Hi Chory1827, thanks for your message and support of our channel. Your question is really good and not many understand this reason. Fox has the same requirements for their forks with a Grip damper. The reason is oil ingestion into the damper as follows. On the air cartridge side the scraper wiper prevents most oil from being ingested into the air chamber and a little of the CGLP68 wont make a huge difference. However on the damper side the oil in the damper is the 01309-01 and any CGLP68 oil that becomes ingested into the damper will affect the damping qualities of the fork because the CGLP68 is very thick and sticky compared to the 01309-01. For the RXF38 ,m2 i recommend using the correct fluid for the damper and air sides as per the owners manual. However if you are not able to get the 01309-01 fluid you can substitute this for a 5wt oil from FUSCH or r.s.p. Keep in mind that just doing lower leg services is not good for the fork as if you are not servicing the air cartridge or the damper cartridge then you are not elimination contaminated fluid from the lower legs that has been ingested into these cartridges.

Hi Mustafae5442, thanks for your message and support of our channel. Apologies for the late reply, I was working at the Andorra Epic so just back in the office this week. Please send me a picture showing all the shims as well as the shim stack and how you have put these together and I will try to assist you remotely. please use [email protected]

@@RBC_tech ok, thanks..i will sent you today

@@RBC_tech Thank you for your help, I sent you an email.

Hi Marcins8810, thanks for your message and support of our channel. The lefty, if serviced correctly, should always have oil on the seal because the fork is upside down. However in my experience once the fork is washed and the oil is removed from the scraper seal (this is the seal lip you can see outside the seal) and the stanction then you have some stiction when the fork is used again. To understand this visualize the seal cut in half, there is a scraper seal lip that you can see then under that is another set of lips facing inwards that hold the oil inside the fork. When the fork has been washed the oil on the stanction is removed and its not easy to re-lube the scraper seal. from the internal seals. If you have ever used the windscreen wipers in you car when there is no rain, the rubber pulls on the glass and you can see its gripping the glass. this is what happens to the scraper seal after washing. So yes I highly recommend using r.s.p hyper wiper to recondition the stanction and lip seal after washing. I am not a fan of spray lube so close to the disk brake pads so be careful if you use any oil under pressure. Compress the fork a few times after lubing the stanction by the seal and then wipe off the excess oil. check the linkkzbin.info/www/bejne/mGLdq3p7dq6nhqs

Thanks Linds, I hope you have relocated well and are enjoying the summer. my email address is [email protected]

@@RBC_tech thanks! It's amazing and I got a bike now too! The trails here are insane!! 🚲🚵

Hi Robert, thanks for your message and support of our channel. Just to confirm, is the damper leaking? if not then I would not recommend opening the damper to replace the skirt seal. All that's needed is a flush out the old oil and fresh oil added to keep the damper smooth and in good working order. Also if you have the 2.1 RC2 damper then you should not need the lockout spring so if you buy the kit, the spring will not be needed. Thanks Robbie

@@RBC_tech Thanks for getting back to me; sorry yes dont need the spring. the issue is when the fork rebounds it makes a loud sucking sound. sram told me I need to replace the damper...

sorry and yes its leaking from the top on top of the adjuster knobs; if the skirt seal is the same size for the 2.1 rc2 then yes thats what i need !

Hi Robert, ok no problem, where are you based? Our minimum shipping cost for international orders is $38 so its costly just to ship the skirt seal. If there is a ND Tuned dealer close to you it would make sense for you to get from them. If not I am happy to assist you no problem.

@@RBC_tech ya that is a lot; is there a part number for the seal?

Hi Zane, thanks for your message and support of our channel. Yes you can just remove the damper without removing the lowers. Be aware that the lower nut on the damper has very thin threads and fits into the lowers with a taper so it can be difficult to remove without the specific tool. Don't forget to top up the lower leg oil with the R/S Maxima heavy lower leg oil.

@@RBC_tech Thank you!

Hi s.kolodzie6007, thanks for your message and support of our channel. Yes actually we were also very surprised at how much dirt and water can collect under the remote. To answer your questions, 1. since this is not a "serviceable part" we don't find any connection between the fork service and the dirt under this section other than riding in wet or dusty conditions. 2. Stick to the service recommendation from Rock Shock for your ZEB and make sure its done by a certified technician. 3. It seems that the XC charger damper with remote interface is most affected by the dirt getting in, not so much on the manual and so for never on the Charger for the ZEB so don't worry about this on your fork. Just ensure its cleaned with water with a mild bike wash using a soft cloth.

@@RBC_tech all right, thank you very much for your quick and detailed reply!

Hi yasstuto8483, thanks for your message and support of our channel. I am not sure I fully understand your question! do you mean that the lockout no longer works on the fork or that you and lost the interface for the damper?

Hi Spsoon, thanks for your message and support of our channel. Its possible to tune these shim stacks for sure but its very delicate so easy to destroy.

