RockShox SUPER DELUXE 50 Hour Service Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- The 50 hour service comes around all to often if you ride as much as I do, and personally my service interval is usually much longer, until now. Let me show you how easy it is to do this necessary maintenance on your rear shock.

Thanks for the vid. I was looking for a vid to answer the questions question about the oil.. 😂 I wasn't sure of it all went in one side or not..
Nice correction 😊. Answered my question. Thanks
For get the Air can better on, put a piece of old tube on the table. place the bearings on the tube and press the can with your body weight down, works really easy.
Thanks for the video. Do you happen to know how much more work would be involved in replacing the lower shaft while doing this. I got a little scratch from a crash that I filled and sanded smooth but I figure I might as well replace it too if I have it all apart.
Afaik it's fairly difficult due to the dampener being contained within the stanchion. There are a ton of small parts and possibly some specialty tools necessary.
What I've done in the past to my front fork stanchions, like you, is filed off any burs and carefully got it as smooth as possible. Then I thinly layered clear enamel nail polish over the top to bring the height up level with the sides. And re-sanded it with I think 800 then 1500 or 2000 grit. It's been almost 2 years and it's still holding up great. It's all in the prep work though so take your time if you go this route. That's my 2 cents lol. Thanks for watching the video!
@@descentmtb7271 thanks for your response. Yeah I did exactly what your process was. I even went over the final piece with Meguiars Scratch x and then car wax. It seems fine so I guess I’ll just continue riding it as it is and do the basic maintenance. Last thing I want to do is buy more specialty bike tools!
After i did the service on mine I noticed a grinding metal noice on the damper is that normal?
Good video thanks for the help👍
No problem, I'm stoked your putting it to good use!
Hi does someone know if the Rocks Shox Superdeluxe Select has a look out?
Nice video , thank's !!!!
Glad to help!
what strap wrench are you using? because mine cant hold a grip for shit. Here is the one I currently have. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NBGOW9E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Can you provide a link to the service kit you purchased?
For sure here you go! Now I got my kit from the local bike shop but the link below is the exact one you need.

@@descentmtb7271 $3 worth of washers for $36...I hate rip offs like this. Edit: ok they are bigger than they look in the picture. $10 worth then :p
"Who knows... maybe dog hair is the secret to suspension travel." hahaha sweet as i'll have the best travel going round!
As another commenter said though - clean the externals before you start to avoid contamination!
Otherwise, thanks mate - definitely makes life easier when you have a full walk through for your exact shock :)
Is this as good as DPS ?
Better
Where did you get that strap tool?
Pretty sure I got it from an auto parts store.
Nice weld job on that frame...🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Mark, I'm sure you and your astute observation skills already noticed this but it a 2016 Transition Patrol and it's a great bike.
@@descentmtb7271 It might be. Dont be so sensitive... could be a great bike but there welds suck. That's ok
@@descentmtb7271 by the way I am a observation specialist... work in the law enforcement and legal areas ...
I am amazed that a bike with that frame quality would have a Super Deluxe on it
Hey again Mark, It's held up perfectly well over the past 3 years I've owned it.
I have had the super delux on my evil wreckoning and my guerilla gravity megatrail. I rode the evil hard for a long time and my megatrail was a demo bike at my friends bike shop, getting loaned put to God know who, for a year and a half. They both held up and performed extremely well. That being said, I would much rather have a fox X2, but the super delux is a great shock. It just lacks some adjustment compared to the fox high end shocks.
@@Jordan-W how did the Super Delux work out ?
@@marklane8248 Quite well, I never had an issue with either one and was quite happy with their performance. The only downside, as compared to othe brands top line shocks, is the lack of independant high and low speed compression and rebound adjustments. But you really only get that on the fox X2 or a push 11-6 both of which cost a good bit more money.
@@Jordan-W TU
What's with the gloves? What happen to getting your hands greasy and dirty ...
Hey Mark, you want to keep unnecessary dirt and grease from getting into the internals of the shock. It's most likely why your shock is not performing well and you're watching this video.
I am doubling up your comments as well... but you will never see a professional mechanic working on any internal component without nitrile gloves, it is just a bad idea.
What is your obsession with this guy?
Your supposed to put half the pillow pack in before you bit the sleeve on and the rest after it’s on 🙄
If my mechanic showed up with nice clean fingers and no grease in his nails I would run away...
Hey Mark, just to inform you of personal hygiene, you are supposed to wash your hands.
