That fork looks pretty good! Especially that it's a 140. I've always loved budget builds and components, but I decided to move out of it recently... It was new bike day for me a few days ago!!

@@eugene44569 literally all bikes aren't in stock right now, and I don't feel like waiting months for a bike to arrive. And in general, I'm a big Trek fan. So for me it was a great investment. And trust me, I literally spent a whole year researching every full suspension bike I could, from Giant, Vitus, Marin, Polygon, Diamondback, you name it. The EX7 is what I decided would be best for me and my budget. I'm still open to other bikes and brands, just the EX7 was the best option for me right now. It came tubeless too, and I can upgrade the hub to 108T for super cheap.

[@durtyt4770]

The reason new forks start to sit down in the travel is negative chamber equalization. All brand new forks do this. You will have to add pressure a few times until both chambers equalize at your desired pressure.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

We agree 100%. This is the reason we scored it at 127mm instead of the lower numbers due to suck. We do cycle air pressure and physically pull forks apart to ensure they get full credit. The mechanical limits were measured for sure. The company acknowledged that they might be off by a little, so they stopped marketing them as a 140mm and started marketing them as a 120mm fork. Thanks👍

[@techjeeper8800]

Watching the fork travel I’d say it’s staying very low in its travel. Normally I’d say add some air but I’m curious if it’s losing air slowly and that’s why it’s so nice over the smalls. The give out factor has to do with air volume. That’s where an air token would come into play to increase ramp up. So the air pressure is right but has too much volume. Another great video, I’ll quit rambling tech. Great riding and good fun!

[@mtbboy1993]

I agree it could be losing air. very likely if it feels softer as time passes.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Well love some tech talk and especially done that way. Appreciate that, now we need to take the air all out and try to ok extend.....then maybe air it up??

[@techjeeper8800]

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS well with a larger 34mm stanchion and longer travel the amount of air or air volume is pretty big. Ex: a 30mm 100mm travel air spring set to 100PSI would be a lot less air than a 34mm 140mm set at 100PSI. Air compresses under load so the more air you have the more travel it takes to firm up through the compression. The 100 mm fork might get firm after 25mm of travel but the 140 might take 40-50mm of travel before it firms up fir big hits. If you add an air token it reduces the air volume but you put the same air pressure back in. Usually an air token threads on the bottom of the top cap on the air chamber side. Air tokens don’t limit travel, they change the way the travel feels. I have no idea if lutu has provisions for an air token. The limited travel either comes from the wrong air spring shaft, a spacer put in wrong at the factory, or maybe the wrong damper put in the non air side. They are a cartridge type thing so you could probably bolt a shorter on in and that would limit the travel. I’d email and ask them about the travel problem.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

SCHOOL IS ON SESSION:) It is funny you cannot find this on the internet, you can but man...You explain it so well, thank you. And I highly doubt Lutu has "air tokens"

[@stylusmtb1762]

If it anything like the manitou magnum then release all air and then pull stanchions out of the lowers as far as you can before pressurizing. With my magnum if you don’t do that it won’t extend past that point after it has air in it because the air chamber is in reverse from most other forks

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Thank you man, we are GOING TO DO THAT!!

[@davidmeloni8282]

Hey I just bought the KRSEC XR34 which is exactly the same fork. Just the 120mm version, but 100mm effective travel. Was the Lutu 34 also very stiff in the beginning? My XR34 requires a lot of force to start moving. I already opened up the fresh fork, and relubed everything, but that doesn’t help.

About the rebound knob, they should have a hollow lower design, so the knob is hidden, for the most part, that would protect it from a lot. Nice adapters are included. nothing wrong with them having spacers included. But strange they did not include a disc spacer too, as the disc spacer is needed to offset the disc to be close enough, keeping it with even spacers means the wheel does not have to be relished. but spacer for the disc is needed on a boost fork.

Nice review on the fork. I agree if it is advertised as 140mm you should be getting 140mm out of the box.

We try to emulate the common beginner to intermediate non-mechanically inclined rider. Tearing into a fork undermines the ability to judge long term durability for the previously mentioned, and it also creates an excuse for companies to not care about the quality control of products leaving the factory and/or warehouse.

I think inalreadfg shared it, the term is "suck down" I think. My Era fork has seperate chambers, seperate air valves just like the DNM shock. So far not many do this with forks only Ext, Formula i think. Rockshox did it in early 2000s and then eventually discontinued the idea, claiming its too complicated for many customers. I don't find it complicated.

[@mtbboy1993]

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS the fork might be leaking, have you checked that? If it's closed cartridges you are screwed unless it's only a loose valve core. If so try tightening it, and if it does not work it might need to be replaced. If that does not work it probably is air chamber that leaks. But I don't know if they put closed cartridges in or if this fork is possible to fully service. If I fork is leaking the fork basically is uslessnubtil it gets fixed. If they have closed cartridges you need to replace those, so send the fork back for fix, this would be a warranty case and done for free. But proper s forks don't have closed cartridges

Gotcha, funny we have seen Bolany forks with a negative Air chamber:) NEED TO TRY!! LOL

Im really digging the budget fork reviews. Iam prolly going to go with a bucklous (sp?) but i think i need a reducer to use a straight steerer tube in my tapered head tube.. any idea of what i should go with for a reducer? my bike has a tapered fork in it from the factory (rst guide) but ill be dammed if i cant find a 135 qr suspension fork with a tapered head tube.. off to see what this buy me a beer thing is all about. :)

the bucklos is also available with a tapered steerer tube (and 100 qr axle)

Hey brother in our fork videos we usually have affiliate links to the headsets we use and they all come with adapters. Jessica is what we trust and they are around $20.

[@mtbboy1993]

I agree with you on the travel thing, if they sell it as 140mm it has to be actually 140mm, even if it's adjustable, they should list that too. they should have a manual on how to adjust it if it is adjustable travel. but really I suspect this fork is junk. I guess if you take it apart you can see if it's adjustable travel. but I don't have high hopes for it.

I already ordered the bucklos wheel set but thank you very much my adhd makes me very impatient 😬lmao

[@polishguywithhardtospellna8227]

You're not wrong by not treating it as 140mm. It's 127mm if you forced it out with low, or no pressure. Now why it shrunk, was because at 34mm it's designed, squseme...it's winged at harder riding/heavier rider, thus it's negative coil spring i bet it has, is set for higher pressures, than your smaller stature requires. Because you don't use high enough air pressure, that coil spring sucks down the fork. It still might be travel adjustable with everything required included inside stanchion. Not everyone can do that adjustment, most shops in US will prolly refuse, but this fork requires greasing from factory anyway, so it's not for non-self-servicing riders anyway.

Gotcha man, it makes sense. Appreciate the lengthy explanation man. Hope to see you around more Mr.Polish!!

Not sure if your honking about cutting the bars down but if you are, don’t use a pipe cutter it will crack the bars, you have to use a saw and carbon dust is bad to breath, probably want to do it with a mask

maybe they sent you the wrong fork, and it's not actually 140mm. but 140mm is great for most trails and some gnar, big roots, holes, 140mm is what I use for the most part if I go on some of the gnarlier trails.

Jeremiah, I'm working with Bolany to rewrite their Amazon ad for their fat bike fork. I bought that fork from them (with the rebound adjustment) and I really like it, but the ad was barely legible, so I asked them if I could help make it sound more "American" and give more of the specs so there would be less questions. They like what I wrote and intend to use it, so maybe if the relationship blossoms, I can eventually get them to send you another one for demo.
