My 50 pence for refitting the air can. Wind the rebound to fully slow counting the amount of clicks then when you compress the shock it stays down! Makes engaging those pesky threads a whole lot easier.
This is a great thing. This way it's much more specific and you can see exactly everything you need to do. Although I was kinda disappointed that he didn't show the removal of the shock from the bike. It's a small thing and probably can see it in other videos but still.. Would be nice if it were really 'start to finish'
This is priceless. Please do more of these 'deep-dives'. Ideas: -- Front Forks -- Mechanical & Hydraulic Brakes -- Front/Rear Derailers -- Dropper Seats -- Cranks
Boom! Air can service done. This and the video Doddy did before gave me total confidence in doing this myself. Piece of cake once you’ve got the tools and the knowledge.
@@chrismorris9396 They recommend a lower leg service after 50 hours and full out internal replacements after 100 hours last time I checked for 2015-2018 forks.
Hah! I was thinking the same thing. Bob Ross used to lower my blood pressure about 30 points whenever I watched him and Henry did the same thing. Very low key; very detailed. That is not a knock by any means.
YES please do make more of these of overlooked bike service types of videos you can do at home. I really love to see the inner workings of the shocks and bits none the less too. I find it interesting.
Hey Henry, I'm so grateful that you did this extremely useful video. My air shock also wants to thank you for not being worn down :D I also like your way of presenting and lecturing alot, to satisfy the curiosity of tech nerds like me. And sharing your special tips and tricks with us, so thank you!
Awesome vid. We need more real time vids like this so we amateurs can see each step clearly and understand the process. Keep up the great work! GMBN Tech is the best!
Great video guys. More of the same please. It really helps when you are trying a service for the first time having a guide to make sure you aren’t going to damage your bike. More of the same please. How about a bearing service for your rear pivot on a suspension bike. Things to look out for etc.
Just make sure you don't use RS 3wt damping fluid in your air can. Also be sure to check RS's service site for the correct way to do a air can service. This is riddled with small mistakes and potential safety issues.
Love this type of proper servicing Henry made that look simple and easy enough that most people could tackle it. Lower fork service next please then bleeding Sram brakes...
Awesome tutorial! It would be a great idea to do all the periodic maintenance service guides. Forks, Hydraulic brake bleed and pad changes, cable changes, shifter maintenance and so on.
Excellent video (as always), I really love the "real time" idea,much more helpful for when you do it yourself and because it is such a fully comprehensive video,it also gives you more faith in what you're about to do.👍👍👍
Cracking video! I like the real-time aspect! Real-time service/repair videos like this are really good ideas! You could do loads like this forks bb’s hubs headsets make it a series! Be nice to see a full service done as well
Definitely good style of vid! You guys should do more maybe an in depth full shock service and lower leg form service? Would love to see some better videos on in depth shock servicing!
Great video Henry, very thorough, thank you! Please do more of these! I'd especially like to see servicing a freehub, servicing/replacing linkage bearings.
Excelent Henry! Just in time for me. Followed the instructions and it was just as easy. More of those please! Can you do a full service of fork and shock?
Always good to watch these, usually a tip or two I can pick up despite having done these services for years on my bikes. Sadly neither of my bikes have shocks that can be serviced like this, both are CCDB Airs, no home tinkering on those!
I like it. Do more of this. But you did make an error. How did the shock magically appear on your work bench? People also want to know how to properly remove and reinstall it on the bike. That information is more important in some ways as if I cannot confidently get it off and back on the bike, then I can't service it.
If your struggling to reseat the Can then slowing down the rebound to minimum helps. A cheap 1 - 3mm syringe is good for adding an accurate quantity of float fluid to the can. I also personally crack the Can on the bike then remove the shock.. much better than putting a hex through the eye IMO.
Thank you. Loved this video so much, I'm now going to service my shock whilst playing this video. [Edit] Just services my Manitou Radium Expert. The video was perfect. I struggled getting the air cover off, so went back to removing it with it attached to the bike. Worked a treat with just hands and no strap. Struggled getting back on but that's because I want applying enough pressure when twisting
Great video, thank you, I see my self doing what you are doing, since if I'm not being carefull when doing my mechanic it will cost me money in the long in the run. Keep it up, love your videos.
The guy can't even do an air can service correctly. You sure wouldn't want him to show you how to fuck up your damper. Go to ridefox.com/help if you want to learn how to properly do it.
Some cans use fox float fluid in both halves not just the bottom half. Also if you depress the air valve while you are putting back on the can you don't have to remove it.
Top stuff guys. This is the next job I want to do on my bike so an impeccably timed video and very helpful. Forks, droppers, brakes and wheel truing in the same format please 🤙
What did you think of this video? What do you want to see Henry do some more servicing in real time? Let us know!
Full fork service

Yes! More please!

