How to fix & repair your MTB Suspension / Forks...full overhaul! 

Use foil to sand down surface rust this works great it completely removes it

Thanks for the video bro. This is what RU-vid is for. 👍

Also bro, use wire wool and a metal polish called peek. Super cheap way to do the stansions with an incredible outcome 🤙 it’s thinner than autosol but thicker than braso 😂🤙

I've seen guys use scotch bright on hydraulic pistons that have pitting. Might want to try that instead of sand paper sometime. Like red scotch bright for auto body I think.

I’ve just got a project bike myself and I’m just learning thanks for the tips 👍😁

Fine steel wool does wonders for rust removal on forks w/o scratching the stanchions to buggery ;-)

Hi thanks for the video... I have a very old fork which came with a trek 4100 from 2001. The brand on the fork says InSync and the model is called Grind 320. InSync seems to not be around anymore but the company that I think used to make them now makes forks under the name of Spinner. And Spinner could not help me. In all the videos I have seen about taking apart basic forks the allen nuts near the wheel hubs at the bottom of the fork are long bolts. In my shock it is an allen nut which just screws off the thread. I cannot pull the fork off the stanchions. Is there anyway you could help me?

this is a lot of help keep up the good videos.

I love a no BS video on how to fix schit, and I love the sound of the girlfriends making lunch in the background......we must be at the same latitude...... me Perth Australia, ... you South Africa yes ??? Thanks brother 👍

Hey Julian, thanks for the video man. I am looking for the 3D printed tool for the fork. Do you sell it?

*Was a perfect mix of value **Latest.Bike** and functionality for my 17 year old. Priced better than Mongoose with same build quality of better.*

I found a mountain bike in a river bed and I want to restore it, everything’s full of sand so I’m gonna take it completely apart

Wow. Tomorrow i am gonna try this.

Yeah totally, fast forward the important bit and slow down where you point with fingers thats cool.... 👍

I have a zoom fork. I need to remove the blue switch for lock out. How to remove it I tried a flat screw driver but it seems it is deforming blue plastic. Is it mounts from inside?

Gawd dang i feel sorry for your hair leaving your head man , fuck thats my biggest fear 😬😪

Thank you man!

This is great! Thank you! Honest question for you or anybody else, is it worth it versus just taking it somewhere and paying?

bro my forks are shaking how do i fix this its the same as yours coil suntour

Nice one. Appreciate.

I just got an e bike. Shock forks, but they don't have the lock out option. Just shocks.... is this a type of Shock forks also? I've always had regular 1 piece forks as a bmxer, thanks for any info

Can you plz help my new cradiac alpha pro's zoom suspensions preload adjuster is loose and does not work ,it was working some week later but after i did some 2-3 turns it became loose and it does not do anything?

My cheap suntour was spitting out a bunch of water after a very wet ride. Now it wobbles alot when i hit the front brakes. What causes that? Is it stuffed?

Tks Julian. That head nut had me stumped, built in designed difficulty ,😅😅😅.

Thank you for this video. I have a Huffy Trailblazer full suspension mt bike that I'm trying to learn how to clean, fix & rebuild (after it was left outside all winter long through this most recent Idaho winter...has some rust, but someone told me it should clean up pretty well because it was only outside for one winter). But I'm trying to learn as much as I can about fixing & restoring bikes because I've loved bicycles my whole life & some of the older bikes out there still got some life left to 'em!

What happens if mine don't move at sll

I have a aostirmotor s07, got 3300 miles on it so far, the front end shakes when I take off my hands, used to ride with no hands! What is making it shake all of a sudden?

My stanchion is loose at the input shaft.

Thanks for instructional video. How long did that roughly take you to do?

i bro i am from bangladesh

Hi need help. The front suspension doesn't move at all. I think it's rusted. What to do

Hauck Meadows

my bottom bolt turns as well with therod wich makes itimpossible to open the forks. what do i do please help me

Thanks, I thought it was the same with motorcycles, no fork oils.

How do I fix this issue : When I lock y front brake up and rock my bike there’s movement in the silver hit of the suspension and the black but that’s connected to the the wheel there’s no headset play whatsoever

Could you use WD40

I rebuilt my forks because they needed a service. I did not lock off the damper side before stripping down. Now I can’t lock off the damper. The 4 mm inside and the 5 mm outside just spin round and round. Any advice? Or have I damaged the damper?

No issues with assembly for me ru-vid.comUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L but I could see where some might benefit from using an experienced bike assembler/mechanic. I'm an older rider starting back after a 10 year break. This bike exceeds my capabilities and has been easy to get comfortable riding. I'm mostly on easy trails with almost no street riding and have not been disappointed with the performance of the bike. My fitness level is far below what I previously rode with and because of that the mileage is going on the bike slowly. While I'm losing weight slowly, the bike seems to tolerate my 220 pounds just fine. The bike has been used by several family members ranging from 5'5" - 5'9".

Thanks for the video . Do you know where I can get the seals please and the link for the file to print the tool.

What do you do if you forget to lock it? What is the best way to put back?

Please make a vedio on how your removed the spring

Screwdriver and and a hammer says I can open em 😂🤙

I purchased a new Aventon Level E Bike in Mar 2022, it has the cheap zoom fork, after about 2 weeks the front fork makes a clunk sound when going over some bumps and it's pissing me off, it does not do this when it's locked out though, does anyone know what the issue is? Or even an upgrade fork the would fit this bike? Thanks John

Mine is completely stuck can i still do this

Hey Julian I have an old Manitou Mars Elite front suspension, its similar to the design of the shock you worked on here but has a dampening adjustment knob on the bottom of the right shock and some sort of adjustment knob on the top of the right side as well...neither of those seem to come off so I cant disassemble it to service....have you ever worked on one of these?

What do I do if the car on the top of the suspension is stuck

Thanks no hair Jack Black! 👍

My santour also is like that

THank you so much bro !

What is tool name

What type of grease was you using there

cheers

good video. too bad more more people are not into fixing things. If they where this would have more views.

my bike has cheap '100mm' travel fork but it barely travels half of that. Any way to make it travel more? at least 75mm

i took the cap off without the socket what do i do

Mine wouldn't come apart with the mallet. I saw another video that recommended loosening the bolts at the bottom and then tapping on those to loosen them up so the body of the shocks would come off. That did the trick for me. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eW2819rP9Tw.html

Looking DENSE!
