@pb8582 3 года назад

Always heard that LSC and HSC should be always fully open... One reason for it if you have your sag perfect with the air and the token you should not even have to twist that LSC or HSC... I'm confused cos I got a pike Ultimate and on big drop jump my fork feel great using all the travel but never bottom out! When I start twisting those HSC LSC I see absolutely no difference... So it's always open... Not really too geeky about it either

After not really been mtbiking much for almost 20 years, having been on the dark roadie side of cycling, I finally get my new Mountain Bike with a Fox fork to setup next week! I even got some baggy cloths, Flat pedals and knee pads to look the part (don’t want to be the Lycra guy😂). Thanks for the setup tips! Can’t wait!

@sambergstedt 3 года назад

Another great tutorial from Doddy. I also run minimal compression and add volume spacers as necessary. This makes it feel more connected to the ground and then still able to take a heavy impact when needed. Although I already understood this process, I still watched all of it just to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything. Keep the great tutorials coming!

At 6:15, you turned the fork compression counter clockwise but turned the red rebound knob below clockwise. Aren’t you supposed to turn both compression and rebound knobs counter clockwise? Thanks.

Great general setup video and thank you for also mentioning the GRIP and FIT versions - many tuning videos only seem to focus on the highest end model. One thing, however, you did not mention equalizing the negative air spring when changing out the volume spacers or if you should happen to let all of the air out of the fork.

Yoo, Dodson ma man. How 'bout you make a video on the different types of rear suspension and possibly get some of them bikes that are out there on the market with the more unique linkage designs, like Propain's or Evil's( off the top of my head). I really doubt your sponsors will allow you to showcase other brands but I'll suggest it anyway.

Did you mention the bleed valves on the back of the fork? I have just got some 36e forks for my cube and find all the tutorials brilliant. Keep up the good work 👍

@a8f235 3 месяца назад

I find it very weird that nobody are talking about preload. Given airpressure = springrate, that must mean that amount of air must equal preload. This means that tokens/volume spacers are your preload adjusters. It would be very good if they would just call them preload tokens which to me at least is a way better term.

Doddy, I’d love to see you review the MRP Ramp control for the Fox 36. I’ve been running mine for about 4 months now, and it was a game changer for me.

The most important setting is getting your sag right the rest is pretty much pointless until it’s sorted. If your an average rider the base tunes are solid enough

Is there a reason to not just leave the shock pump on while setting and checking and adjusting sag? Seems tedious to remove and install over and over.

Got the same forks but for 27.5. Used the recommended settings from fox with 2 extra volume tokens. Keep getting numb hands though (feels like major chatter from the trail) no matter what I adjust. I've got a shockwiz connected to help but still the same outcome.

@nosreuter 2 года назад

Question regarding rider weight: Setting SAG we are encouraged to do with all the gear on. Then when Doddy reads the chart on the fork to set the rebound and compression he refers to his own weight. I assume in supposed to interpret "rider weight" as fully geared up? With water, tools, protection and clothes accounted for I add about 6-7kg to my weight.

@jamesfriedrich4663 3 года назад

Great content Doddy! With all the secondhand 26" bikes on the market at the moment. Could you create some content on how capable you can make an oldish 26er with modern components. Maybe a mullet setup'650b fork and wheel' , 1 by, dropper post etc. To see if there is any hope of making a decent bike on a budget, and take it for a thrash in the woods. 🤞 you read this. Would love to see this content. Cheers dude.

@LukaStellwag 3 года назад

When setting up rebound, fully closed means the dial is set to 'fast' ?

@stepato 3 года назад

No. Fully closed means you’ve wound it in all the way tight and essentially closed the valve. All the way to the right (righty tighty) then count the clicks as you un wind it. If you get confused with dials at the bottom of the fork try turning the wheel until your tyre valve is at the top then unscrew and tighten the valve cap...

@lour3548 2 года назад

Every one of these shock setup videos is made confusing by the fact that "rebound" and "compression" are used to describe "rebound damping" and "compression damping." It is not helpful to say "if you are heavier, with more air volume in your spring, you will need more rebound." No. No. No. You will have more rebound from the stronger spring, therefore, you will need more rebound DAMPING. I'm not sure if the "gurus" doing these videos actually realize this or not. Perhaps, they are simply used to talking in abbreviated language. But, it is not helpful for people who need help with this stuff.

@Shralps 3 года назад

Best thing to do is set it up as recommended. Make a note of this then go out for a ride. Find a bit of trail that has easy access to the start again. Ride the trail then go back to the start. Adjust Rebound or compression (only do one at a time) by a couple clicks then ride the same bit of trail. Then ask yourself. Did it feel better or worse? If it felt worse go back to how it was, plus another couple clicks. If it felt better, go to the start of the trail again and add some more clicks. Keep repeating the process for all your settings. It takes some time to set up. But it's worth it.

It went together easily in less than an hour. ru-vid.comUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.
