1 B I K E SIZING AND BASE TUNE
To get the best start on your Aurum HSP choose the correct frame size based on your height.
Each size comes with an appropriate spring and tune as outlined in the chart below.
To maximize the bike’s performance and handling, you may need to change your spring and/or tune dependent on your weight and body type.

3 Tighten the drive side of the axle to manufacturer torque spec. Repeat step 2
4 Tighten the non-drive side of the axle to manufacturer torque spec. Repeat step 2
5 Before moving on to tightening the lower crown bolts, you will have to
set the height of the stanchion in the lower crowns first. See fork height
measurements in above chart for guidelines. Fork height measures the
distance from the top of the upper tube to the top of the lower crown.
This distance must be 164mm (±2mm).
6 Tigthen the lower crown bolts to specified torque follow this tightening
pattern: Top bolt on spring leg, top bolt on opposite leg, then lower bolt
on spring leg followed by lower bolt on opposite leg. Move along in this
sequence in small increments, until all bolts are tightened to
manufacturer torque.
7 At this point you may alter the preload on your headset bearings by
tightening or loosening your top cap, as necessary.
8 Tighten both top crown stanchion bolts to manufacturer torque spec. Pick
a side, tighten the crown bolt lightly, then move over to the other side and
tighten crown bolt lightly. Go back and forth until both bolts are tightened to
manufacturer torque spec.
9 Tighten the bolt at the top crown and steer tube junction to manufacturer
torque spec.
10 T ighten the stem bolts to stem manufacturer torque spec.

NOTES 1 Damper settings are measured in number of clicks out = number of clicks counter-clockwise
starting from all the way clockwise.
2 E nsure shock tunes are appropriate for the spring rate you use:
300-400 springs = MM tune 450-600 springs = HM tune 650 spring = HH tune
3 Consult your SRAM service center for altering shock tune.
4 For HSP 2, follow the fork pressure / volume / rebound settings and rear shock settings above.
