Hands down the best explanation of volume spacers I've seen yet. Great job!

@johnsplendido3556 3 года назад

It seems like a lot of suspension setup videos have come out recently. I watch 2 today. One very good. One was useless. This was the very good one. Great job explaining it.

@t.o.f.t.s. 3 года назад

You wouldn't be biased in anyway now would you😁. But I agree, a nicely done video. Simple and to the point👍

@L4J20 3 года назад

I’ve never seen a Fox volume spacer replaced in real time...seems pretty easy 👍👍

@kumagka1599 3 года назад

I like how you handle everything! You’re a pro!👌🏼

@mossy.trails5289 3 года назад

Thanks, nice video. Helpful to hear the difference between adding volume spacers and adding air to the shock.

@DaBinChe Год назад

As a light weight rider (145lbs. riding weight) I remove all volume spacers and preload to 20%, used to use 30%, almost no high speed compression or just barely, slow speed compression is around half give or take a few clicks. I like my air springs to feel like coil springs, plush and linear, ground hugging, grippy and tracks, not poppy or jibby.

@darylstafford3859 3 года назад

That was super helpful 😊 Thanks for the video! I just got my Ripley and am trying to dial in my settings. I really appreciate your videos. You are inspiring.

@colindixon9543 3 года назад

Well that looks easy , I will give it a go on the Jeffsy. Thanks for the explanation 👍

@mikeowen000 8 месяцев назад

Great technical tips here on the process of adding a spacer. Thanks!

@wattermelon1510 2 года назад

Good vid. That shock pump is sick.

@thefontzchannel 3 года назад

Last month I bought a Specialized epic evo. I'm loving the versatility and speed it carries. Loving the videos too!

@daverotors 3 года назад

Thanks a lot for the video! I always thought messing with spacers was some super advanced stuff! Was astonished you could do it without even removing the shock from the bike! Might play with the setup as well now I know how to do it, as I'm a bit above the average rider weight-wise :-D

@patchesthejaybird8431 3 года назад

Great video! I have an older single pivot bike, it needs a more progressive shock to avoid bottoming as well. This video shows how easy it is to add progression using tokens these days. Nice to know.

@brianwitter3271 3 года назад

Just got my Ripmo AF, had to order it back in Oct. without so much as a parking lot spin. Watching tons of videos from fine youtubers like you made it a bit easier to pull the trigger. Now I'll be putting on frame protection, installing my Ergon saddle and grips, OneUp Switch oval chain ring and Bashguide, Awareness Bell, and XT shifter. Then the wait for the snow to go away. Great explanation of volume spacers!

@Anah12 2 года назад

I watch a several videos about volume spacers and yours is the only one that makes sense. The rest are way too techy for what I needed to know. Thank you!

@geoffsimons1235 3 года назад

Good explanation, and my primary bike is a honzo esd, after watching All four of Steve’s reviews 👍

@harveyboome5652 2 года назад

Very informative very informative great job I have a fox that needs to be overhauled I'm having the same problem good job nice and I didn't know that you have to put a little bit of air and then press down on the seat in order to get it through the chambers I didn't know that thanks a lot

@markymarkpowpow 3 года назад

2016 intense Tracer 275 placed tokens in rock shox pike fork - so progressive - you provided a really good explanation

@michael48742 3 года назад

New ripley af. My first full suspension bike I've owned. I'm still going to watch hardtail party and love your channel as well. I just ordered volume spacers this morning and really enjoyed this video.

@conlyal 3 года назад

New rider here. 2021 is my first year. Starting off with a 2021 Trek Roscoe 8. Thanks for all these awesome videos Tess :) You're the reason I'm trying something completely out of my comfort zone. I'm a very timid rider, and heard you say you were too in an earlier video. Been watching your videos ever since. Thanks for making a difference 🙂

@James-qq2vq 3 года назад

Glad this was the first video I watched on this subject no need to look any further thank you!

@drsethcohen 3 года назад

Definitely one of your best non-riding videos yet. Makes me want to add spacers.

@rucksackstosingletracks2628 3 года назад

I just bought an ibis ripley! My first 29er. Stoked for the snow to melt around here so I can ride. My husband has been encouraging me to make the move to bigger wheels and I finally did it.

@javierbecerra7461 3 года назад

Great explanation! I noticed last year in my cannondale trigger my shock would bottom out most rides I might try to adjust it before the good weather comes here in SLC

@ridedirtymtb9938 Год назад

Volume spacers are magic❤

@jeremymcbride8729 3 года назад

My 2021 bike is a Scott Spark 950 and it’s great. Suspension tuning is something I need to get my head around. Great video btw and I hope your shock issues are sorted Tess.

@mittenmod 3 года назад

Solid video! Much needed info on the different spacers. I definitely need to put one in my DPX2.

@mittenmod 3 года назад

@@dustybettymtb Thanks!

