9.2.9.4 Excessively hard damping on bumps
When the bike hits a bump, the damper deflects
too slowly and the rear wheel lifts up from the
bump. Traction is reduced (blue line).
Saddle and pedelec rider are deflected upwards
and forwards, the rear wheel loses contact with
the ground and control is reduced (green line).

Solution
Turn compression lever anti-clockwise.
The damping and compression hardness is
reduced and the deflection stroke speed is
increased. Sensitivity to small bumps is
increased.
