@@mahon1352 I hope you found this video useful 😊

@@JakeBrookesBiking 💯 mate thank you , problem solved by watching your video

Thank you for feedback 😊 I have a fox 36 and I don’t think I used any shims in the end. It seemed to work perfectly on its own 😊

Thank you for this, whatever it was, Fox managed to get this sorted for me 😊

@@AFV85 Hello, sorry about my slow reply… Ideally volume spacers should be left until sag is set correctly and the bike has been ridden to see how it feels and how progressive or linear it is. However I understand your issue, I would say give it a go and see what you find 😊 As long as you do not go over the max pressure for your shock then you shouldn’t have any issues. Just be aware that reducing the volume spacers size will make the bike more linear and easier to bottom out. On the other hand adding a volume spacer or increasing the volume spacers size will increase how progressive your bike is. If your running a large amount of sag - this will certainly help to reduce bottom outs I would personally start by trying a slightly larger volume spacer, go back to your max pressure and see where you sit with sag 😊 I’m sorry I can’t give you a definitive answer but hopefully the info above is helpful.

Ohh no, unfortunately to my knowledge the only lock ring tool I know that will work, is the Ethirteen lock ring tool. Is there no way of possibly straightening the lockring tool you have bent in a vice?

Hello 😊 The left pedal will not go into the right crank arm and the right pedal should not go into the left crank arm as the threads are opposite. They do need a nip to stay in place. I can’t see why they would come loose if they are nipped tight… it might be worth tightening them up a little more or maybe using some loctite, however this isn’t usually needed 😊 How are the bearings? Are they a little stiff? I hope this helps 😊

Hello, sorry about my slow reply. Since I have started using these I have stopped carrying any tyre repair equipment when riding at trail centre or when I am not too far from the van. They really are very good and they last very long. I am still using the same airliner I used in this video 😊 Thank you very much for sharing this 😊

Hello, 👋 When you connect the shock pump to the shock or fork, the air pressure will drop slightly. This is down to the air volume being shared between the suspension air chamber and the shock pump, instead of just being in the suspension air chamber, leading to a slight drop in pressure. When you disconnect the shock pump from the fork or shock there will be a hissing noise as the shock pump looses its pressure. The pressure in the fork or shock should not change though as the valve is closed before the seal between the shock pump and fork or shock is opened. If you are losing a significant amount of air when removing the shock pump, or the shock pump is not pressurising the fork or shock, then you may have a faulty shock pump. Make sure the pump connection is clean and clear and ensure the pump itself is not loose in any way. If your pump still isn’t working correctly, then I would replace the shock pump. I hope this helps

I’m glad you got it sorted 😊

The old fashioned way👌👌😁

@@lazariusmtb 😂

Have you tried warming it up a little or cooling it down? Sometimes either can help with this.

@@JakeBrookesBiking Finally I have used a cutter knife to separate the paper from the rubber. Was not easy, both were kinda "melded".

@@Slipknot19791979 they certainly are sticky. Please let me know what you think of it when you ride 😊

I guess it may have been over tightened when it was last put on. Are you struggling to get it off?

Hello, personally I would take it to a bike shop or order the right tool. I know it means waiting for the tool to arrive and there is more cost. But otherwise you risk damaging the lock ring or chainring. However if you don’t want to order the right tool then you could use a large set of grips to remove the ring, I have also heard of some people using a hammer and flat bladed screwdriver to tap the lock ring free. I hope this helps 😊

Ohh no, is Les’ 2 ok?

@@JakeBrookesBiking les 2 is yes and les 3 just 😂 loggers have been around that area to

@@martinallenden1981 I haven’t been up in a while but I have heard there is a lot of damage. Hopefully there are at least a few sections left 🙏

Hello 😊 Thank you for sharing this! I love the Agarro for trail riding. I love how fast is it. Unfortunately I haven’t ridden with the Xynotal yet. What is it like?

I would suggest looking at the Martello. It sits between the Agarro and the Mazza and it is available in the same trail casing as the Agarro. It is a fantastic tyre that still rolls very well but provides more all round grip than the Agarro. The Mazza is a brilliant tyre too however it does roll slower than both the Martello and the Agarro. So if you want to maintain the light and easy to pedal feeling (which I love!) than I would suggest the Martello I hope this helps, so sorry my reply was slow

Hello 👋 Thank you for sharing this. Unfortunately this does seem to be a common theme - shocks not lasting long after a service before making this noise again. If the rebound and overall performance is consistent and unaffected. Then I would save your money and just use the shock as it is 😊 I know the noise is annoying but if the performance is the same then I would just use it. I hope Fox find a solution for this in the future

Hello, so sorry for my slow reply. No there isn’t an indication for this unfortunately. I would suggest using a torque wrench if you have one. Personally I just guessed and went tight enough to the point where I didn’t think it would come loose. It have not had any issues since doing this 😊

Hello 👋 I am very sorry about my slow reply. Some (but very few) forks and shocks are set up to be able to use a system like this. At the moment I’m not sure of any other brand fitting this standard on their bikes, although I would think some XC race bikes will have this as standard. It could be retrofitted to a bike. However this requires a fair few extra parts and some forks and shock will not be compatible. It is a shame this isn’t an option on trail bikes as it is a brilliant feature to have. What do you ride?

