rider from the saddle when experiencing larger bumps.
5. Service
WARNING: Technological advances have made bicycles and bicycle components more complex, and
the pace of innovation is increasing. It is impossible for this manual to provide all the information required
to properly repair and/or maintain your bicycle. In order to help minimize the chances of an accident and
possible injury, it is critical that you have any repair or maintenance which is not specifically described in
this manual performed by your dealer. Equally important is that your individual maintenance requirements
will be determined by everything from your riding style to geographic location. Consult your dealer for help
in determining your maintenance requirements.
WARNING: Many bicycle service and repair tasks require special knowledge and tools. Do not begin
