Regular Maintenance - Rock Shox Sid XC Manual De Instrucciones

Increasing the compression damping for extremely long climbs will help keep the fork from bobbing.
Although this may cause a harsh small bump ride, the cartridge is designed to compress or blow-off under
sharp-edge hits.
Increase the compression and rebound damping for rides that are technical. Increasing both the compression
and rebound will help in controlling your maneuvering during slow to medium speeds over rough and uneven
terrain.

engineered for easy service to help you keep the fork clean, greased, and performing like new. Performing
maintenance more often is necessary if you ride in extreme conditions. The recommended tools and intervals
for maintenance are listed below.

3. Front brake cable for proper routing
4. Front brake pads for proper contact with the rim
5. Front brake lever for proper adjustment
6. Headset for proper function and adjustment
7. Fasteners (top caps, bake posts and shaft bolts) for proper torque (See table
above)
After every ride clean and dry the fork, taking care not to get water in the fork at the
Resi-wiper seal.
After every week or eight hours of riding, clean and oil the upper tubes and check fasteners for proper torque.
Follow this procedure:Maintenance
