I feel this man would be not only my mechanic but even my psychotherapist
This gentleman is a suspension genius
Not really lol. Just different tone. Try ask Morgan Freeman to narrate suspension setup. With Han Zimmer as scoring. And directed by Christopher Nolan.
That would be EPIC O.O! lolz
Hahaha, love it! Bob Ross of suspension!
:D
While I'm certainly no novice when it come to suspension setup, I still really enjoyed this..... Great info, laid out in easily to understand terms and the interviewer didn't interrupt with a bunch of useless replies. Well done guys!
ThunderStruckCoach well put. I totally agree.
This man has the enviable skill of talking sense, while performing a delicate mechanical operation. For me it's either-or.
This is the best technical video I have seen in quite some time. Chris Porter took a deep dive into the material rather than just handing out factory spec. guidelines. Although he suggested baselines he explained what to look for while adjusting for terrain/surface and rider style. Great explanations! Thanks so much! That was a true Master Class.
Here I an one year later to seccond that. I would like to add that the reporter was great by staying silent and letting the master teach, his tone overflows knowledge and commands attention with ease... beautifull... as a newbie learned so much from this great video... I'm watching this 2 years later, still spot on.
@@arfmfwell said!
This is probably one of the best suspension setup video's I've watched. I love how the focus is on setting it up to the rider. Notice how he glossed over sag/air spring rate and said that will change based on how hard you're pushing the bike. Explaining how he gets balanced and focusing on no compression unless needed to adjust ride high in certain sections of trail is huge. Much much better than the other sag/rebound/compression setup videos.
ASMR for mountainbike guys. Loved this. Lots of good information. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely no nonsense set up tips and recommendations. He knows his stuff.
love his honesty. "don't use that" (the high speed compression on the fork). saying you should try to get the air pressure and volume spacers to do the work of getting it balanced and correct before you start using compression. Good stuff
Who knew Ser Jorah knew so much about suspension
Dude was awesome. Love his chill demeanor. Need more like him around.
That was so soothing to watch
That's a great 12 minutes. He really knows his stuff.
How amazing would it be to have him setup our bikes! I've got missed feelings after watching this video. On one hand I now realize just how amazing a proper suspension setup it. On the other hand I'm wondering if I will ever even come close to knowing enough to get my suspension dialed in. Even if I think my suspension is dialed in today I'm going to wonder if it could be better. Great video!
Regular Guy Mountain Biking don’t obsess over it. Just ride your bike.
Great video, Im a return mountain biker after an 18 year gap. Sooo much to learn. My other bikes were coil so good to get an understsnding. Ive had to learn all the riding skills again so Im not very agressive out on the track. I was only using half the travel from other recommended setups. I see now that I need to set it up for me and by current riding style. Thank you for this, great vid!
Love the background info on *why* you would bother with some of these settings. Best suspension set-up vid I have seen in a while!
This video will eventually end up on one of those unintentional ASMR channels with a zillion views. Great info and very soothing.
Really enjoyed this. Gave me a lot to think about with my setup on my Fox 36 and X2. I'd be stoked to see more content like this.
By far the most educational suspension setup i've ever watched!!!! Thanks for the great info
over complicated load of bollox my head is hurting.
This is so good. I've been thinking about low speed compression a lot lately and this really set off a lightbulb for me. Using LSC to load either the front or the rear during corners is something that would have taken me a long time to come up with.
Really great video ! I have watched a lot of suspension setup vids so far, but this is really one of the best.
what is the meaning of life?........ suspension setup....... suspension setup is the meaning of life.
Hahahaha
Bloody thank you, I was going bonkers with the x2 setup
Enjoyed every second of this video! Nicely and understandable explanation, more info here than most 20min or more suspension videos!
I m already curious for your next posts. Good job guys!! 👌
This video makes me feel like I set up my bike completely wrong.
You’re not wrong
That guy could teach anything and make it interesting and easy to learn! Great video guys!
Great explanation thanks. I lock the fork on my HT on smooth standup climbing,for support.
I took notes! Very informative
SIr, I need you in my life. Suspension angel of some sort!!
I finally know how to set up rebound. This lad is suspension God
Jorah has recovered well from the greyscale
best explanation ever
This was really helpful, thanks!
This was an amazing video!
He should be a genius to match a 34 fork with an x2 shock
Thim can you explain what you mean by this?
He blesses the suspension.
I like Chris' rebound approximation test of looking at the entire bike as it moves through travel (car park test). Haven't heard that one before.
mate this guy knows his physics
Excellent! Will be using this video to help with my setup. Thanks 👍🏻
Very nicely explained. Even a new understands it.
Some good tips, which ill be trying on tomorrows ride, but now I need this for my Bos DeVille and Bos Kirk , they are a PITA ...
Spot on tutorial mate 👍✋
Thank you.
The brain on this guy
You've never owned a Cane Creek Coil have you...... Complicated?
I have a CCDB, fairly straight forward to set up if you ask me. Just get to understand what the knobs are doing first, then get a good middle setting. Fine tune when riding a familiar track: right amount of lsc so the bike is balanced when cornering and pumping, ride some rocks/roots and see if there's any harshness, meaning the hsc is too heavy, see if it does follow the terrain nicely, if not back down the lsr a bit. Do some lippy jumps and see if the bike's either too bucky (too little hsr) or feels lethargic (slightly too much hsc) then pedal for a bit and feel if the bike's bobbing around too much (too little lsr).
