- Attention: Near the end of the video, when installing the nuts back onto the lower legs, I mentioned 6nm for both nuts. TECHNICALLY, Fox's recommendation is 5.7nm for the air-side nut (which I do mention in the video) and 9nm for the damper-side nut, which I forgot to mention. I purposely torque both nuts to 6nm. This is a personal choice, but I should have mentioned the 9m for the damper side nut in the video
This is a VERY detailed step by step full service guide video for a 2021 FOX Factory Series 34 Float FIT4 Fork.
This is a long video, but it goes into FULLY servicing the compression stack, which I consider an optional service,
As always, If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments section below, and I will answer them the first chance I get.

The most detailed video on the planet
man, did I feel guilty when I was editing this one. During recording I realized that this was going to be a long one. but during editing I was like "holy S#$T this might be to long" and tried shortening it best I could. I was really thinking of splitting it into two videos. lowers/air spring video (part 1) and then a FULL damper service video (Part 2). but felt that it might break the flow, especially for people doing these jobs their first time. let me know your thoughts
These are probably the best bike service tutorials on youtube, thanks for posting 🙏
Not probably, this is the best channel for bike wrenches, and this comes from someone who didn't know what a torque wrench was a year ago to now servicing my shocks, forks, and dropper post , thanks to this guy 👍
Yeah, they are the best, as he actually shares some trips,, tricks, and gotchas, which you won't find in the manuals. Although long, if you want to do the work yourself, watch them.
Thank you very for such a gracious comment and i'm super glad to hear that you find the videos helpful. More videos are on their way 👍
@@ghostdog6471 "now servicing my shocks, forks, and dropper post" This right here makes it ALL worth it for me. Good on you for undertaking the jobs myman! 👏👏 I promise you that after the first time, they only feel easier. 👍
@@bicifix Thanks the support myman. Really glad to hear you find the videos helpful. More videos to come👍
I have just recently been able to open a bicycle shop, and was thinking of buying a TV, just for putting your videos on autoplay :) Well done otra vez!
🙂That's an awesome comment myman. I'm glad to hear that you find the videos informative. All I hope is for people to gain the confidence to help themselves, and then help others in order to help keep this wonderful sport alive 👍
An other very detailled video. Loved it. Just for your info, the torque spec for the 15mm bottom nut is 9Nm. 5.7Nm is the torque for the 10mm nuts. Thanks for putting those videos together, I am sure they help a lot of home mechanics out there.
Yup! Good catch. I should have at least mentioned 9nm for the 15mm but. I torque both to 6nm, as it feels more comfortable to me, but I need to do a better job mentioning why I sometimes don't follow the actual specs. At a minimum, I should remember to mention the stock specs. I'll make sure to add this to the description. Thanks
Thanks so much what a great technician and teacher you are U explained things so well and how the various parts of fork work really interesting please do more videos on servicing bike things you are the true master 🚲
Thank you very much for the kind words and it makes me very happy to hear that the videos are of some informational use for you. Personally, I consider myself an enthusiast at most. Ultimately, if I can help others as I've helped those directly me around me have a better overall experience with this sport than its all worth it! thanks for the comment 👍
had been waiting for this! thx bro
Apologies for the late response, but hopefully this video helps you with the process. if there are any questions let me know
Gracias bro tus vídeos me ayudan mucho
Me alegra mucho saber que los vídeos te resultan útiles. Muchas gracias por tomarse el tiempo de verlos. Si tienes alguna pregunta, házmelo saber y haré todo lo posible para responderla. 👍
Great video! What can cause the open adjust dial to get stuck and what would be the solution?
I'm assuming you mean the compression dials (dials on top of damper). which one is sticking, high speed compression or low speed?
@@zoubtube The one for low speed compression, with "Open Mode Adjust" written on it. It got stuck in the open position. Minute 12 on the video.
Should you put air first before you insert it to the lower legs?
Good question. Technically, it is not needed, but it's good practice to put a bit, for example, 15-20 psi, just in case you press the shaft by mistake, which might create negative pressure. Thanks for the comment
Is this gonna work for 2017 fit4 factory
Apologies for the late response. For the most part, yes, though there will be slight differences. There are a couple of extra o'rings in the compression stack in your year damper that won't be seen in this video. BUT! If you're not experiencing issues with your compression stack and if there is no need to change the bladder, then you can skip these two sections, which I state as "optional" in the video, and the rest will be basically the same. Hopefully, this helps. The plan is to make videos of all the years and models over time. Your year is a common fork around here. I'm sure I will release a video on it sooner than later
hi!.where did you learn to do all this things?
I've been wrenching on stuff since I was a kid. My dad was a mechanic and planted the seed. Though I've never been a mechanic by profession, I've ALWAYS had a major passion for tearing things apart and reassembling them, at any scale. I've helped people with bike service in my area for many years. I've found that most people are intimidated by servicing certain bike parts. My goal is to help as many people as possible break through this wall of intimidation so they can better enjoy this sport without having to keep breaking the bank to do so! 👍
@zoubtube thanks for answering. I am also pasionated about this stuff. Anyway, are you now running a business with this?
@@denisszerban Nope! I've had a high stress type job for a very long time. working on stuff like this is literally therapy for me, as is biking, scuba diving, skiing etc. I forget about the world when doing it👍
