1.1 Disc brakes

Disc brakes with 203 mm rotors may be used on FORMULA THIRTYFIVE forks. Do not use rotors

larger than 203 mm. Install disc brakes and torque all fasteners according to manufacturer’s

specifications. Install, route and check that all cables or hydraulic hoses are securely fastened to

the lower leg and will not move during compression of the fork.

WARNING: Tighten the brake calipers to the brake manufacturer’s torque spec-

ifications.

1.2 Wheels

Consult the technical specifications provided by the wheel manufacturer to install and secure the

wheels to the forks.

1.3 Lubricants

Only use hydraulic oil, lubricant and grease included in the kit sold by FORMULA.

CAUTION: Do not use lubricants other than those recommended above. Use of

other lubricants may damage the fork and make it unsafe.

Threadlocker for screws

Apply a liberal mount (where indicated) of medium strength threadlocker all the way around

the thread. After applying, clean any excess threadlocker with a cloth. Let dry at least 24 hours

before installing.

WARNING: The threadlocker used for assembly is dangerous to skin and eyes.

Consult and adhere to the warnings on the threadlocker container before use.

Our kit include:

Hydraulic Oil Idemitsu OJ01 and Lubricating Oil Ballistol.

For the cartridge use only hydraulic oil Idemitsu OJ01. For the air spring chamber use a mix

composed by 50 % of Idemitsu OJ01 and 50% by Ballistol. For the legs lubrication, use a mix

composed by 50 % of Idemitsu OJ01 and 50% by Ballistol.

2 INSTALLATION

WARNING: Installation of THIRTYFIVE suspension forks requires specific knowl-

edge, equipment and expertise. General mechanical skills are not sufficient to

correctly install the THIRTYFIVE suspension forks.

Formula strongly recommends that a qualified service center authorized by FORMULA

install the fork on your bicycle. Improperly installed forks can cause damage to the

THIRTYFIVE suspension and serious injury or death.

-Formuladoesnotauthorizetheendusertoinstalltheforkonthebike.

WARNING: Failure to follow these guide-

lines may result in serious injury or death.

2.1 Installing the hose clamp

-Securethediscbrakehosetotheforkwithclamp(8).

-Loosenthescrew(9)andmovetheclampoverthehose

(8).

-Insertthehoseinsidethehoseclamp(8).

-Tightento2/3Nm.

3 USE

GENERAL SAFETY NOTE: Do not keep the

fork fully at the end of the race for a period

exceeding 10 days.

If that happens you can verify that the hy

draulic system is not working properly.

3.1 Suspension Adjustments

-Usethereboundadjuster(10)toadjusthowquicklythe

fork returns to its extended position after being com-

pressed.

-Correctlysettingthereboundspeedallowsthebicycle

to properly track the terrain.

- Rebound that is set too fast will cause the fork to feel springy and uncontrolled and exhibit

excessive return speed

- Rebound that is set too slow will not allow the fork to extend quickly enough to prepare for the

next bump.

-Turningtheadjuster(10)clockwise(towardthe+sign)addshydraulicdampingandslowsthe

rebound speed.

-Turningtheadjuster(10)counter-clockwise(towardthe-sign)removeshydraulicdampingand

speeds up the fork rebound speed.

3.2 Adjusting hydraulic compression

Lever(11)isusedtograduallyadjusthydrauliccompres-

sion.

-Lever(25)canbeusedtoopenorclosethefastener.

-Adjuster(30)istoadjustthelockoutthresholdwhenit’s

in the closed setting.

WARNING: NEVER use lever (25) in the closed position when riding downhill

since the hydraulic suspension will not work in the proper way in case of obsta-

cles and this may lead to loss of control of the bike and to serious accidents or death.

3.3 Adjusting the air pressure

-Use a high pressure pneumatic shock pump (12) to

change the pressure in the THIRTYTREE.

-Removethevalvecap(13).

-Connecttheend(14)ofthepumptoforkvalve(15)so

thatpressuregauge(16)willreadthepressure.

CAUTION: Do not over tighten the pump (14)

as the seal will be damaged.

WARNING: The maximum allowable pres-

sure is 125psi.

-If there is no pressure in the fork, the pressure gauge

(16)willnotreadavalue.

-Compress the pump (12) a few times to increase the

pressure. The pressure should increase slowly.

-If the pressure rapidly increases, make sure the pump is

properlyconnectedtothevalve(15).

-The pressure can be reduced by pressing the black relief

valve(17)onthepump(12).

-Pressthereliefvalvehalfwaytosteadilyreleasepressure.