@davidmain8696 2 года назад

Nice job. Added one just now and my ride feels less harsh. Bike park tomorrow for first time. Hard to get all the air out (Boom!) I had a hard time with the negative pressure and cycling it out. It took a bit more hand strength than I anticipated. But all good.

@gwenramage8419 3 года назад

I bought a ShockWiz to help me tinker, and it's been fun playing with the DPX2 on my yeti SB130! I still bottom it out every ride, even with the 0.6in light blue spacer... So I'm gonna try the next size up tonight. I've been craving more adjustability, and soon I might upgrade to an Öhlins TTXAir that'll net me more supportive traction with less pressure necessary in the shock (for better small bump sensitivity.) Thanks for inspiring me to get off my computer and play with my bike~💜

@CHIEFSFAN1969 9 месяцев назад

Fantastic! Thank you!

@patchesthejaybird8431 3 года назад

My main ride this summer will be the Hardtail I built last year. This year I plan to add the dropper post I really needed last summer. I would also like to upgrade my full suspension from a 2x9 drive train to a 1x11, and maybe add a dropper as well, but probably not this year as my bike budget is slim.

@RIZABUV87 3 года назад

Lot's of great information. I'm just now understanding shock adjustments... 3 years later, ha ha ha.

@gabriellevine8717 3 года назад

This is very helpful. Got a Ripley about five weeks ago. My first full suspension bike. That said, I'm still playing around with a number of things, including the suspension. I'm 5'9"; so, I got a medium, but I'm also 177lbs. So, the light tune that it came with feels kinda harsh. Thinking I might give the larger volume spacer a try. Thanks.

@baggageincluded6744 3 года назад

Just got my Fezarri Delano Peak yesterday.

@benc.8103 3 года назад

Nice job. I’m thinking of picking up the Transition Spur for 2021 . I just have to sell an extra body part to pay for it. 😬

@kimbramsen6611 3 года назад

Thank you I never knew it was that easy. Going off curves and just doing the neighborhood riding and playing around I use up almost all of my travel. But when I mountain bike are useless maybe I’m just not writing hard enough mountain biking do use more of it

@kimbramsen6611 3 года назад

Thank you sorry I was voice texting. Maybe I just do not ride hard enough mountain biking to use all of my suspension but in the neighborhood I do lol

@drworm7432 3 года назад

Ibis Mojo 4 :) Love the Ripley though, maybe one day .....

@chumpmtb2554 3 года назад

I tried this for the 1st time a few months ago. Didn't cycle the shock while letting the air out and locked the negative air in. The shock sucked up into itself. I didn't have the guts to pop the canister myself so I made the bike shop do it 😆

@Mr.3collarbones 3 года назад

Hi Betty, thanks for the volume spacer video. What size is your frame bag? I look online there’s different sizes. My Ripley is a size medium what’s your size suggestion on the bag.

@cesarayala8665 7 месяцев назад

Nice vid. Tank you. Did the orange spacer work fine for you? Or did you change it for the red one? I am also a really light rider and currently using the orange one with ok results in a short travel MTB, but I am considering getting the red one and trying it.

@Drogos79 3 года назад

high speed compression. On bigger hits and or jumps, how does it behave in "trail" and locked position? Will it still allow full travel and will open valves fully?

@erikharrington3514 3 года назад

Main bike for 2021 is my Cannondale Flash 29 2011. Demoed a Ripley and loved it but this family man (3 little kids) needs to be happy with the ride he has even though he doesn’t mtn bike race anymore. My big upgrade may be the fattest tires I can wedge in the frame. I would love suggestions to for making this bike less race like and more comfy!

@erikharrington3514 3 года назад

@@dustybettymtb yeah, I watched HTP’s $300 bike challenge...I’m glad that I’m not quite to that point, lol. I still have a blast on my canny but this mid-life dad back yearns for a plush full sus!

@maximls8121 3 года назад

Changed my the volume spacers on my Stumpjumper today, but the shock just had a lot of resistance when sliding it open, it was pushing back all the time so i had a really hard time accessing the spacer. Does somebody know why that happend ?

@neuregel Год назад

is there a follow up video?

@googlepixel9pro 2 года назад

Great video! How do know what reducer your shock has without taking it apart.

@dustybettymtb 2 года назад

Some bike makers might list it but I think you'll probably still have to open it and see what's going on. Thankfully it's pretty easy. When I get a new bike, I usually Open up the fork and shock to see what's going on with volume spacers.

@Dante-hd8kn Год назад

What do you have your Rebound set at

@stephanemartin4733 3 года назад

My main bike will be a custom made titanium full rigid.

@Dempsey222 Год назад

Can you put multiple volume spacers in shock or only one spacer?

@dustybettymtb Год назад

In a fork, you stack them like tokens, but I think that most of the shocks I know of, you can only run one, so you just have to find the right size for what you need.
