Im gonna be honest the fox recommendations are really good for a start point to work off of if you do more normal trail riding keep the pressure and maybe go a bit faster in rebound and if you’re hitting big jumps slow the rebound down a bit but the pressure is usually pretty ok but if you’re riding and see you aren’t using full travel or are using too much pump it up or let some air out The fox recommendations are pretty great for casual riders but its a good starting point if you want to adjust the bike to yourself
Also you don’t want it to be lose either cause the last thing you want it your rear shock to go missing while you’re bombing down a double black tech trail lol 😂
Agreed. I’ve never gone over rollers and thought “i need to be using full suspension travel to get the most out of my setup” its easy to find the sweet spot and it usually leaves you with a little “contingency plan” for bottoming out.
with that last one, what if your fork's rebound is still too fast? With my rockshox revelation, its still too fast for my liking in the rock gardens and on steep lips. Any way to upgrade the damper?
None of the springers do pecause it's pointless, it would be pretty annoyng to move by hand between the coil's slots. You just have to know by feel how much travel you use (wich isn't that easy to say the least)
My friend had a Kona when we were younger and I swear he would always be bottoming out his back suspension going over the tiniest things, it never made sense to me
I have a friend who had the rear suspension with too soft of a spring and the shock adjusted low. One day he made a jump larger than he expected and blew up the rear triangle because he bottomed out so hard it literally broke the frame. The suspension was fine somehow and he didn't even fall off the bike so he was fine
I feel like "fork too stiff" has a place. I'm on a short travel bike and I rarely get full travel out of the fork, but the feel is balanced which I think is important... that said I would love a more supple fork, I just get bucked like crazy when I soften it up. 120/140 is a trap.
Me riding a stoic 3 with a lyric 170mm....i have no i idea about half of it 🤣 Yeah i ride fullys but im more of a hardtail Fan for basicly everething ...only tec DH there it has to be a fully for me 🤣
If that's how you like it then keep on shredding! But it might be worth checking if you can take out a volume spacer. It won't affect the initial part of your stroke but will let you use more travel on those big impacts so you can use all of your travel!
I Only Do Intermediate Stuff Although I Ride Fast Motorcycles So Fast Is No Stranger . I like to keep the Last 20percent For Emergencies . Your Fork Works Best 20 to 80 Percent Travel . I Just Got A Pike 150RC For My Rocky Last Nite 😎 GoodTimes
I hate bicycles with suspension as I currently own one with just a front fork that has suspension. Every time I try to put power down into my pedals and into the chain, the torque ends up diverting to the suspension get dissipated. It's annoying as hell.
I can't get my rear shock yo stop bottoming out even when I only hit a small drop or jump and the seals and everything are perfect still just can't get it right
That is something you need to determine yourself because there are too many things that can affect rebound. You should try to avoid having it too high on jumps in order to not get thrown off the bike after a heavyer landing. If you are unsure search a good jump and set it to a fairly slow setting. If you think the suspension comes back too slow after the landing, increase the rebound speed. It's nice to have numbers, but it's better to make the most off of experience both or your own confort and ease of use. If you don't do large jumps you can get away with having a faster rebound, but if you find yourself in the wrong situation it can still be dangerous.
Yo Lost boys. I’m 135 lbsand ride a bike with a 140mm marzocchi z2. With the correct sag, I found my self bottoming out too much on larger hits so I added 2 spacers. Now I only bottom out on really big hits but I also feel like my fork is too stiff on the top end. What can I do?
I love when the rebound launches me 10 feet over the landing.
I have my rebound always as fast as possible
Same bro
Thank you for the rebound demonstration, held a lot 🙏

Also make sure the mounting hardware is tight! You don't want to learn the hard way haha

@@ThatAverageMTBer 😂yeah we definitely don't want that to happen
It's not really a red flag but you have to set your settings, most of these are adjustable.
Poor Maxxis😢
Rip Balls 😂
One thing tho quick rebound is very useful
Dont want the bumps to outpace your rebound, or you'll run out of shocks pretty fast
What for? Getting bucked?
Is it actually bad, if you don't bottom out? I thought it was bad, so i got my suspension more stiff (normal bike, wish i had an enduro )
Don’t you know? Fast rebound let’s you bunny hop higher.
Rebound to fast is scary af
You shouldn't change your suspension set up for the trail. Its should be the same all the time. So not using all your suspension is fine.

