Step 2: Loosen Allen Bolt

Insert a 5mm allen wrench into your fork leg. You can use a long allen wrench or a socket wrench with an extension and 5mm allen bit. Turn the allen bolts counter clockwise and remove the lower legs until the are complete disconnected from the upper fork.

Step 3: Remove your lower legs

Pull the lower leg out. It's best to leave the allen bolt in the lower leg so that you do not need to re-insert it when you re-assemble the fork. If your allen bolt does fall out of the leg, be sure that you put the silver washer back onto allen bolt before you put on the rubber bumper and re-install onto the leg. If you have a Pimp 60 fork, the washer and bumper will remain in the lower leg and you will need to carefully re-insert the allen bolt through the washer and bumper as you put it into the lower leg.

Step 4: Remove springs

Carefully flip your bike over so that the springs and spring endcaps fall out of the forks.

Step 5: Cut the rubber tubing

Remove the rubber tubing from the springs. Measure off about 10mm (3/8") and cut it from the end. This will reduce the compression and soften the first bit of the travel to make the fork more 'active'.

Step 6: Remove Spring Endcaps

You can also remove the spring endcaps to further soften the fork. You may want to try this and if the fork is too soft, put them back in.

Step 7: Re-install legs

Insert the springs into the upper forks (and endcaps if you are keeping them in). Slide the leg in slowly. You will feel resistance right at the beginning. Just jiggle and rock the leg. You wil feel it slip down when works through the o-ring. Don't force it or it will break the o-ring.

If the leg didn't drop all the way down, it might be stuck on the spring. You may need to jiggle and rock the leg to get it past the spring as well. You will feel it drop all the way in with a clunk and it should look fully inserted.

Step 8: Tighten the allen bolts

Slide your long allen wrench or socket into the lower leg. You will need to push down very hard as you turn clockwise. Once you feel the allen bolt thread in, turn it 7 or 8 times so that it is fully engaged. Don't tighten the bolt all the way down or you will just be tighten down the spring.

Step 9: Re-install your wheel

Put your wheel back onto your fork and tighten down your axle. If the axle doesn't want to thread into the other dropout then it may not be lined up. You may need to loosen or tighten the fork allen bolt on that side to raise or lower it until it is even with the axle. If the lower legs are lined up, the axle should thread in easily.

Step 10: Center your wheel

Check that your wheel is centered. If it is not, flip your bike over and tighten the allen bolt on the side your wheel is closer to. This should pull the wheel to the center of the fork. Your now ready to ride. If the fork feels too soft, you can put the spring endcaps back in. If it still feels too stiff, cut off a little more of the rubber tubing.
