  Product Description
2009 Fox Forx 32 F-series RLC Disc W/Cane Creek S-3

The ultimate Cross Country Fork, Fox’s new for 2009 completely redesigned F-Series. From the new chassis design with its ultra lightweight crown and tapered casting to the post mount disc brake tabs, they sacrifice none of the 32mm stanchion enhanced steering precision and highly evolved and patented damping performance that is synonymous with the Fox name. Available in Fox White and found atop the podium.

Fox’s patented RLC damper became the bicycle suspension performance standard soon after its introduction in 2001 and has been evolving ever since. It relies upon highly sophisticated multiple oil-flow circuits and shimmed damping control to deliver the goods, At the user end, new laser etched markings on the top cap adjustment cluster makes for easier on-the-fly use.

Fox’s engineers started with a clean slate for the new F-Series - from the new ultra lightweight and rigid crown to the lower leg design casting with its sexy tapered legs, new integrated and easier to install disc brake guide and lightweight post-mount disc brake tabs. They’ve shaved every gram out of these forks, while sacrificing none of the precision steering and high performance damping riders seek from Fox.

The new 32 F-Series Forged Crown is designed to be ultra lightweight and incredible rigid. The optimized form fitting design with lightening bores uses minimal material while offering the greatest strength to weight possible. All 80, 100, and 120mm forks have specific optimized steerer, crown, and uppertube combinations to provide the lightest fork.

Less is more. The NEW integrated disc brake cable guide is easier to install due to it’s simplified redesign.

The New 2009 Lockout Lever is redesigned for a more ergonomic and easier to reach feel.

Ultra-light and ultra rigid post mounts pass disc fatigue tests over 25 times higher than CEN/ISO standard.

Low-speed compression damping is adjusted with the blue bezel ring below the blue lockout lever, and has 8 clicks of adjustment. Compression damping controls the speed at which the fork compresses. Adjust low-speed compression with lockout disabled (lockout lever fully counterclockwise). As a starting point, turn the low-speed compression dial all the way counterclockwise (full out) until it stops, then turn clockwise (in) 5 clicks.

Even when your fork is fully locked out, there are instances when you still want your fork to absorb a hit. Fox forks use hydraulic lockout. This provides a more supple feel even when the fork is locked out. However, to protect your fork’s internal parts, your Fox fork will “blowoff” when it encounters an intense hit. You can adjust when the forks blows off – threshold – by adjusting the blue knob on the bottom of the right fork leg. A convenient tuning feature of the blowoff threshold knob is that it allows you to leave your fork in the locked out position – no more fiddling with fork controls when the trail requires your undivided attention. Although you might need to adjust the knob a few times to find the sweet spot, once it is found you can just leave your fork in the locked out position. Your fork will then respond to hits in the trail (above threshold), for example, but will be locked out (below threshold) when you are out of your seat on a climb. There are 12 clicks of adjustment. As a starting point, turn the knob all the way clockwise until it stops, then back off one click counterclockwise.

The blue compression lockout lever is located below the red rebound adjuster knob. It allows the rider to close the compression damping circuit in the fork. This keeps the fork at the top of its travel, making it harder to compress. Rotate the lever fully clockwise to lockout the fork. This position is useful in climbing and sprinting situations, but will sag with the rider’s weight. The fork will “blowoff” in the event that a big hit is encountered with the fork locked out. To unlock the fork, simply rotate the lever fully counterclockwise.

Air spring pressure is for setting sag. To get the best performance from your fork, it is necessary to set and adjust sag. (amount a shock or fork compresses with the rider sitting on the bike in a normal riding position. Best measured with an assistant holding your bike up and with the rider in full riding gear. On a fork, It is helpful to place a zip tie around one of the upper tubes.) Generally, sag should be set to 15-25% of total fork travel.

The rebound knob is located on the top of the right fork leg. Rebound controls the speed at which the fork extends after compressing. Turning the knob clockwise slows down rebound; turning the knob counterclockwise speeds up rebound. The 32 rebound knob has 12 clicks of adjustment. As a starting point, turn the rebound adjuster knob all the way clockwise (full in) until it stops, then turn counterclockwise (out) 6 clicks.

Cane Creek S-3 Headset

The S-3 headset uses the same design as the S-8, with only minimal concessions. The S-3 houses precision “bearing steel” cartridge bearings. The S-1 shares the overhanging cup/cover design of the S-8, which keeps contaminants from reaching the bearings. This overhanging “treacherous path” feature is repeated with the lower cup/crown race.

Weight: 112g

Size: 1 1/8" Threadless

  Product Questions & Answers

Question:
Is a Star Nut included with the Cane Creek S-3 Headset?

Answer:
Yes a Star Nut is included with the Cane Creek S-3 Headset.

Question:
What is meant by threaded, threadless, internal, and integrated headsets?

Answer:
-Threaded headset cups press directly into the frame. The fork used for threaded headsets is threaded, and a large nut installed on the steerer tube is used to preload the bearings .
-Threadless headset cups also mount directly into the frame, but a star-nut or similar compression device installed in the fork is used to preload the bearings.
-Internal headsets are functionally similar to threadless headsets. The main difference is that internal cups press almost completely into the frame. These are often preferred for their low stack height and clean look.
-Integrated headsets are becoming more and more popular. With integrated headsets, a bearing (usually a sealed cartridge unit) drops directly into the frame eliminating the need for cups. With integrated headsets, it is not necessary to press cups into your frame, but it is important that the headtube be professionally machined to the proper dimensions to ensure smooth operation.
