Outstanding video. I have experience with building car shocks, and seeing that this shock is easy to tune makes me happy about getting one. Thanks for the two great videos on the tuning of this shock.
excellent brakedown! however i think you confused rebound and compression stacks in the end. (it would make more sense from counting the holes as you have 0 1 2 as the compression adjustment and 0 1 2 3 4 5 for the rebound)
Hey do you work in the medical field, like surgery? I'm only asking because I see the blue bowl that comes in the packs and I see the blue wrap on your table that is used to wrap instrument sets. Great upload by the way
@ Cameron.... Changing air volume adjusts spring rate... Here is a link that explains it..www.pinkbike.com/news/tech-tuesday-How-to-Install-a-Fox-Air-Volume-Spacer-2011.html
Hey, quick question about the shock. I'm looking at buying a bike with this shock on it and want to know if it has lockout for climbing? For some reason I can't seem to find an answer on Rockshox's website or on forums. Just a bad search day I guess. Apologies for a none-maintenence question.
Using the rebound knob limits the flow of oil thru the valves... pack is controlled by the compression shim stack and the type of oil you use... you can use different shims on the rebound stack to control rebound range..
You should feel detents....not sure if it will make a sound.... Check above your rebound knob... There should be a set screw which holds a small spring aand ball to give the detent "feel".
How come you didn't just add one or two RockShox bottomless tokens (air volume spacers / progression spacers) to the air spring, this will stop your shock packing under high loads because towards the end of the stroke, it gets progressively harder.
Bottomless tokens just make it harder to bottom out, the oil damping is what's preventing the shock from effectively moving through its travel at speed.
@@jrsandiego I'm thinking maybe removing the shim wasn't the optimum solution. Perhaps replacing it with a thinner shim would deliver a better result. Did you experiment further?