Hello, thank you for your comment. Since I have had this fixed (the second time round) the noise hasn’t come back 😊 However the results do seem to vary

Hello, thank you very much for the feedback. I would probably say round. I hope this helps

Hello 😊 does it get stuck on the shock hardware / long tube plastic spacer?

​@@JakeBrookesBikingnevermind I figured it out, I had to twist it off with the flow of the spring

Hello Daniel, I would try putting some penetrating oil on the threads and leave overnight to see if it will free it up a little (try not to get any fluid on your disc contact area) You could also try extending the handle of the lockring tool to give you a bit more leverage. Failing that you could use a flat bladed screwdriver and a hammer to tap the lockring free. I hope this helps 😊

@@JakeBrookesBikingOk ill give it a try and comment the results, i think it's way too tight due to dirt and low maintenance, do you think heat would also help?? I've seen videos where It does with rusted bolts and stuff like that, but don't know in my case

@@danielpiana7566 I would try without heat first 😊 I’m not sure if the heat would discolour or damage the disk or hub. I haven’t tried applying heat to this part of a wheel before so unfortunately I can’t say for sure. Usually though heat will help Sorry I can’t give you a definitive answer

Hello 👋 Neither did I, that’s party why I made this video to help others out 😊 I’m just glad the bike industry didn’t come up with another tool for this and they used something already in use 😊

The tool kept slipping off so I used a flat head screw driver and hammer and used the flat head in the groove and tapped it with hammer until the ring unlocked 😂 old school methods still work the best sometimes 👌😂😂

@@paulosborne1409 Thank you for sharing this Paul! It might just help someone out 😊

Thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate it. Have you got the first version or version 2 / V2. V2 is slightly different - if you have V2 this is the video you need… kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4fWoZ6VgZiSiNk 😊

Anytime 😊 I’m glad this was useful.

That’s brilliant! Well done 😊 What full suspension EBike do you have? I don’t own an EBike unfortunately, maybe one day 😊

Hello, thank you for your comment. As long as when you ride the performance is consistent then no, it should not be a problem 😊 Is your shock the newer model?

Ohh no, I haven’t been up in a while but there did seem to be some work going on last time I was there. What is left?

Anytime 😊 I am glad this was useful.

It’s a brilliant section! 😊 Have you done K-line down through Transmission, Nitrous and Accelerator?

@@JakeBrookesBiking unfortunately now because me being me went on the Sunday only to find out it was a race day 👀 so the trails you mentioned were closed for the race. Will be doing them the next time I go.

@@thewizard2465 they are a brilliant set of trails. I presume the race you stumbled across was the Hamsterley TT by NDH. If it was, it is definitely worth looking into. It’s a brilliant race to do 😊🏁

@@JakeBrookesBiking yes mate that was the race. I went back couple days ago done poltys last blast, sessions the jumps on k-line (amazing trail) then done accelerator nitrous transmission ect. The trails are amazing but the climb to the start of poltys last blast is crazy.

@@thewizard2465 It is a fair climb but it is certainly worth it 😊 They are definitely my favourite sections at Hamsterley

Ohh no! Have you managed to get this sorted?

Never,ind I cracked my headset@@JakeBrookesBiking

@@Rsquirres Ohh, that’s not good, but I’m glad you found the issue and that’s better than needing a new set of forks 😊

Hello, thank you for this 😊 Unfortunately it doesn’t sound like Fox have resolved this issue with the new X2. Hopefully they will find a solution in the future 🙏

Anytime 😊

Very informative video spot on, just before I order, may I please check which size guard you are showing in the video? I’m currently running the mudhugger bolt on but never really rated it, also running a Zeb Ultimate so was well chuffed with the V2 release ! Cheers bro 😎

@@boypike25Hello, thank you very much for the feedback 😊 The size I have in my hand in this video is the Mini. However any shots with the ProGuard on my bike (e.g. 2:17) is the standard size. I hope this helps 😊

Thank you very much! 😊

Hello, so sorry about my slow reply. I haven’t ridden with the Barzo so I can’t really comment on that tyre. However the Mazza up front in a 2.4 works very well. Are you looking at the trail, enduro or enduro race casing?

Hello, do you mean the shock hardware? The plastic spacer / shaft at each end of the shock?

@@JakeBrookesBiking yes

@@TonyFernandezjkdjedi If you need to remove the shock hardware you can often pull off the end caps/washers with your fingers. Then you can gently tap the central tube out. You can use a socket as a sleeve on the outer hardware meaning you can tap the central tube into the socket - I hope that makes sense. Personally I would suggest using a bearing press or a DU bush removal tool to press out the hardware. It is the easier and safest way to avoid any damage to your shock. It is worth noting that this is not always needed. Often the spring will go over shock hardware if it isn’t too wide 😊 I hope this helps

@@JakeBrookesBiking I got the bearing press, and it was easy. thanks for your patience.

@@TonyFernandezjkdjedi Brilliant! I’m glad you are sorted 😊 Take care