And don't be put off by the number of clicks, really wide range but this can be narrowed down quite a bit to a useable range of about 7-8 clicks, everything outside that are bs settings that you can easily identify as such if you know how a bike should feel.
BIGKEV 61 The Fox has the same adjustments .... its not hard- go with the suggestes base setup and work from there
I got the CCDB coil cs. Is it just me or is it hard to fuck this shocks setting up?
That information was completely lost on me but, I still enjoyed it!
Thank you for teaching sen master!
8:25 great strategy for setting rebound. Something that has always troubled me. Thanks!
Also summer and winter temps will need different rebound speeds because of the chain oil viscosity
I use low speed compression on my hard tail fork to keep the front end higher preserving the geometry.
We need more videos like this
Wow! I didn't know Jorah Mormont knew so much about suspension!!!
Locking out the front is for climbing and sprinting out of the saddle in XC racing.
He is the Oracle of all things springy
I wish they had a mojo in the states..
Ahhh the sound of a gritty fox compression dial on its way to seizing up .... great
I own a hardtail... yet I'm here watching this!
This is ASMR for me
This guy is my hero
Master class indeed!👍🏻
Asking why you would want your front end to ride "higher" while climbing is a bit of a misunderstanding of terms I would think. All it does it to keep the bike from diving in situations where you literally do not need much suspension. I would agree with him. I run full open all the time....but I can understand where a bigger out of the saddle climber may need that "dive protection switch" when climbing.....
i love this guy
Watch it...and watch it again.
Nice seeing hope brakes on a bike.
Crackin legend. Epic boss, mega respect. Good man.
EPIC!!! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!
Can you pls do a review setup tune for the fox dpx2
Excellent informative stuff, thanks
Excellent.
WOW EXCELLENT VIDEO
So awesome. Master Jedi.
cool video!
5:31 RIP Headphone users.
This is some info right here!!!
Great video Chris Porter can you do one video on the fox dpx2 and fox 36 fit4 150 mm boost
Anyone else came with the conclusion he thinks suspensions are overly complicated for no reason at all?
If Thom Yorke says the suspension goes like that you better listen to him!
😂
Perfect
nice man...it was so clear
Im always tweaking with my suspension way too much, wish I can bring it to a place that can set it up perfectly for me.
Jedi of Suspension
does the mismatched stickers on the rims bother anyone else?
colin p finally! Yes, they do!
colin p. Yes!
Didnt even notice with that zip-tied bottlecage!
Its an Orange, its always going to look unsettling.
Great info 👍🏻
Great video but I’m still confused due to conflicting information on the net, I’ve Fox 34 Elite 2017, ride all sorts really but try to stay off fire roads. So the Ride Fox website says 15 to 20% for my model (actually they only list 120mm but mines 130) sag tool provided was for 120 as well. Most other videos including this one state 25 - 30% sag. So in my case rode all the black runs at my local trail centre fairly spicy i would say and only used 70% of my suspension all day. Do i ignore the FOX website and go with 30% which may help me use all my suspension or carry on using 15 - 20% and try volume spacers? Surly fox that designed the fork knows best?
Try a slightly lower pressure in the fork and slightly more sag. Don't add volume spacers, as this will only make it harder to use all the travel.
Mountain Bike Rider thanks for the reply - i meant to say take out a volume spacer - I’ll try more sag and play about with it
Make your rebound fast and balanced. Noted.
Good stuff!
thank*s for that useful lnformations!!!
Thought it was Jorah mormont talking about bikes
Great thank you 🤙
Hi guys...I have a Rockshox revelation series 150mm fork...and I can not put any volume spacers i side becouse there is no thread on the inside of the air cap...those this mean that my fork isn't compatiable with volume spacers or I can buy a threaded volume top cap and put volume spacers inside
You should be able to buy a threaded top cap from SRAM that will let you run bottomless tokens. Cheers
Did he just add one compression spacer in place of the red one? 80 KG myself and running about 170psi and already added one extra in place of the red one (three total) is it safe to run 2 extra total of 4 in a 2.25 shock?
Ok, I weigh 95kg 100 at most. I ride a Giant anthem 2015 27,5 120 F 90mm R. I ride everything actually on this bike. I find it hard to hop a 10cm street curb without hitting denting my rear wheels. It's annoying. I know it's my tire pressure and suspension setup. What do you guys suggest?
I currently run 95psi front and 235psi-240psi in the rear shock. rebound is one thing I don't understand. the rear is very slow just 2 clicks to fully open/slow and the front on fork is like halfway/12clicks (21 clicks altogether)
I run 2.2 rear TR tires 38psi when dry and 28 in wet conditions 2.2 front 35 dry 26psi wet.
Witchcraft!
Well put information
All of a sudden everyone is going to be taking a look at their spacers!
Mountain biking ASMR..... Just sayin
Amazing 😳
what are those rims/wheels they look nice...
Also this guy is sir jorah mormont the shock whisperer
Mind still boggled...what are volume spacers for?
I have one question, please help me guys. I have recommended setting for example 16 click but from what? From fully open which is from left to right? Or otherwise?
Always from full closed, which is fully clockwise.
MBR magazine both shock and fork? Start from fully right and then turn the click left?
Why did you take out the spacer limiter and only put in one reducer? The limiter area is bigger than a reducer
