im going to be coppying every single step youve done in this video because i have a rockshox recon silver rl solo air that have been riden almost everyday since 2021 with nothing such as a "service" to anything. so i hope it ends well, as i have watched this video couple times now and youre able to explain everything in such a good way that i will have you as my guide when doing the service, as its my first at 15 yrs old... anyways, you got yourself a new subscriber! thanks.
Yeah... might be a good time lol. But realistically, these forks are bulletproof. I've had my lyrik for 3 years and got it serviced recently. It wasn't even in that bad of shape!
I’m from Canada and I do all my maintenance except for wheel alignment and suspensions. My wife’s bike has an SX drivetrain and I will put a X01 as soon as my new wheels arrive. The SX drivetrain is a joke, you don’t pay that much more for NX or even GX
I had to replace my Sram SX cassette and Sram Eagle chain because they were worn. I installed the new Sram SX cassette and Sram Eagle chain and now the bike is difficult to ride....my legs and knees hurt when riding. To me the bike does not perform the same as when I bought it brand new from the bike shop. My knees and legs did not hurt when riding. Jyst to ride my bike now I need to use a lot of energy just to pedal thr bikeWhat have I done wrong?
Thanks great help - had same difficult bolt on truvativ cranks set. used your box trick and 1m steel pipe - heard the release ping and thought I snapped the hex but no just loosened off the bolt - nice!!!😅
I got sticker from EBay and were fast in delivery! The rock show sticker l chose supposed to of been oil-slick metallic , but when l got them, they were not metallic and were not oil slick!! To be honest! I probably could have got the metallic material and printed it myself on a home printer!
hello, my cassette is moving kinda sideways. What's makes the cassette moving this way? I used spacers but I not screwd it on 50 Nm, it's more like 20. do you think this is the problem?
I’m back at mtb after 12 years of road cycling and man standards have changed ! But finally thanks to this video I now know that the free hub I need for my 1x12 11-52 sram nx cassette is an HG one ! I’m gonna get rid of oem crap wheels specialized uses 😡. Cheers from Italy man !
On the valves clogging, I noticed something in your video. Try to make a point of storing your bike with the valves at the bottom of the wheel (so they're pointing up) instead of at the top. This may sound counter-intuitive but if you think about it, this will allow the sealant to drain out instead of becoming trapped and hardening. Updating the damper to at least a Charger 2.1 on the fork would be an excellent upgrade and don't overlook a DVO Topaz when you're upgrading the shock.
@@iwantmymtb To be honest I just posted that to trigger Team Sram, but they are very good. I honestly don't think there's much difference for the average user from SLX up. Even the MT200s on my son's bike are fine for the average rider on even a decent trail. Sram is good too, the stop fine, but to me they always feel like they need to be bled.
Ps ,,for the ppl watching ,,i mean why using a sticker with a rock shock name on it ,,,i mean u can use anything any word ,,ur name for example or just the word f### or anything,,,common guys be creative ,,hope all the best for you ,,baruga☠️
@@iwantmymtb have you ever tried a 4 piston Shimano like a Shimano XT or Shimano Zee? Their braking power is significantly more and they don’t fade on long descents 👌if ever you decide to switch brakes, maybe try them
@@ETSUalex 90% of performance complaints on SRAM brakes can be fixed by swapping their hot garbage OEM pads. Going to either Galfer or MTX improves initial bite while virtually eliminating heat fade (I've had mine literally smoking on 2000+ ft decents with no real difference in performance). Brake preference is very personal, just wanted to throw the recommendation out there for anyone as a cheaper, easier alternative to a brake swap.
@@phonebeminteresting. The gold Avid Pads are better Then every Pad from galfer. And i use galfer still in my saint but what U saxing makes No Sense. SRAM brakes are Just Not IT.
Just climb up from Laurel run. Turn left at the falls and stay left until the intersection with Indian pipes. Then we just turned around and held on tight lol
Silk Graphics are an absolute must. Once you get a set you’ll order another dozen for every frame, suspension, and wheel sets. It’s kind of addictive, especially since I have 6 MTB’s.
