im going to be coppying every single step youve done in this video because i have a rockshox recon silver rl solo air that have been riden almost everyday since 2021 with nothing such as a "service" to anything. so i hope it ends well, as i have watched this video couple times now and youre able to explain everything in such a good way that i will have you as my guide when doing the service, as its my first at 15 yrs old... anyways, you got yourself a new subscriber! thanks.

I’m from Canada and I do all my maintenance except for wheel alignment and suspensions. My wife’s bike has an SX drivetrain and I will put a X01 as soon as my new wheels arrive. The SX drivetrain is a joke, you don’t pay that much more for NX or even GX

I had to replace my Sram SX cassette and Sram Eagle chain because they were worn. I installed the new Sram SX cassette and Sram Eagle chain and now the bike is difficult to ride....my legs and knees hurt when riding. To me the bike does not perform the same as when I bought it brand new from the bike shop. My knees and legs did not hurt when riding. Jyst to ride my bike now I need to use a lot of energy just to pedal thr bikeWhat have I done wrong?

I would check the chain tension first. It may be cut too short. Also make sure the chain is seated properly with the narrow wide.

On the valves clogging, I noticed something in your video. Try to make a point of storing your bike with the valves at the bottom of the wheel (so they're pointing up) instead of at the top. This may sound counter-intuitive but if you think about it, this will allow the sealant to drain out instead of becoming trapped and hardening. Updating the damper to at least a Charger 2.1 on the fork would be an excellent upgrade and don't overlook a DVO Topaz when you're upgrading the shock.

@@iwantmymtb To be honest I just posted that to trigger Team Sram, but they are very good. I honestly don't think there's much difference for the average user from SLX up. Even the MT200s on my son's bike are fine for the average rider on even a decent trail. Sram is good too, the stop fine, but to me they always feel like they need to be bled.

@phonebem9 ай бұрын
@@ETSUalex 90% of performance complaints on SRAM brakes can be fixed by swapping their hot garbage OEM pads. Going to either Galfer or MTX improves initial bite while virtually eliminating heat fade (I've had mine literally smoking on 2000+ ft decents with no real difference in performance). Brake preference is very personal, just wanted to throw the recommendation out there for anyone as a cheaper, easier alternative to a brake swap.
