Correct, the ++ chamber must always be inflated first, also in ERA V2 fork!

My shock pump that came with the Aria exploded when filling the ++ chamber 🤬

@OldSnake47 from what I've experienced, anytime you have a suspension component with two positive chambers, be it fork or shock; you always inflate the secondary additional positive chamber first. I had an Öhlins RXF36 EVO fork on my last bike, a 2017 Transition Patrol, and they recommended the same order of operations. Whenever I wanted to tune the spring rate I would fully deflate all chambers. Then attach my hose to the valve at the bottom of the right side fork lower. They recommend this for several reasons but from what I gather the most important reason is that if you and play the main positive chamber first you will lose some of the stroke and won't get the full amount of travel out of fork.

I also have the same thing. As far as I understand this is normal. Look at my shorts, there is a knock, is that what you mean?

What bike are you running your EXT E-STORIA on?

@@SDmountainbiker Canfield Balance

I run it on my norco sight

Just ordered one for my Kenevo FF. Hope it lives up to its reputation! From what I've read, frame design on Kenevo eats coil shocks for breakfast! Have you had any issues on your Kenevo SL?

I also think🤔

era usd will be probably launched autumn 2023

@@RoughRiderz no I've ordered a fox X2.

Yes

@@Pens4Life85 yes! 140 on the hardtail and now 170 on the big bike too - soooo good! V1 for me, for now...

@@Pens4Life85 no CSU issues at all! Not a creak in earshot 🙌 I can honestly say I haven't heard of a single unhappy customer so can't explain the reduction in value other than it's a very niche product in a niche industry and therefore resale is fairly low due to being kinda specialist interest? The only complaint that I've heard is that they can't set it up properly, honestly. That does take a bit of fiddling to get it the way you want, but once done, it's easy to achieve again and is very tunable. I think the V2 upgrades fix the axle coming loose sometimes with a punch bolt but otherwise nothing negative about v1.

it's magnesium ;)

you can't develop it all at once. but that would be sweet to have full EXT fork range.

but it's small manufacture.If they produce that much of suspension, there could be sometimes things like in rs - no oil or grease in dust wipers. I mean, if they still keep this level, ther suspension would cost wayyy more due to expand of brand. and about oem. you can buy oem nicolai with ext ;)

They only has one fork at $1600. How do you expect them to conquer rs and fox’s market?

@@youling1997 not too far off 38s actually and way more boutique

@@fafinnnou can buy Nicolai with an EXT or Intend or Fox... And i would love to try an EXT or a Intend cause i relativ believe, that they rare more about customers than other's especially if there are real problems

Stiffness comparison would be super interesting

The forks have 36mm

@@gabrielchassan8833 but are these as stiff as rs and fox?

check out the vorsprung suspension videos on stiffness (1 of the best suspension tuning engineers in the MTB market worldwide). Stiffness these days comes down to headtube > crown construction much more so than stanchion diameter. This is the only single crown fork with a reinforced structure in this critical area. It might very, very well be stiffer than the 38 and zebb in real life.

@@gabrielchassan8833 zeb and fox are 38 but era 36 although it's stiffer cuz of special crown design.

Hi Rusty, the preload is about 1mm.

Can you make a specific video on setting the pre-load. Since this is very important would be nice to have something. What does 1mm constitute, 1/4 turn, 1/2 turn of the ring?

@@modepp5811 1mm preload is 1 turn of the thread.

@@ExtremeShox Is the 1mm of preload measured from where the preload collar first contacts the spring? Or is it measured from where the preload collar is tight enough to eliminate play in the spring?

@@ChrisJohnson-ze5nm it's measured from the first contact of the preload collar with the spring

Remove the spring and feel for an increase in pressure on the last part of the stroke

😂
