#askgmbntech Will upgrading to a DebonAir air-can for my RS Monarch RT3 HV 200x57 IMPROVE small bump sensitivity SIGNIFICANTLY or should I switch to Vivid Coil? I have a 150mm Trail bike. Right now I use 30-35% SAG and I feel it's totally lacking small bump sensitivity. Thank you!

#AskGMBNTech Hey Doddy, a tip for tall riders please. im just over 6 foot 2 inches tall , long legs, riding an XL size 29er hardtail, my seat is set perfect height wise, but it is high compared to my bars.......i want to shorten my stock stem which is really long, and raise my handle bar height to take some weight off my hands and relieve hand pain. Can you tell us again what stem size you use and ( as i have pretty straight handle bars) how much "rise" you have on your handle bars please? ( if rise is the right word? fingers crossed that makes sense). cheers dude!!!!

[@kylefergusson6070]

Hi Doddy , I am buying a new bike, it has a fox fork , in one of your videos you gave a link to a rebound calculator based on your weight however that only works for RockShox forks is there an equivalent for fox forks ? Thanks #AskGMBNTech

#AskGMBNTech can you give a basic bike geometry introduction? I have no idea how a shorter chainstay or longer wheelbase or anything like that affect how a bike rides.

there are lots of videos about this, i think GMBN has already done somethink about geometry. basicaly, longer bike = more stable at high speeds but not that much maneurevable at lover speeds.

I increased my Rockshox Recon Solo Air 2017 from 100 to 128 mm by removing a spacer on the air side you can take out. Some forks have it some forks don't. Did a test run - seems to work fine, although you have to mingle afterwords with the oil quantity( by increasing it) in order to make it lock up afterwards. Hope this helps as it drove me mad as I had a straight head on my frame and I could not find any longer travel forks at a decent price, mostly all were tapered.

[@starsky8351]

I have a Rockshox Recon silver on my Marin Hawk Hill, so I could increase the travel on that fork? I feel the bike needs 130mm in the front, rather than the 120mm

I've been using grip-shift since the originals, I switched after going through many different underbar shifters. The originals were not as good but really from X-ray on they were good. I have the XO on my bike, rear only, and it works great. There may be some time necessary to get used to the new shifting technique, but I don't have any problems with shifts. Mostly because I have been using it for a while. Cheap, light, and indestructable...can't beat it!

[@Brainreaver79]

i had a gripshift in the 90s,.. which was remakably different from what i have seen since... the whole grip was the shifter,.. but you could lock the grip if you wanted to but you mostly didnt need to only on really shock intensive terrain or big jumps,.. and that was on a bike without ANY suspension.. so i would imagine today it would work even better. but i havent seen this style of shifter since... only the gripshiftswith the small ring on the grip

That's what Iove about SR Suntour QSP (quick service parts) you can adjust the the travel of your forks at home without affecting your warranty at all. Did mine on 3 Suntour Epixon forks... Awesome.. And the new Auron forks are the bomb

Grip shifts are popular with the fat bikers. Winter riding requires warm bulky gloves so less dexterity is required with grip shifts.

As always.. so freaking informative. Love all your videos.. from all of you guys. You are all fun to watch..

[@joelrunyan1608]

If the brake uses oil.. it will have a ceramic piston. Brakes using dot4 will have metal piston. And will transfer more heat into the fluid. Which is why you need the high boiling point of dot4

[@lux-3001]

not all brakes with mineral oil have ceramic pistons.

[@mattgies]

And not all brakes with DOT fluid have metal pistons. For instance, when I overhauled my Hope Mono Mini brake, I replaced the old metal pistons with the new phenolic (plastic) pistons.

[@josiahgolding7826]

so you have a 150mm yari? If so yes it will be fine to add a 160mm 36. Make sure everything will fix eg taper, break mounts, axels and so one. Adding 10mm will slacken you head angle by 0.5 degrees. Eg 66 degrees with a 150mm fork it will be 65.5 degrees with a 160mm fork. Also you will want to only add fork travel by 20mm max for the manufactured travel. Hope this helps

[@pimsmitheartspacers]

I just increased the travel of my 2018 Rockshox Recon rl (with black stanchions). It is was 100 mm, and after a Google search I found out that these could probably be increased by removing travel spacers. I tried this and indeed there was a 20 mm of travel spacer that I could remove! So now my fork is 120. If you can do a lower leg service, you probably can do this too. Just take apart the air shaft after removing the lowers. You can just pull the plugs out of the shaft. No special tools needed. You only need some fresh oil for the lowers (or reuse the old oil which I did, my fork was practically new). Hope this helps mate!

I ran the eagle grip GX on my XC bike last year to try it out. I have same opinion as Neil is was annoying to constantly have to move your hand on the bar and sometimes you end up just riding with your hand resting on the grip ready to shift which isn't ideal. However I did enjoy using it as it there is less effort to shift and its much faster shifting. I still have the shifter and may put back on for less aggressive long distance riding. On another note it completely chewed up my inner cable and eventually stopped working? Im not sure if this was the shifter? oh and its not a lot of money to spend if you already have Eagle. GX is like $40

#AskGMBNTech when I press my brakes hard enough to lock the discs and then push my bike backwards and forwards there is a little play between the disc and hub so the wheel moves a few mm while the disc does not. My disc is a centre lock, what could cause this?

#AskGMBNTech Why is my dropper post sagging about half an inch when I sit on it? Do I need to add air or service it?

#AskGMBNTech could a specialized stumpjumper ST alloy that retails for 2,199€ in Germany be upgraded to a longer travelling fork? I'm sure the OEM 130mm would suffice for a while but I'd still like to have the option to upgrade it to 150mm in the future. Thanks there mate and love the show.

#AskGMBNTech: Hello I very like your videos they are so helpful. I have a Sram X3 rear derailleur and I want to change that for a Shimano Deore M-6000. So do I need to change the whole freehub or it's enough if I change the freehub body?
