TIRE CLEARANCE TEST
If a fender or mud guard is to be used, it should be installed while performing the
tire clearance test.
1. Release all air pressure from the fork by depressing the Schrader valve.
FOX forks may contain high air pressures. Release ALL air pressure from the
main air chamber before disassembly. Failure to do so may result in parts or
fluids ejecting from the fork, which can cause SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
2. Compress the fork completely.
3. Measure the distance from the edges of the inflated tire to the fender/mud guard,
crown, fork brace, and steerer. There must be AT LEAST 8.5 mm of clearance around
the entire tire.
Failure to leave at least 8.5 mm of clearance between the edges of the inflated
tire and the fender/mud guard, crown, fork brace, and steerer may cause the
tire to jam against the crown when the fork is fully compressed, which can
result in SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
4. Add air pressure to your desired setting using a FOX high-pressure pump. Set the sag
according to instructions online at www.ridefox.com.
5. You must repeat this test EVERY time you change tires or rims.
WARNING
Do not exceed maximum air pressure:
36 FLOAT and Rhythm maximum air
pressure is 120 psi.
Minimum air pressure is:
40 psi for all 36 FLOAT and Rhythm
forks.
Pressure measured at an ambient
temperature of 70-75˚F. Normal
operating temperature range for FOX
products is 20-140˚F.
