the first, I would venture is a travel adjustment, so go from say 100 to 130mm?
the second means one side of the fork is air and the other has a spring?

reboud, is how fast the fork comes back from being compressed. and the knob is for adjusting that speed.

I would save your money and get something nicer. What kind of bike/frame do you have and what kind of riding do you do?
