Okie dokie. I feel like a complete retard already, So what the ****, right?

The Left side, I have a blue knob with a screw thing in the middle, And the right side has a Black knob, with a screw thing in the middle of it.

I played with them a bit And it seems that each screw thingy (I kick ass at technical terms) Is rebound on each side, (which kinda doesnt make sense)
And the knobs on the outside are for Preload.

Does anyone that actually knows what they are talking about have a say?
Think is my fork BTW

The preload knobs are the knobs that are big and round with flats cut into each side.

The rebound knobs are the little screws poking out of the middle of the adjustment knobs with a slot for a flathead screwdriver.

You can see how many you have of each :D

No no no.

The rebound is the 4mm allen screws on the bottom of the qr20. The preload is the 5mm allen in the middle of the steerer tube. Back them all the way out and go for a ride. Then adjust accordingly.













.......what BV said.

That's what I thought.


Why Is there a rebound adjustment on both sides? Seems kinda odd...

They removed one side for '04 and newer forks. They realised it didn't really make sense to have duplicate cartidges. From what I understand though you can get a compression cartridge for one of the legs from Marzocchi which would be nice. What you should do is find someone with a Jr.T and swap them one of your HSCV cart's for one of the SSVF cart's and then have them give you some money.

Mmm....Compression....:drool:

That would make my fork a super 888 or an 888t

YAY!

A) Nobody understands what you say, since your posts are so incoherent

B) You're so full of misinformation (I'm not sure I can count the number of posts in these tech and mechanics forums that I've corrected), I'd be mildly suprised if anyone took you seriously anymore.

The 888s have ending stroke compression damping which is not what the cartridges you can get for your fork do........I'm pretty sure.

I think it's just a compression damper that affects the entire stroke. Maybe sean can correct me on that.

Yea, I kinda fiqured it wouldn't be EXACTLY like a 888, But as close as I could afford...

seriously, it cant be that many because i dont post a lot in here plus maybe i forget a point or two but thats why we have you.

and i could have said "oh wow, the preload is the black knob and the rebound is the screw in the middel of it. you should have one on each side since you have the 03."

but i didnt feel like it

Why Is there a rebound adjustment on both sides? Seems kinda odd...

The reason for the dual rebound cartridges, is so that huckers could over-load the rebound damping, so that when they land a drop all squirly, they wouldn't have the inconvienience, of the rebound shooting back up, and bucking them off the bike! They did the same thing w/the '01/'02 monsters, and I was pi$$ed, when I found-out, I didn't get COMP. on a $1000 fork('02 monster) :angry:
