As a big boy 275 of love, I roll 50 on top, 180-190 on bottom. As a long time MTBer these chamber can leak air, but alot of folks forget that it looks like a leak when you re-connect the pump and it has to fill the empty air in the pump up until the gauge. It is enough to make it look like a leak. Love the vid.
Not sure if you guys gives a damn but if you are bored like me atm then you can watch pretty much all of the latest series on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my girlfriend during the lockdown :)
@Ray Amos yea, have been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :D
Hey George! Great video and thanks for doing this , it really helped.
I’m about 200 pounds and I like 40 up top and 100 on the bottom. The lower pressure is so much smoother and I would not have figured that out without you! Super helpful! Peace from nyc
🤘 glad it helped!!
Glad I watched.I was not releasing the pressure from the pump before removing it. I often heard a hissing sound on removing it. I thought it was coming from the system but might be just the pump's pressure.
Yeah could have been from the hose , but it could have also still engaged the valve if there was pressure in the hose so its hsrs to say. Best to just bleed it and confirm no hiss! Glad the video helped!
My guy George comes through again 💪🏼 thanks brother!
🤘
Nice, I just ordered the pump shown in your video. The one my v11 had included does not have that chamber to seal the air in when taking off the nozzle. Love the V11. Im 180lbs, To account for loss of air with the inmotion pump, bottom is 150 and top is 100 (hoping in theory it settled down to 130/ 75 psi accounting for air loss when taking of the inmotion pump). My tire is at 28psi, but just pumped it to 30 to see how that feels. I could lower the pressure a bit more to get a better cushioned ride without riding gear, but with riding gear on and 10-15 lbs in my back pack, the prssure i have seems to do the trick.
I gotta get more time on the v11, so far I've only rode it twice. Its way different coming from a kingsong 14D. I'm just on thr recommended settings currently. 50 up top and 120 on the bottom, could try a lil less maybe, it still feels a lil stiff coming down curbs.
Good experiment. Very interesting. Will try lower settings for a short ride.
Let me know how they feel for you!
Appreciate ya
Good info for my next wheel.
Not sure which of the 3 suspension EUC I'll get early next year, but if I go V11, I'll have some hints where I should be 👍🏾
I got my V11 a week ago and they do not supply that pump model anymore. It is now a black pump with no lock out to separate the Schrader valve from the tube. I am going to try your 90/30. Thanks again
👍
The new pump is still able to lock out the schrader valve, unscrew the back plastic part of the end while leaving the metal tip attached.
@@buckykat4242 Thanks for adding that in for anyone who has the new pump!!
@@buckykat4242 wow, thank you. I thought the pump was worthless because all the air was escaping when removing pump. I was going to buy the one in video. 👍
Hi George, used to live in southern NH, Down in southern Virginia now. I enjoy watching your videos. Relate a lot. I started this summer. Got a regular V10, range sucked. I should’ve bought a V10 F, ended up selling that and getting a V11. I don’t know why you use kilometers though, what the hell is a kilometer do you live in mass, LOL! Fly pads too locked in for me, I have some INMOTION v11 power pads on order for a while. Keep it up!
lol your right i should switch it to miles, thanks for watching!!
Hey I like the look of the little shoe holder things you have. Where'd you get them?
those where from hulaj market I believe
Great video. Now test tire pressure as well :)
Totally worthy of a video, amazing the differences the tire pressure can make
@@GoGeorge agree - went from 28 to 33 psi and it was a ton on difference - and from 130/60 to 110/50... but I need to do some more testing :) Great Content :)
@@vejby9621 thanks :) . Yeah i started at 30 and moved to 35 now
I bought the exact same type of pump with the locking lever but my top suspension won’t hold any pressure for some reason. The bottom holds pressure but trying to get 40 psi in the top isn’t working 🤷🏻♂️
hmmm, wonder if the seal is busted
Im 142 lbs and I use 90 lower and 40 upper with 30 in the tire. With that combination I get about 3cm of sag standing on the wheel. With 8.4cm of total travel, that's about 35% sag. Sag measurement is the most important thing, please mention it
What was the pressure suggested to you from the manual? You did not cover getting at the upper chamber. I found it very difficult to get the sides on and off. I managed to break one of the screws that hold the side panels in place.
oof, that stinks. I show how to remove the saddle in another video so i skipped over it on this one. probably should have included a reminder for people. Its just held on by 4 screws, the 2 on the side of the machine, and the 2 on either end of the top. the whole black piece slides right up and out once the screws are taken out. once pressures are adjusted, it should slide right back in place. if it doesnt fit quite right try switching the panels , you may have swapped them by accident after removing them

100 bottom 50 negative for me. Smooth like butter.
Nice!
Hey George,
I have a v11 and all of a sudden I'm losing air pressure in the suspension system. I believe it's the lower chamber but not exactly sure. Is this common for the v11? I have to fill it every time I ride. Any idea on how to fix my problem?

You may have blown the seal inside the shock. They are easily replaved though. I believe they cost about 60$ last time i saw on EUCO
For what it worth: There is a small golden tool that came with the wheel. It helps to tighten the valve core.
I realized that after changing my shocks. The stock ones weren’t actually leaking (just not tightened enough).
The suspension has a little play near the top. Is that normal for the v11. Or is there something loose that needs tighten back down
I have seen that vary unit to unit. I think its normal to prevent binding
At 160lb I ride at 75/50 (you guys have to mention your weight or there is no point telling us your pressure)
Lol very good point need weights to compare
George have a question about the pressure on the shock-I think mine is leaking because I have bottom down when filled a day before. Have you experience this?
No i had zero leak after 300+ km riding. I would contact them about potential warranty replacement parts if its leaking
I really hate the design of the top chamber. Those 4 saddle screws are making my head explode. I need to smoke like 20 Js
lol, personally i dont think its bad at all considering you dont really need to ever change it once dialed in. 1000+ km on mine and no leakage
yeah I totally agree, they should have some kind of easy access door.
I just bout 6” extenders and it works great...never have to take covers off!

@@paulh4866 oh dude that’s great thinking, I’m gonna get me some today. And also a better shock pump. Appreciate it!
For your weight (similar to mine) what do you recommend for riding on roads and asphalt bike paths? Mine should be arriving early next month!
You want to try it a little high to start i think, it will be easier ti learn to mount if its a little stiff. But once you get used to it, i really like 30 top 90 bottom for road riding, but if your going to pound offroad, i like 140 on the bottom
@@GoGeorge I finally got my V11 a few days ago and it has the new black pump. A video showing using that pump is czcams.com/video/cQgpQhzO3Vc/video.html So George, are you still using 30 top 90 bottom for road riding??? I initially set mine around 140 top/70 for my 203lb riding weight but not feeling as much cushioning as I was hoping.
@@silverwingshg yes close to that, i have beennusing 40 top and 90 bottom for smoothe pavement riding. 40 top and 140 bottom if im hitting curbs/steps/offroad

With all the kids that seem to pay you attention, think you can get your buds to swear less?
I know i struggle with the balance. Unfortunately to not allow the swearing eliminates 90% of the entertaining shots. I tried to keep it PG but i failed to grasp the essence of the rides and editing out the swears turns it into a choppy mess. Although according to my analytics from CZcams, its actually not really as much of an issue as you may think. 97% of my viewers are males age 25-50 . So i need to really cater to that audience. So im embracing the swearing a little bit but still will not include anything to vulgar as thats not what the channel is about
