- How to setup a pair of Wren suspension forks. This video goes from unboxing to ready to ride. The fork is the Wren 110mm Fatbike version. You will see how to fit the fork and then set the air pressure.
Wren forks are available exclusively from Podium Sports in the UK www.podiumspor...

Thank you for watching.
That’s the FIRST time anyone has explained the ‘topping out’ and how to get the rebound correct 🙌 - brilliant! I just checked my bike and I was a couple of clicks out but sorted now. 👍👍
This was a definate 'oh I see' moment explains a few tweaks I need to do after riding out for the first time with Wrens, cheers Gra
Great Video super helpful!!!
Excellent guide, thank you!
The best video I have seen on installing and setting up the Wren fork. Thanks Graham!
Awesome how to video man. Very detailed and straight forward. Thank you!
Awesome video mate! Extremely helpful. Cheers
Great info! Thanks!
I like the design of the carbon clips that keep the guards in place. I honestly thought they were zip tied, and for forks that cost four hundred million quid that seemed a bit naff, but now I know.
thankfully they are only £699 now in the uk from www.podiumsports.uk/
Hey Graham, many thanks for your clear explainations
One question : as soon as I put some air on the bottom, I loose almost all my sag? It was properly set with air only on the top
Do I need not to put any air to get sag, or is it required to put at least 10 psi on the bottom anyway
Great tutorial! Do the chambers lose pressure like bike tires? Do they need consistent pressure top offs? Or are they nearly maintenance free once set up as you've demonstrated?
they don't leak, but like anything its worth getting forks serviced once a year, which also means re-pressurising the air
What would be the most comfortable setting on a gravel road? Would it make sense to put all of the pressure in the top tube and none in the bottom for the most comfortable ride on a gravel bike?
What size of wheel/tire is he running on this bike? Did he mention it?

Is there a way to install front fender to the Wren fork.
Yes on the crown
Reference rebound: You used the term, "topping out" but did not really explain how you know what "topping out is" and what it sounds like or feels like. How do know when it is "topping out". What are the indicators?
If you compress the fork then lift the fork off the ground it will return quickly and reach its full tavel, if it returns to quickly and you feel a knock, or here a sound like a clonk then this is topping out. A fork needs to return with control by the damper avoiding the fork topping out. I hope this is helpful.
Axal to crank adjust spacers. What are they for? at 37 seconds into your video. Can you explain their use.
the distance from the axle to the crown can be adjusted internally with spacers supplied, this means to can adjust the fork to fit a taller tyre. I've never done it but its a handy thing to be able to do. A 27x.45 tyre would hit the crown as they come new. You would need to adjust. I know...I need to do a video on this

@@GrahamFootBicycleLover Thanks for the reply.
Just got a wren ...I weigh 285 lbs...would you still start at 50 psi on the top?
Hi, you can put slightly more but you will need to set the sag anyway, so soon as you get on the bike as I described you will know what pressure to go up to due to the fork going through its travel. 50psi is just a guide to start from as below that the fork doesn't fully extend.
How did you get on with the fork setup?
@@GrahamFootBicycleLover Hello from Montana USA ! Have to be honest…I totally forgot how much more pressure I put in (happens when your 67). But, it seemed to be just fine. However, yesterday I rode the bike for the first time this year (I used the WREN on my mountain bike …not my fat-tire winter bike). So, I’m gonna take a look at the pressure today. I’m not sure if the fork loses pressure over time or not. I’ll let ya know.
@@102Montana Cool, be interested to know, also glad you get to ride. I'm 68 so I know where your at.
Is their boost spacers on these forks? I am looking at the strait steerer model and can’t find if their is boost would be great if their isn’t?
Hi, you can get a fork to fit 4 hub widths, the forks in the video are for fat bikes, 150mm. if you are looking for a 100mm (Non Boost) fork then you can buy them.
@@GrahamFootBicycleLover Is that what 100mm means no boost then 110mm is the one with boost?
@waldowsxxghostxx8577 yes..100 is non boost. 110 boost
