Newbie question about function on the forks!

mympr02

Hi I've got a Carrera fury that has Rock Shox Tora 318 U-Turn fork, I am clueless about the functions on them and the purpose, obviously I know the dial with the padlock on it is for locking and unlocking the suspension, but what is the travel for?what is the difference between being set high or low? and there is a picture of a hare and a tortoise next to a metal dial at the bottom of the forks, what is this and what's it for?

Have you read the manual?

Manual is available online from Sram http://www.sram.com/en/service/rockshox ... ubcatID=10

If you bought the bike brand new it should have come with the manual

Bought it from Halfords in Dewsbury, did ask about a manual they said it was all self explanatory, I must just be thick! Cheers for the link!

nope they're just being useless, you should have got a manual if you asked them. I guess they couldn't be bothered to find one. Use a proper bike shop next time.

I have split the discussion into the sandbox so we can keep this thread about the forks.

Have a read of the manual, and if you get stuck post back and people can explain the features in more detail. Remember the fork you have is the Tora 318 Uturn coil with no poplock.
