    Best vid I've seen so far for someone like me who's setting up a full sus bike for the first time. Just wanted to know what a good base setting looked like and this nails it.

  • @feeedbaack
    @feeedbaack Před 4 lety +8

    These videos are outstanding. I had a few 'aha' moments that helped demystify suspension setup. This is the first time someone has stressed how important it is to have the front shock rebounding at the same time or first to keep you from going over the bars!

  • @Sloberdog
    @Sloberdog Před 6 lety +66

    This is by far the clearest and simplest tutorial in correctly adjusting your suspension. Highly recommend to viewing it and doing it. So far....it improved the ride of our MTBs dramatically....The bikes have never felt or ridden better than they have in the last 2 days than all the other 50+ days. Plan on spending more like 30 minutes per bike and 60 minutes if you need to remove fork or shock tokens per your tutorial outcomes. Excellent work Bike Radar!

      Al Castill what fork do you currently have? Air is worth it but a nice coil could still make a difference.

    • @archetypex65
      @archetypex65 Před 4 lety

      Actually it's not but you are comments don't surprise me 🙄

    • @archetypex65
      @archetypex65 Před 4 lety

      @Al Castill high-end coil shocks are as good and even better than any air shock on the market depending on the brand and model. Anybody who tells you otherwise is either a shill, a sponsored Rider or somebody who doesn't know their ass from their elbow when it comes to the physics of telescopic Fork suspension. There are several good coil Fork manufacturers that provide MTB Forks. Plan on spending $1,000 or more. Öhlins, Cane Creek, DT Swiss & Push ( both actually utilize both a coil and air) 👍

    @martinwebb3394 Před 4 lety

    Great video - very simple and well explained - I wish I'd seen this years ago instead of just following the random "seems to bounce about right" approach I've been using for so long. Off to sort out my new Giant Trance suspension now - thanks guys

  • @christopherwong8500
    @christopherwong8500 Před 5 lety +6

    Thanks so much! This is the first suspension setup video I've come across that doesn't basically say "Set sag at 30% and ride it and tweak it based on how it feels". So simple to follow and I feel like it's a really good starting point!

    Ive been riding 30 years, 20 of those on FS. First bike being Giant NRS. I have never heard suspension adjust explained so clearly. I whipped out an old bike that has been adjusted to my optimum after years of riding and it was pretty much spot on to your recommendation you achieve in 10 min. Great job

  • @megalep7025
    @megalep7025 Před 3 lety

  • @mbiservicedirectperformanc5840

    Thank you!!! This is a great video making it simple even for the most novice like me. I recently had my suspension serviced and I made the mistake of setting the bike settings exactly the same way without running this set up procedure. Unfortunately my rear suspension was rebounding too fast, caused me to go over the bars and fractured my wrist. I would love to see a video on rear suspension set ups when you have a shock with multiple setting like the cane creek.

  • @anthonycongiano8890
    @anthonycongiano8890 Před 2 lety

    This is an extraordinarily well done video! I've never seen anyone, ever, explain the details of rebound as you did. All I've ever heard is "adjust the rebound until it feels right"... what the heck does that mean? You gave simple details on a full suspension set up... well done bro!

    @runstokesrun Před 6 lety +6

    Great video, I would also like to know more about low speed compressions adjustments as some others have stated as well but this video is very concise, the best I have watched on suspension set up!

    • @Krikstar123
      @Krikstar123 Před 6 lety +1

      For the front I do this: Find a place with a lot of small/sharp berms. Set it at the lowest/least amount of compression. You will feel like you are blowing through your front suspension and losing stability out of the berm. Add more compression until it not blowing through and start riding smoothly and stable through the berms. You don't want too much compression as it will make your suspension feel harsh. Just enough to give you that stability, so it doesn't blow through it all and becomes unstable :-)
