WARNING Danger from falls and accidents
If work is not carried out professionally on your bike, this may endanger its safety and result in dangerous
situations during riding, as well as falls and accidents.
• You should only carry out the adjustment work described.
• Make these adjustments only if you have the necessary tools and manual skills.
• Under no circumstances should you carry out any other adjustments.
NOTE:
In the following sections the adjustments for the standard equipment of all GHOST bikes are described. Some sec-
tions only apply if your bike has the listed equipment. This can be found in section 4, Design and Function. If you
have any questions, please contact your specialist bicycle dealer. He or she will be pleased to advise you.
8.1 Adjusting the saddle height
WARNING Danger from falls and accidents
With children, and particularly those who do not yet have a complete command of bike riding, adjustment
of the saddle too high can lead to dangerous riding situations, falls, accidents and material damage.
• Adjust the saddle height such that the child can touch the ground with both feet when sitting on the sad-
dle.
NOTE:
A description of how to operate the saddle post clamping can be found in sections 8.6.3, Opening and closing the
quick-release axle on the saddle post clamping and 8.6.5, Opening and closing the screw-nut clamping on saddle
posts.
1. Loosen the clamping of the saddle post.
2. Move the saddle with saddle post to the desired position.
3. Clamp the saddle post securely in position.
8.2 Adjusting the spring fork
8.2.1 Forks with air suspension
8.2.1.1 Adjusting the air pressure
NOTE:
Your suspension fork has air suspension. You can adjust the springing behaviour by means of the air pressure. For
the adjustment you need a special suspension fork pump. The use of other pumps may damage your suspension
fork.
• You can purchase a suspension fork pump that is suitable for your bike from your bicycle dealer. If you do
not have such a pump, have your suspension adjusted by your specialist dealer.
1. The correct air pressure for your total weight can be found either on the imprint on your fork, the en-
closed user information or by contacting your dealer.
2. Screw the head of the suspension fork pump on to the connection of your suspension fork. Position of
the connection: See the user information of the suspension fork manufacturer.
3. Continue pumping until you have reached the prescribed air pressure.
4. Unscrew the pump head.
NOTE:
Unscrew the pump head quickly in order to keep the amount of air escaping (which can be heard as hissing)
as small as possible.
