I just pulled off my 2023 super deluxe ultimate coil, after 18 months and thousands of miles. Was deciding on rebuilding it, or buying the upgrade kit to vivid. Any chance you’re making a video on that? Think it’s worth the $200 to upgrade? I feel like it probably is worthy. Thx for posting.

@ButterSuspension 14 күн бұрын
Well, you'll have to rebuild the shock to install the upgrade, so that's the best time to do it. Just know you won't get the hydraulic bottom out feature, only HSC and LSC.

How much of difference will a bike make in terms of riding and frame strength if we increase the travel from 170 to 190
@ButterSuspension
@ButterSuspension 2 ай бұрын
Changing travel on a frame doesn't change the strength...but changing from a 170 travel frame to a 190 travel frame it really depends on who makes the frame.

This is great. Question - if I'm just trying to swap the shaft/eyelet assembly, is it possible to remove the shaft and refill the oil without doing a full disassembly of the damper body? Basically reverse what you did up until about min 9:00? Or does the damper need to be refilled with oil through the piggyback and IFP?
@ButterSuspension
@ButterSuspension 2 ай бұрын
No, the shaft has the main piston/shim stack attached to the damper shaft behind the main seal head; the only way to swap the shaft is to disassemble the whole assembly, so that requires most of a rebuild.

I still have mine (not in use). I was running it in 99/2000 when forks had gotten a lot better and 6" had become the norm. Mine has a non adjustable damper and I upgraded the elastomers to spring. The only two small positives to these was the look and the fact you could reduce travel using elastomers to 5" or 4" fairly easily. Probably great in Californian sun but horrendous on British courses, they needing stripping after every race.

Props to Jose! Excellent camera work! Thanks on the refresher.. been a while since I took an old Z fork apart.. got a Jr. T on the operating table and man, do I hate pulling oil seals.. Your tire lever+screwdriver trick (out of Pedro's fresh shoehorns) is working very well.. key is to exert great force slowly, with great control, going around like you would to tap off a crown bearing race off a fork.. can't go balls out, gradually increase force till it starts moving. I'll let you know how it went..)

Great Video!! Question, I like the procedure for setting the right level of oil which you demonstrate. Can this be done for first generation reverb (A1) with external cable? Also same question for the method of isolating the post rebuild from the lever bleed, can I do something similar with the A1 model?
@ButterSuspension
@ButterSuspension 4 ай бұрын
External Reverbs are almost a different beast. The oil height setting method is different since the air and oil chambers are flipped. Also, because the actuator isn't inline with the post on externally routed models, the only way to test for function on those is to hook up the hose.

Great video. Thank you. But … horrible product. Ditch this dropper post completely unless you want to do this ridiculous bleed job or a full service every few weeks. Fluid dropper is the lamest idea ever. My brand new Santa Cruz came with a reverb … never worked from day one. No wonder they finally stopped putting them on their bikes. After four trips to the shop, finally trashed it for the One Up v3 … cable and it works. Lighter, better, easier.

When the Nihonsei/Japanese took over the '80s Transformers cartoon as well as the toy manufacturing, they made a little customized fire truck that was sold in 1988 as Seiberturon Kabu/Cab (or Autobot Hosehead in the US). I've been trying to ID what real world truck is was probably based on, but it has been hard because they molded a ton of extra bits on, to up the coolness factor. But this vid was a lot of fun. Still not sure, but it would be easy to imagine this fire truck turning into a little Autobot that could. Turansuform! 😂