GMBN Tech please service a whole bike in real time
This is priceless. Please do more of these 'deep-dives'.
Ideas:
-- Front Forks
-- Mechanical & Hydraulic Brakes
-- Front/Rear Derailers
-- Dropper Seats
-- Cranks
Yeah dropper seats please
Nice guide. could you do a real time fork service?
Yea defo
I third this. Love working on my own stuff, despite the "support your LBS" mentality. I just don't have the funds for certified service =]
Yea they should also do a fox shock real time one. Preferably dpx2
Great shout! 🤙
@@jackbeames7643 they have done a fork service on fox
Boom! Air can service done. This and the video Doddy did before gave me total confidence in doing this myself. Piece of cake once you’ve got the tools and the knowledge.
Fork service plz. Great work thanks.
Yeah!
No difference. It's almost the same
You should do a video on the 200 hour service for rockshox forks or forks in general
isn't the 200 hour service an almost complete internals replacement?
@@M3PH11 from what I understand from the service instructions provided by rockshox online it's replacing the seals and orings and bleeding the dampers
@@chrismorris9396 They recommend a lower leg service after 50 hours and full out internal replacements after 100 hours last time I checked for 2015-2018 forks.
If Bob Ross was a bike mechanic. Happy little seals
Gustavo Curiche hahah so true
Hah! I was thinking the same thing. Bob Ross used to lower my blood pressure about 30 points whenever I watched him and Henry did the same thing. Very low key; very detailed. That is not a knock by any means.
don't know if it's just me. but besides the real good explanation his calming voice makes this much better to understand anyhow.
YES please do make more of these of overlooked bike service types of videos you can do at home. I really love to see the inner workings of the shocks and bits none the less too. I find it interesting.

Absolutely want to see more of these
Absolutely love this.
Too many guides always have some part being "After this, just do this and this, but thats so easy that we don't show it here"
Just did mine, A lot easier than i thought it was going to be, Massive thanks to Henry and GMBN for this video
Awesome vid. We need more real time vids like this so we amateurs can see each step clearly and understand the process. Keep up the great work! GMBN Tech is the best!
More of this please!
Love these kind of vids!

The Bob Ross of mountainbike maintenance! ✌️
philippfib good one mate! You gotta love the modern MTB art👊😄
Yeah.... This was great. Enjoyed it. Do more. Nice job Henry.
Great video. My RS Monarch really needs service, so I will follow the steps in this video. Thanks 👍
Awesome, hope this video helps! 👍

Lower fork service next please then bleeding Sram brakes...
More videos like this👌🏼👌🏼
Awesome tutorial! It would be a great idea to do all the periodic maintenance service guides. Forks, Hydraulic brake bleed and pad changes, cable changes, shifter maintenance and so on.
More please! It would be great to see a front fork service next!
Great guide. Looks like something I could easily take on myself and never would have considered without seeing something like this!
Great format. Please keep doing maintenance videos just like this one. Very, very useful!
love these real time services
Great video. Key notes: let the air out slowly!!! Did two of these, the first one I let all the air out at once, and it boom when screwing off
4:55 so I noticed I have some super fine scoring on my shaft, it works fine so I don't think it requires filling in yet
Very Good! Yes more videos like this. 👍
Liked the real time service video, bring on some more!
Excellent video (as always), I really love the "real time" idea,much more helpful for when you do it yourself and because it is such a fully comprehensive video,it also gives you more faith in what you're about to do.👍👍👍
Great! Please can you do one on forks?
Great video guy's! Henry clearly knows what he's talking about and explains things very clearly, would love to see more of these kind of video's!
Brilliant, more real time maintenance videos please. 👏
Absolutely ace, well done, very useful. Now can you do the same for a fork and maybe even break the stages down on separate clips. Brill
Cracking video! I like the real-time aspect! Real-time service/repair videos like this are really good ideas! You could do loads like this forks bb’s hubs headsets make it a series! Be nice to see a full service done as well
Please do a video like this on coil shocks!
Definitely good style of vid! You guys should do more maybe an in depth full shock service and lower leg form service? Would love to see some better videos on in depth shock servicing!
Great stuff. Fork shock service next please :)
Great video Henry, very thorough, thank you! Please do more of these! I'd especially like to see servicing a freehub, servicing/replacing linkage bearings.
Nice to know even this job isnt rocketscience, common sense is all you need. Nice vid Henry my man. 💎👌
Excelent Henry! Just in time for me. Followed the instructions and it was just as easy.
More of those please!

