This is the first online guide I've seen so far that demonstrates removal of that stupid rebound adjustment dust cap. I just got a 36 and I had no idea how to remove that thing, and the manual doesn't say. Thank you!
Thanks for the video mate, did my lowers and cleaned the shit ton of grease out of my air spring. WHAT A DIFFERENCE. its night and day. before i had literally no small bump now it feels so supple. I did notice my air spring shaft felt a little notchy when compressed fast which was weird, noticing it when compressing my forks to. Thanks again
Yep .... makes a massive difference.... glad I was able to help 👍 I haven't experienced the Notchy feeling when compressed fast ? not sure what is ....
Great video mate! I got my LBS to install my new air spring and something went wrong when they were doing it. Couldn’t use full travel and air wasn’t sealing. They reckon the air spring was damage and the seals stuffed. Watching your video I can’t see how they can really stuff this up. Next time I will do it myself
@@Warby0 now it’s sorted I’m going for a run later today. Still running the loan X2 rear shock. But I’ll mount my push 11-6 back on post service over weekend and test. The push coil is unreal with respect to traction and stability in gnar
Hi Mate, I’ve just grabbed some cheap new 38 Rythem’s for my Trance eMTB. The Trance is 140rear 150front do you think the 38’s @ 170 would be ok or I’d be better to drop them to 160. Cheers, great vid
Do you have to take apart the damper side as well why can't you just replace the airespring if you're increasing the travel or not to bother with the other side?
I’ve seen videos where people use 20ml of fox 20wt oil instead of grease internal to the air damper. This stops the equalisation port becoming blocked and causing excess grease to pooling in the bottom of the damper causing poor small bump response. What’s your thoughts on this?
Im confused, i dont think it was explained... how did u change the travel? I have 170 and I want to lower it to 160. Help pls. Is it all about changing the shaft? Or can I make mine 160 without changing the shaft. Thats all And thanks!
Hi there. When i knocked out the air spring, the travel shaft fully compressed, as if one chamber fully decompressed and created a vacuum. Any tips on how to resolve this?
Did you equalise the air spring when letting all the air out ? Cycling the air spring should fix the issue. When you take apart / clean the air spring will also fix the issue.
Question, i've bought Fox 38 Factory 27.5 with FIT4 damper. The fork has 170mm of travel and i would like to swap the damper to grip2. It's a 820-18-336-KIT and it says 180mm travel. Is that going to fit for my 170mm fork?
Fox 38 Grip 2 - Air-Side of the fork = FOX 20wt. Gold - 20cc - All 38mm Grip and Grip2 Damper-Side Bath - FOX 5wt. Teflon Infused - 40cc - Not sure where you are getting the 15cc from ?? unless you have a FIT4 Damper.
Good morning from England. Can you change it to 150mm aswell as I can't find any info on it anywhere. You can buy 150mm air shaft but a friend told me it wasn't a straight forward swap like 160mm and upwards. Any info would be 👍 👌
Thanks for the video!! When I removed my air spring I noticed that there was negative pressure just in the spring itself. Like, I can pull the inner small shaft and it will come out about 5mm or so, and when I let go it’ll go back 5mm or so back. Is this normal?
Ha ha yep, some are challenging….. the fox air spring tool helps a lot when they are stuck… & the transfer port is full with grease. hopefully your forks are feeling mint now !! 🎉
