How To Install Suspension Fork For Talaria Sting, Surron, Segway

[@eucme9716]

I have a set of these on the way and I'm feeling more confident in the swap-out process after watching your tutorial. Oh and you should look at doing voice over work or something in radio. You definitely have the voice for it.

Dude thank you so much helped me out so much when I put my fast ace forks on my Surron 🤙

[@painmad]

Best headset discussion on KZbin!

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Thank you 🙏

[@campbellfam3581]

Great video, helped me thru this process well! Local bike shop swapped my bearing as well 🤙🏽

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Love to see others lending a helping hand 🤙🏻

You can buy a bearing grease packer, a little Tupperware type of deal. Plus before putting the bearing on the lower pack it full of grease. I also recommend the Warp 9 Bar Risers with bars the Mtn Bike stuff is hooky.

[@haveagoodoneyt]

That’s cool. I didn’t know there was a tool for it tbh. And I definitely need to adjust the ergos like you’re saying.

Thanks for the video. Helped a lot! At 10:25 you had all your pinch bolts and handlebars loose. You said that tightening it effectively acts like a press. I didn't see your fork tubes move up at all though. Should it? I didn't see mine go up either when I did that, so just curious if I need to go back and loosen the top clamp pinch bolts again and retighten the startnut bolt. Then retighten everything?

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Glad it helped! It’ll barely move. The distances were playing with are maybe 1/32nd of an inch so it’s almost impossible to see. Basically what you want to do is tighten it to the point the steering becomes stiff and back it off just enough so the forks pretty much flop from side to side with very little effort.

Excellent tutorial...will follow most of this for my Bomber 58 install this weekend:)

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Thank you, that means a lot! Hope your install goes well 🤙🏻

[@Drainhang]

How’d it go?

[@1917VIL]

it went well:)@@Drainhang

[@weekendwarriorsmx]

Great tutorial!

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Appreciate it!

[@leistungep3]

Great video. I can't wait to see your review after riding it. I have been thinking about getting the tuned FastAce fork from charged cycle.

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Thank you! 🤙🏻 I just filmed the review today so it’ll be coming up very very soon!

[@andlow3443]

Hello, how did you remove the bearing of La Fourche Dnm? Do you have a compatible bearing reference for this fork?

[@haveagoodoneyt]

I brought the old fork with the bearing attached to a bike shop and had them swap the beating onto my new fork for me. So I reused my stock bearing.

[@slartybartfarst9737]

Interesting to see the evolution of the electric off road bike as it sucks up the best from the motocross and mountain bike worlds as I ride both ICE bikes EV road bikes and Mountain bikes. Interesting to see the motocross tyres and rims on to boost hubs, getting close that tyre to fork clearance but great result with 7th. EV bikes getting better all the time.

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Such an interesting segment for sure

[@Danielxperez14]

my kke forks triple clamp got bent and luna cycles told me to basically just buy new forks so i got some cheap amazon forks coming in soon, this video is super helpful, going to try this out and have the bike shop finish it off as a plan b

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Very nice! Glad it could help!

[@SuburbanSurron]

after watching about half this video I knew I should probably just have a bike shop do it 😂 i've done my controller and just about everything else but my forks I don't feel confident doing and having them be dialed / done right

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Dude fair enough. It’s good to know your mechanical limits. Better to not mess something up so you can keep riding

[@christophergarza3482]

What size are those shocks?

[@johnmaldonado3909]

Great review and very comprehensive

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Thank you!

The Fastace and new Talaria factory forks both come almost ready, which is nice because you don't have to cut them. The main challenge is removing the lower bearing from your old fork because there's a tiny plastic ring under it which probably also has to go on the new fork. You just need a bearing remover, a star nut and star nut presser to do it yourself, then find something like a PVC pipe to push the bearing onto the new fork. Some people buy the regular Surron headset kit from LunaCycle to get a star nut, new bearings, and extra hardware. I used the star nut that came with my new Talaria factory fork, but it didn’t come with the Fastace fork (no big deal) unless it’s otherwise specified or included (in case you need it) and they're the same size. Luna included it for me in the headset kit. Other than that... The little plastic bracket I had from my DNM fork (the one that holds the brake hose) doesn’t fit Talaria or fastace forks. Ebikezilla might have it for the Fastace/Talaria factory fork, and it. You could also use a zip tie instead.

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Yea, not being able to mount the fender was a bummer. I even mounted it using just two bolts to see if I could get away with it. Turns out there isn’t enough clearance and the wheel bottoms out on the DNM fender now. Same here with the brake line bracket. I did the same and just used a couple zip ties.

[@esskay9881]

Did you not have to install the spacers?

[@SaltCreep45]

You didn't have to cut down the stem tube on the fastAce ?

[@haveagoodoneyt]

I forgot to mention that in the video. The Fastace fork comes ready to go. No need to cut the stem tube!

[@hollowedentity7097]

Yea talaria definitely doesn’t grease anywhere enough. Enough for mine to fail horribly. My friend looked at his and the same thing just not as bad. I’m 4100 miles on mine he’s 1500ish

[@amberdurante]

Great video

[@markj.7630]

I never saw anyone reuse a star nut.

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Gotta make due lol 😂

[@ryanbrown6708]

The factory are by far the best you can get for them

[@made4tankfight510]

Absolutely not, MTB DH suspension are too needy of High level maintenance, stick to coil stuff

[@waynewigger9904]

Why not fit new bearing's while you was doing it surely would of made sence fitting forks is thew easy part its a 20 minute job

[@armyca]

Did you get it for free, as many other KZbinrs, or you purchased it?

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Yea exactly. Fastace sent them to me to test, like I said in the description I didn’t get paid for this nor was I asked to make this video. I just wanted to take the opportunity to show everyone how to swap forks on their bikes.

[@armyca]

@@haveagoodoneyt good for you man! That is really good fork. I waiting for my Talaria bike delivery Monday... It will be version with talaria factory fork, otherwise I would apply for fastace fork for my KZbin channel either.

[@haveagoodoneyt]

@@armyca Thank you! I’m stoked to hear your opinion on the factory fork because there has been so much hype built up recently.

[@armyca]

@@haveagoodoneyt here is answer from ebikezilla, when I was trying to make a decision, which one I want: Hi, I have to say that both suspension are the best that you can get stock on these bikes these days. They are both built very strong and can take a lot of abuse. On the Fast ace, you get compression and rebound adjustments. On the Talaria Factory, you get the additional pre-load adjustment. So if you are a heavy rider, I would lean more towards the Talaria Factory since you can add pre-load to your spring to make them stiffer. But anyway, I will do review via my English and Russian language channels.

[@haveagoodoneyt]

@@armyca very informative. Thank you so much 🤙🏻

[@Goat706mopar]

Star nuts are cheap, reusing them is a stupid idea.🤔🧐🤔🧐

[@haveagoodoneyt]

I just had to get it done. (Actually I was just in a hurry) Plus I ended up using a Quadlock stem mount instead of that star nut. So far that’s holding everything in place and my phone now mounts securely for navigation

[@suryabirch76]

I think it need more Greece

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Originally I was gonna use the whole jar

[@ChickenPetter]

Radio voice

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Haha thanks 🙏

[@soulfulfool]

so yea only thing I wanted to see was taking off the bearing yet you didnt make it 😒😒

[@MahALOHAwaii92]

Is this fork narrower than the DNM ? My DNM is 4.25 in between the stanchions. Waiting for my Fastace fork... thanks for the informative video 🤙🏽

[@haveagoodoneyt]

I believe so