Modern suspension: let's give a million clicks! [Knowing full well you only need 3]
Wenn du nochmal "Der Kilogramm" sagst, krieg ich nen anfall 🥲🫠
How do you fix the fork being too stiff? My Trek mountain bike has the fork that is way too stuff and I can barely feel it
Well, I don't have an o-ring in my rear suspension.
None of the springers do pecause it's pointless, it would be pretty annoyng to move by hand between the coil's slots. You just have to know by feel how much travel you use (wich isn't that easy to say the least)
That’s what she said
So....SNL didn't workout for you?
Never had a MTB before so I have no idea what this is about 😂
That X2 is a red flag.
Now with a coil suspension
Fast rebound is good
Didn’t know he was gonna go full Jon Batiste on my bike😅
fox X2 is definitely a red flag since it breaks down on everyone all the time
Thanks ,and now I know the nice set-up for my bike,thanks a lot,this fix my problem with the crashes.Now I can crash when I want 😎
Today is Sunday then Monday then Tuesday comes the last part of my mtb bike project been waiting so long and it's the same fox x2 185mm
Crazy 10 second video that taught me just about everything that I wanted to know about setting up the suspension on a MTB, well done!
how much psi yall runnin front an dback for big jumps? i need some recommendations coz fox settings is to soft
I read someone tried their recommendation but then added 5psi
My friend had a Kona when we were younger and I swear he would always be bottoming out his back suspension going over the tiniest things, it never made sense to me
Small bump compliance bro!! XD

@@Ferrari255GTO Dang that is brutal, was he able to get it fixed? That sounds kinda costly tbh.
i love fast rebound

that means ur whole bike needs to be softer

my fork only goes down 2-3 cm at most its so incredibly stiff
My ebike almost threw me off
I have a coilover fork and I am to light to compress it what am I supposed to do
I like to use most of my travel but still have some for those moments I make a mistake. That little reserve has saved my bacon many a time.
Save the LAST 15/20 %
I dont even have suspension is that a red flag?💀
I don't know if my fork is too stiff but i put it to 65
Me with zoom 🤣🤣🤣
Aliexpress gang
Yeah, if you set your suspension so that you can enjoy full travel every ride, isn’t gonna end up well
So my stone age schwinn is just a bunch on red flags
Bike name?
Sir i have jekyll 3 2015 model it is that rear compatible of my bicycle sir
Funny stiff fork suspension go boing
Rebound can never be too fast
Scratches 😢
I dont know whats the problem with a stif fork i love it stifer to get more feedback from the bike
That's why i now ride bmx
I need to make my fork stiff, anyone know how I can do that
You guys think i could fit a coil shock on a yt capra core 3
Bmxers with no suspension
I Choose Not Too Bottom Out

Love the bike, DEVINCI FANBOY HERE
Me too! Glad to see Mike still riding the Devinci 😎 I love my 2021 Troy!
Bro fast rebound is the best. Fast rebound=higher jumps.
I ride without any oil in the dampers for the fastest rebound possible!

Just like a supercross seat bounce👍👍

Welcome to Reddit.
I hate bicycles with suspension as I currently own one with just a front fork that has suspension.
Every time I try to put power down into my pedals and into the chain, the torque ends up diverting to the suspension get dissipated. It's annoying as hell.
I love my rebounds fast. Sure I might loose some control but it makes riding so much more fun.
How is it not using full travel if it’s bottoming out? I don’t know the terms
it is full travel if its bottoming out
@@AC-mu6ig perhaps he misspoke
I want to too😁😁
I can't get my rear shock yo stop bottoming out even when I only hit a small drop or jump and the seals and everything are perfect still just can't get it right
You might need more air in the shock. If you give our service department a call, they can help you out.

If you have a coiled rear shock you could also need a heavyer spring
My fox suspension is set up for my weight and I still always bottom it out on like 3ft jumps??
Try more volume spacers or it could be down to technique anf how youre landing
@@chadb2077 I put some volume spacers in and a bit more pressure much better now
@@adammoffett6935 nice good to hear
The rebound had me dead
An X2 that still has a Sag ring? lol that’s not real
Ay yo sus😂

@@Ferrari255GTO Thank you so much for the explanation, I appreciate it
@@Midmedia555 no problem
👍😂
😂😂
Lol buddy you weigh 120lbs soaking wet you don’t need full travel. Maybe 3 inches.
The personification of cringe
Ngl a bouncy bike seems like a thrill ride
Forget bunny hops just pogo over everything
bro destroyed his entire generation
get a dirt bike geek
Ok brb
