Compression damping of shock absorber (XC-W, EXC)
The compression damping (during compression) can be adjusted for the XC-W

The degree of damping can be adjusted by turning adjusting screw [2] with
a screwdriver. Turning in a clockwise direction will increase the damping, turn-
ing in a counterclockwise direction will decrease the damping.
STANDARD ADJUSTMENT:
Turn the adjusting screw clockwise to the stop.
Then turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise, counting the number of
clicks that corresponds to the respective type of shock absorber.
