Beginner's Guide to Suspension Fork Maintenance: Adding Volume Spacers

In this video I go over step by step how to install volume spacers/reducers to you suspension fork at home. I would love if you would subscribe to the channel and help a dude out lol.

So adding spacers makes the air compress and resist compression quicker. This would create a shorter stroke and harsher ride would it not?

[@iwantmymtb]

Does not create a shorter stroke, just ramps up more through the stroke. Less linear

[@glidealong1171]

What does this do to the feel at the top of the stroke? Does it feel plusher or can you run less pressure for a plush feel?

[@iwantmymtb]

I found that you can run a little less air but it definitely has a more progressive feel

[@marklouieadame]

It will not be plush and will most likely limit the bottom out or travel lets say you do trail riding if you have 3 spacers you will feel harsh feeling. If you jump and do high drop 2-3 spacers are required