Hi cristianramirezargel8290 thanks for your message and support of out channel. So when you removed the damper there was a silver tube section roughly 8cm long that was still attached to the main air seal head, correct? if so this silver tube section belongs on the damper body and not connected to the main air seal head. This should be removed and refitted to the damper for it to pass through the 2 X ring seals at the top of the stanction. The damper needs this piece attached as its tapered at the bottom allowing it to pass through these seals. Trying to fit the damper without this part fitted will result in the X ring seals being cut.

@@RBC_tech Thank you very much for your reply. I will look for a way to separate the main air seal from the silver tube, I thought it was a single piece since I couldn't separate it by hand. Unfortunately I think I have already damaged the x seal of the air chamber, is it possible to replace that seal?

Hi VietRiders thanks for your message and support of our channel. Sorry to hear about this problem. My suggestion is to remove the gold rebound knob and use a flat screwdriver to slowly and gently try to turn the rebound shaft clockwise to loosen it.

@@RBC_tech That works, thank you so much <3

Hi D-arts7139, thanks for your message and support of our channel. Unfortunately when the stanctions are this bad its better to replace them, however we do repair scratches and rock strikes with a very effective product called SendHit - you can find it here www.sendhit.net/products/scratch-cover

Hi Thomas, thanks for your message and support of our channel. follow the link for a distributor in your location. www.rsp.at/en/distributors/

Hi Robertmccaled1400, thanks for your message. I don't think it would be possible to fit a air shaft into the coil fork due to the coil spring scoring the inside of the fork leg. Your option is to check if RST make an air upgrade cartridge for your fork which has its own air sleeve.

Okay what about steering tube and extension presses don’t have a press or tooling the power sports in town don’t have a clue servicing front forks

Thanks 👍

You are welcome!

@iceagle58, thanks for your message and support of our channel. So as I understand that air in the ramp up chamber is going directly to the main air chamber. When you did the service did you replace the quad seal on the ramp up chamber piston and have you remembered to refit the ramp up air piston and push it all the way to the top? My recommendation is to remove the air cartridge and check you have fitted the the ramp up piston. If you took off the main air piston when doing the service there is a O-ring under this so when it goes back remember to include this as well as the Loctite to ensure that piston does not come apart. I think that you have left some part out, please check your procedures and try again. Let me know how it goes.

Hi Jon,, Thanks for your message and support of our channel. In the video I used the 0W30 because at the time we did not have any of the CGLP 68 in stock. Since the colors are different between the 2 fluids I confirmed that it was 0W30 we used and not CGLP 68. Currently we use the CGLP 68 which Ohlins recommends however I have had great results from the 0W30 and continue to use this in other applications.

Hi Holger, thanks for your message and support of our channel. Sorry to hear that you have been having some bad experiences with these dampers but its great to hear the Rock Shox have replaced these under warranty regardless, that's great service! There is a bleed hole in the top of the dampers so you can refill the oil whenever you feel that the level has dropped inside the damper between services. Normal experience is a lockout that only operates after 1 to 2 cm of travel or a squelchy sound coming from the damper. This means its time to bleed the damper again. Its easy to bleed and like you brakes, if you keep it bled by toping it up from time to time then it will work really well for you. Keep in mind that the damper oil should be replaced completely when the fork is serviced as just topping up the oil as described above wont flush out any dirty oil. This should keep the damper running smooth for a long time.

@@RBC_tech Hi Rob, thanks for sharing your experience! May I ask you: Now the Race Day Damper 2 is new with 0km. But again there is not a clear lockout. Maybe again it is not bleeded correctly from the factory. What would you say: how far from the very end of the rotation there should be the best lockout? Yours Holger

Hi Horst, thanks for your message and support of our channel. The part you need is available as a kit called the Charger remote kit - spring and seal. This is available from us, please contact Cam on [email protected] for the details and costs to ship to you.

Wow, thank you!

Hi @kylehotchkiss7085 thanks for your message and support of our channel. We use the reverb bleed kit for this so if you have this it will be perfect. Good luck with the service, if you need any advise just let us know :-)

Hi @TheSpade83 thanks for your message and support of our channel. So far I have not had any issues with the rebound in all the Chargers we have done. How has your experience been with this issue?

@@RBC_tech unfortunaly I received a brand new unit to upgrade my yari and the rebound was locked up. The company I ordered from finally agreed to send another under warranty

You're welcome!

Hi @gezapuskas3282 thanks for your message and support of our channel. Good question, thanks for asking. The main reason is we go through so much 5wt and 10wt oil that it would not be economical to have this airfreighted to us from Austria. FUCHS is available directly from the supplier in our city so this makes it economical to keep using this supply.

Hi Leon, Thanks for your message and support of the channel. Yes its much cheaper from a postage point of view jus to send the damper. Please include the lockout or manual interface with the damper so we can check it before sending it back out. Its super easy to deal with us, follow the instructions on the link www.rbco.co.za/index.php?route=suspension/servicepricing - if you are outside of South Africa, I can arrange collection via DHL but I will be in contact with you to clarify this once i have the service details.
