Prodigy/Prodigy DX
The Giant Prodigy series is a simple yet effictive suspension system that is
equally at home on the road as well as on the bike trails. Please follow the
guidelines below to setup your Prodigy series bicycle.
Setup for Spring Shock (See Drawing #11):
1) The shock should be set to sag 10mm or 1/4 of its stroke while the rider is
seated on the bike in riding gear.
2) To measure the travel, you can position the rubber top out bumper (B) on
the shaft to the top of the shock (B1) to measure the amount of compression/
movement.
3) If the shock compresses less than 10mm. You need to reduce the pre-load on
the spring by turning the spring collar (C) counter-clockwise.
4) If the shock compresses more than 10mm, you need to increase the pre-load
on the spring by turning the spring collar (C) clockwise.
5) If you need to turn the spring collar more than 6 turns from zero preload
setting to achieve the proper pre-load, you need to get a heavier spring from
your Authorized Giant Dealer.
6) Tune rebound adjustment (A) to your personal tastes(see Shock Basics and
Terminology).
7) If you have difficulty tuning the shock, please see your Authorized Giant
Dealer.