Great video!! Really like this format... Do more videos like this on forks, brakes drivetrain etc...
Keep them coming!!
Awesome work! Love the format, Henry!
Great stuff, thank you! full guides like this are one more great addition to the great range of gmbn content!

That information is more important in some ways as if I cannot confidently get it off and back on the bike, then I can't service it.
Very helpful video, thanks! Can you do another video just like this but for forks please?
Thank you for doing this. More please!
Awesome video, makes the service so much less daunting.. really awesome format, loved it. Thank you. Off I go to service me shock.
Finally... a service video y real time... 😃👏👏👏🚲🌲
Great vid and the red face at 12:52 was amusing :)
Please mor of this !
Especially the "real time" feature is so relaxing :-)
This is great!! Would love the same kind of video for a fork service and maybe even both coil fork and coil rear shock
If your struggling to reseat the Can then slowing down the rebound to minimum helps.
A cheap 1 - 3mm syringe is good for adding an accurate quantity of float fluid to the can.
I also personally crack the Can on the bike then remove the shock.. much better than putting a hex through the eye IMO.
Awesome video guys keep making great videos
Thanks Mike 🤘
Great tutorial. Can always learn something new from the show.
Will you possibly make a video on the 200 hour service on a Rockshox?
200 hour service video please!! Figuring out the IFP and changing the oil out of the reservoir is tricky. There are videos, but only in Italian!!
Great video yet again guys. Very helpful
Great video! Would be lovely if you did a more thorough service, and also if you made a video about coil shocks.
Thank you. Loved this video so much, I'm now going to service my shock whilst playing this video.
[Edit]
Just services my Manitou Radium Expert. The video was perfect. I struggled getting the air cover off, so went back to removing it with it attached to the bike. Worked a treat with just hands and no strap. Struggled getting back on but that's because I want applying enough pressure when twisting
Great video dude. Need more of these.
Excellent video. More more more.
Hey Henry, you mentioned a video on filling scratches and notches on the shaft. Can you link that please! Would be great!
the real-time stuff is awesome
I felt you where so much more informative than SRAM’s videos. Thank you.
Really enjoyed this live time video. Great concept!
I heard it helps to turn the rebound to the slowest position before screwing on the air can so you're not fighting the stanchion release.
Great video, thank you, I see my self doing what you are doing, since if I'm not being carefull when doing my mechanic it will cost me money in the long in the run. Keep it up, love your videos.
Could you maybe go a bit further, like a full rebuild or damper replacement on a rear shock?
The guy can't even do an air can service correctly. You sure wouldn't want him to show you how to fuck up your damper. Go to ridefox.com/help if you want to learn how to properly do it.
@@AzizBike what did he do wrong in this service? would love to know
@@TheCurryMunchers1 absolutely nothing, this guy's just being an asshole.
Can I see a real-time video of Doddy doing his hair, please?
Great video, do more of the same format. I think this type of video works better at setting a process for maintenance and general care. Thanks.
I love these kinds of videos
Great guide! Henry, your videos are so helpful! Thanks. :)
always gettin that Bob Ross vibes from Henry
Great video Henry, liked the style and the little extra tips. Could you do a service on a Lyrik next please.
Very nice would like a coil shock service
Coil shock Service would be great. Got a RockShox kage
Great video henry!
Loved it, thanks for the same shoot, would love to see more of these video's..
Dropper post service vid would be great 😀👍
Some cans use fox float fluid in both halves not just the bottom half. Also if you depress the air valve while you are putting back on the can you don't have to remove it.
Ace video, fork service would be great also thanks
Top stuff guys. This is the next job I want to do on my bike so an impeccably timed video and very helpful.
Forks, droppers, brakes and wheel truing in the same format please 🤙
This is the first bike video ever one could confuse with Bob Ross (Joy of painting) :D
Great vid Henry. Had some great tips off you since you've been at GMBN. Fork uppers would be good and the duration between this sort of service.
Great video mate
Great video! Front fork service please
Brilliant. More please
More videos like this please!!!
Nice one Henry.. 😎
Totally loved it!!
Yes loved it followed along too 👍👊
Henry is the man lol asmr
Lower leg service would be nice to see.
And maybe an air shaft change - i.e. Yari 160 to 170mm.
Very helpful. Thanks!
RockShox actually recommends 15w50 oil. Which is quite thick and not a thin suspension fluid like here. I guess the thicker one will last longer?
Great demo, thanks.
Can you make a guide with oils for shocks and forks?
