hey, this is probably a really stupid question, but how do I make my front suspension tighter?

what kind of suspension do you have? you have to increase the air pressure...i know for my fork there's a special pump you use...

it has these 2 little knobs above the suspension. someone told me if you twist them they make the suspension stiffness change. It doesnt seem to work though...

yea it all depends on what fork u have.....some forks dont have the option to make it stiffer, if u do...then use the lockout knob...the farther u turn it the tighter it will become until it locks out

go look at the fork and tell us what it says. ex. it could be fox, marzacchio (or somehting like that), rox shox, manitou....those are just some off the top of my head..once you find out the brand name look and see if it says the model anywhere..
that sucks you dont have the user manual haha
