You are doing the lords work with these service videos. You have probably saved me $1000 bucks at this point (or more) from taking this stuff to the suspension shop. Thanks!
Now that really makes me feel like these videos can truly make a difference for people. All I can ask is that once you feel comfortable doing these jobs, you help your ride buddies with them so you can all enjoy a better overall experience. Thanks for sharing this. 👍 More videos to come 🤙
Thank you VERY much Francisk for your generous donation and the kind words. It's VERY much appreciated. Whatever this channel makes goes towards a local trial I help maintain. Your donation will definitely put a smile on many people's faces. 👏🙏👍Thanks again and more videos to comes. 🤙
Just a heads up, The pillow packs are not required anymore. Fox says to use 20w gold in place of float fluid, meaning you can use the same in both fork and shock. If you got them, use them, but don’t bother if you already got a lot of 20w Gold. See their updated service manuals.
For real? That's the reason some kits have them and others don't? It's been hit and miss over the past year, but I really noticed it this past spring. I bought about a dozen 50-hour kits during the Planet cyclery fire sale, and 4 of them didn't have the pillow pack in them. I literally thought it was a bad batch. It sort of sucks if they completely stop adding a pillow pack to the kit. The vast majority of people only need a pillow pack for the 50 hour. More handy than a bottle. Thanks for updating me on the change. I haven't read the service manual on this shock for a while and wasn't aware of the change. There are so many things to keep up with in the world these days, I don't know if my brain can handle it anymore! 😵💫
Hey really appreciate the videos, they have been a godsend to reference when servicing my suspension for the last couple years. Excited to see a X2 damper rebuild tutorial, hopefully! Cheers!
I am glad to hear that some of the videos have been helpful for you. Assuming you mean the new grip x2 (my mind thinks the shock when I hear X2, which I've posted a video on a 2019 and need to edit a video for a 2022 that will be posted soon), I'll be making a video on one for sure. It's just a question of time. 👍
Hello. When are you going to do a video on servicing a 2022 FOX DPS Factory Series remote operated? Same question for the 2022 FOX Float 34 FIT4 STEP-CAST remote operated .Thank you, you are the best!
I can't offer an actual time frame, but both are relatively popular around here, so I'm sure it will be sooner than later. It's just a question of timing. Now that I think about it, I received a call from a buddy two weeks ago before I left town who asked if I can swap the remotes on both his shock and fork to regular dials. but I think his bike is a 2024 or 23. I'll ping him when I'm back in town
Question for you @ZoubTube! I have a Fox Float 2024 (DPS successor). It has a Torx screw rather than the Delrin plug at the bottom. I had a moment of bad judgement and unscrewed that after the shock was depressurized and air can was unscrewed. It did seem like a very small hiss of air came out when I undid this screw. Do I need to pump it back up to 550 PSI, or is the Torx screw just a grub seal covering the valve inside?
You and me both! This shock really hasn't changed all that much since the RP2. You would think that they would have done this by now. I know that the biggest reason is cost savings. At scale, it is MUCH quicker to fill them by needle than by adapter, and they have made a few million of these inline shocks over the years. But still, Rockshox obviously figured it out. The least they can do is offer it as an upgrade option

Simply the best. 👍
Thank you sir. More videos coming
Great video as always!

i don't understand why fox don't put a valve in IFP like rockshox...

Mate, your subscriber count is criminally low. I'm off to scream about you on as many forums as I can think of 👍🏻
Thanks btw.
Thank you for the support and your generosity. Any help spreading the word would be amazing. Thanks again and more videos to come! 👍
