DH Team/DH Comp
The Giant DH series are downhill specific bicycles made for both the
recreational and competitive downhill riders. They are race proven machines
used on the World Championship MTB circuit. Please follow the guidelines
below to set up your Giant DH series bicycle.
Setup (See Drawing #14):
1) Set the pre-load on the rear shock so it compresses 18mm while the rider is
sitting on the bike (in riding gear). To measure the travel, you can position
the rubber top out bumper (C) on the shaft at the top of the shock to measure
the amount of compression/movement.
2) If the shock moves less than 18mm, reduce the pre-load on the spring by
turning the spring preload collar (E) counter-clockwise.
3) If the shock moves more than 18mm, increase the pre-load on coil spring by
turning the spring preload collar (E) clockwise.
4) If you need to turn the shock collar more than six turns from the zero
preload setting to achieve the proper amount of pre-load, you need a heavier
spring. See your Authorized Giant Dealer for the appropriate spring.
5) Tune rebound (G) and compression damping (H) to personal tastes(see
Shock Basics and Terminology).
6) If you have difficulty with set-up, please see your Authorized Giant Dealer.
