AC/All Conditions
The Giant AC bike is positioned between the NRS superlight cross country bike
and our heavy duty World Champion DH Team bike in performance
characteristics. The AC bike is capable of climbing and decending the most
technical of trails. With three travel settings for the rear suspension, you are sure
to find a setting that suits your riding style. Please follow the guidelines below in
setting up and maintaining your Giant AC bike.
Setup for AC1 & AC2 (See Drawing #3):
1) Set the pre-load on the rear shock so it compresses 12mm while the rider is
sitting on the bike (in riding gear). To measure the travel, position the rubber
top out bumper (C) on the shaft of the shock to measure the amount of
compression/movement.
2) If the shock moves less than 12mm, reduce the pre-load on the spring by
turning the spring preload collar (E) counter-clockwise.
3) If the shock moves more than 12mm, 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.
