Thankyou.

[@lifebehindbarz60]

Hello Geoffrey, happy to see you did the fork swap! I think you'll really like it, definitely the best upgrade I've done to the Ranger! I need to do the rotor tweeking to my bike this morning too, might put on a new set of pads at the same time. Love your work space.... beautiful! Cheers

Thanks for the reply and look forward to you next video

What did you squirt on the wheel locking screws - lock tight?

[@FrancescoStancato]

Nice video Geoffrey, I will also do this upgrade, do you also know how to remove the speed limitation on the bike?

[@geoffcarol1]

Good morning. Thank you for the nice comment and also for watching the video. To remove the speed restriction, you remove the pedal box cover and look inside for the red wire. The red wire has a connector on it. Pull apart the connector and then just push the wires back into the pedal box. You need to then go into the screen settings and turn the power up to 100%. And that is all there is to it.

⁠@@geoffcarol1thank you so much much, come si imposta il display al 100%?

Hi Geoffrey great video, where did you get the Torque settings for the fork clamps. Thanks in advance.

[@geoffcarol1]

Hi Andy. I sort of guessed. When I undid them, they where tight. I set my bike torque wrench to the maximum it goes to which is 14. I do have bigger torque wrenches but didn’t want to strip anything. I thought it would be tight at 14 whilst I researched further. Hope this helps.

[@antonybolton1966]

Hi geoff thanks for this video. What psi have you set your shock to ?

[@geoffcarol1]

Hi Anthony. From memory i am at 125psi. This gave me around 25% sag.

[@antonybolton1966]

​@@geoffcarol1thankyou geoff

[@markbutler9291]

Hi Geoffrey, how are you finding these after a few months of use?

[@geoffcarol1]

Hi Mark. I haven't been out on mike bike in weeks as I have been on with other things. The times I used the bike I did notice a difference over the original shocks and it was for the better. I do think it is a worthwhile upgrade and I am pleased that I did it. I do need to get out again but I dont seem to have a lot of "play time" at the moment.

[@MyEbikeadventures]

Do they by air forks for a kommoda and would you know what psi I should have in my tyres

[@geoffcarol1]

I am not sure on the size of your forks but there are various supplies of replacement forks. I am not sure on your Commode as your tyres are a lot smaller than mine as I have the Ranger. As I read in mixed terrain, I have 15psi in the front and 18psi in the back. I ride on the beach, roads and forestry as well as farm tracks and I am happy with those tyre pressures.

[@DavidBaker-g8q]

What torque settings did you use on the triple

[@geoffcarol1]

I tightened the bolts to 8nm.

[@Ricks-way.]

Hi, every review ive seen for the ranger says it comes with air forks as standard, is this not the case? Also supposed to have an air rear shock.

[@geoffcarol1]

Morning. The front is a spring and the rear is air. I have seen that a few times too.

[@tonysmith5507]

How much , part no# , did you change disc dia. If soo what kind of disc is that , what caliper mount 😊?

[@geoffcarol1]

Hi Tony. Cost and part number are in the description link. Rotor is from Hope. 220mm diameter. Calliper adapter is a Magura 180 to 220mm.

How's rhe new air shocks working out

[@geoffcarol1]

Really pleased so far. I set my sag and then I have been playing with the rebound and compression. This I need to keep playing with as one minute it seems really good and then next its a bit "stiff". I doubt it's the shock but more down to me. The shocks are definitely smoother and easier on the arms than the spring shocks. I have noticed a difference which I am still hoping to improve upon. In my opinion it has been a worthwhile upgrade that was not expensive. I would definitely do it again if I had too.

Hello Geoffrey nice fork swap and thanks for the link will be doing this upgrade to my Cyrusher Ranger do you use a bike carrier for the bike and if so which thanks 😁

[@geoffcarol1]

Hi Andrew. I do use a bike carrier. This is the one I use. It is a really good item. www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/rbvehsel4_tab.php/car-specific-accessories/buzz_rack_e_scorpion_1_bike_folding_rack_no_brp611/Qx%40w%2C6M42VAwp3%40Rb%7B~cC4ure_LYk8

What weight rider does the air shock support?

[@geoffcarol1]

Hello. I don’t know. The link for the shocks is in the description. I did have a quick look but couldn’t see anything.

[@laptop597]

@geoffcarol1 is it wrote on the side of the bar sticker?

[@geoffcarol1]

@@laptop597 just looking at the sticker and it does not say a maximum weight. It gives guidance on air pressure for different weights. I weigh more than the figures given.

[@johnleach8316]

Morning Geoff, Tom from Colorado he’s great! Be interested to see if it makes much difference with the air shock I’m sure you’ll put up another video when it stops raining 😂 I was very interested in the ramp you’ve made it looks like you have 4 axle stands/ plywood and a ramp you wheel the bike up, I couldn’t quite See in the video what material the ramp was? You secured the bike to a beam! I want to build a ramp for my ranger to work on it too Great video Geoff lots of info if you’ve got any tips on building a ramp It would be much appreciated cheers 🍺🍺

[@geoffcarol1]

Morning John. Thanks for the comment. The work platform is brilliant and I use it way more that I ever expected. I am busy over the next couple of days but I will make a video for you explaining what I did and the reasons why.
