Best explanation on how shocks work. Seeing the insides at work made all the difference. Good one🤟
You had your damper cylinder upside down. The compression adjustment is on the top. That is why that giant air bubble was mixing with the oil. That actually hurts damping performance. If the cylinder was the right way up, the air would have been above the compression piston, and the air would not mix with the oil.
Yea! Because it causes cavitation when that happens.
The way he held it you mean?
Or you are talking about sth in its structure?
@@pishi_man He held it upside down. The rod that slides in and out should have been at the bottom.
Yeah look at 12.08 aswell whare he's saying the volume tokens go! Half way down under the seal 😂 geez this video's most confusing ever needs to be remade
I watched dozens of fork maintenance videos before taking mine apart, none of them mentioned that there is a type that has only springs in both sides.
Apart from the damper being upside down like everyone else pointed out, it's worth mentioning that the bottomless tokens are installed ABOVE the upper seal, not below. Like in the damper stanchion, the chamber above is connected to the main spring chamber by channels. That's why the tokens are only limiting the air volume without changing the actual travel of the fork.
what the fork
Best explanation I have seen so far on the fork mechanics and dynamics. Thanks!
yo u totally nailed it...been looking for clarity on compression dampening for ages ...thanx
your explanation answers all my questions, thank
love your channel man, always giving a deeper understanding of the mechanics behind our ride.
Really good explanation. It has been difficult for me to find that kind of video. And really clear even for a spanish talker like me. Now I can clearly understand how does the fork work.
hey, i'm brazilian and i really aprecciate this video, bcz here in youtube brazil, there isn't videos explaining how this type of suspensions works. Thank you boy, success to you!
Learned so much!
Much easier to understand when you can see what's going on in your fork. Thank you for making the video and explaining🙏
Amazing explanation. Just what I wanted to see. Thanks!
Thank you for your explanation. It's so easy to understand!! Super helpful
I think you had the rebound upside down
Best explanation of suspension forks ever. On my shopping list.
Thanks Dude, Now I understand. Made adjustments. Will do again on the trail.
Thank you for your explanation. It's so easy to understand!!
Greetings from the UK, and thank you for this superb explanation.
Great video, perfect explanation! Thank you !
Just blown away, best suspension explanation I've ever seen
Super helpful and really interesting, thanks for putting this out there!
Brilliant explanation. Worth the time.
Very well explained - thank you!
Grrrreat tutorial! Finally someone who took the job really seriously and got us, forknerds from oblivious bumping over trees to scientifically supported cruising through the woods :D Love the dummies!
Great video! Clear explanation!
Excellent video 👍👌👏!! Thank you!
Im returning to serious MTBing after 20 years away...
hahaha the last suspension I saw the inside of was the 1998 base model Rock Shocks (was it a Judy? ...me thinks yes!)
They were toys back then...plastic air springs both sides...this is completely different. This is easily as sophisticated as the Ohlins motocross suspension I used to use on my dirtbikes.
Now I understand the cost, and see the value...even if other companies have different methods to achieve the same things those things are really being addressed (Hi/Low speed compression and rebound dampening) My hope was to see this level of sophistication and I am not disappointed. thanks again
Very clear explanation! Very interesting
Thank you for this lesson i don't really know whats inside or the operation of Lock out fork even to adjust..now i know !😁💪 thanks!
So kind explanation!! Many thanks!!
Great video and lighting quality, audio quality, and English 👍 overall very helpful and professional
Nicely done!
Thank you so much for the lesson
You're genius🖤
This is a good video, many thanks
Thank you very much I finally understood how forks and its functions work! 😁
That is really useful for riders, thanks
Excellent Explanation Bro
Excellent content. Thanks m8 !
Thank you! Easy to understand, I get it now!
Great explanation, thanks dude.
Great, i learned something from you sir. Thank you so much.
Thanks man! Very clearly described.
Very nice. Well explained. Thank you Sir.
This video makes me want to take apart my SiD and clean everything.
Gracias por tu clara explicación! Necesitaba entender como funciona para poder reparar.
Your videos is informative sir.. gives me a lot of info..
THX for your good explained!!!
Great explanation!
Nice explanation how suspension works
Das beste Erklär- Video zum Thema Gabel i've ever seen!!! 😅🤘🏻👍🏻👌🏻💪🏻
The best explanation i0ve found. Thanx :D I guess the rear suspension's are the same... Air & coil.
it would be great to have thos models with transparent cases to view the inside of the forks and the rear shocks :D
great video! very informative, do you have a video about repairing hydraulic lockouts?
Thank you so much, great video, simply explained and i understood everything! Great job you got a new subscriber! :)
Dang. A very good explanation
being an engineer, i always think how we take things for granted never thought how it actually works , good job #SickBiker
Also makes a good case for the latest damper designs from Fox and Rock Shox using bladders or sealed chambers separating the oil from the air and preventing the foaming or "cavitation" which may lead to unpredictable dampening characteristics.
awesome vid, great props
Great video!
Good explanation
And good english lesson for me
That was Awesome!!
Hello there. Great video! Thank you for taking the time to make it. Where did you get the props?
Very informative, great job 🤟
Great video thank you
Can you make video on how to disassemble and rebuild step by step on manitou markhor fork.
Very good explaination
great explanation... thanks
Can you make a video on Cannondale DL50 Headshok by any chance? such as 'How it's constructed, how the shock works and how to service it on a regular basis' and etc. Thanks!
Thanks man! English is not my first language but I still understood everything.
Hi, thank you for this well done and very informative video. I'm struggling with a strange problem with my hydraulic (manitou) fork. Lock out function suddenly stopped working, I disassembled it and I found that the plunger have some existing-through-holes in it (that cant be closed by the handle bar command), besides the locking valve that should do the trick. I don't understand how it could ever lock the fork while some holes are always open. Any clue about the principle of whole thing? Thanx
Nice one, mate!
Very good video. I'm wondering how forks and shocks can have different rebound and compression adjustments for high and low speed.
great job!
Thank you!
Great explanation thanks :)
Great Video Thank you!!! 😉💗
As some folks has said, you explain the rebound side upside down, the compresion knob is the upper one, and the rebound knob is lower one, near the drops
Очень познавательно, спасибо!
Mega gut erklärt 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice..thank you bro..
Pretty straight forward analogy for explaining bike suspension from rider's perspective and good job for the demonstration of suspension parts!
However, there are some points need corrections or better explanation to not misleading non-suspension enthusiast viewers.
6:16 That is the upper part where the compression or lock-out knob located (at your hand reach when you ride).
10:29 I think you wanted to refer to the dimple on the wall of air-spring cylinder tube which has main job is to balance the pressure between positive and negative chamber. Some forks will need a bit of cycling the fork to equalise the pressure, but some new forks nowadays may not need to. Some claim that having dimple at zero travel can affect small bump sensitivity...
11:03 The polymer spacer (Topout bumper) in the negative spring chamber is supposed to work as cushion when fork fully extended. (I'm not sure if this scenario is called 'off the top'?...please correct me if I'm wrong) For bottom-out cushioning, some forks has polymer spacer in lower leg to take the hit from stanchion, some cheap coil spring forks has polymer rod in the positive spring chamber to do that task.
Good explain thanks
Very useful props
Thanks you. Sir!
thanks for this!
Very helpful
great :D
will you make a Manitou video?
Great video. No one seems to cover suspension oil weight, tho.
Great video ! i watched 25 videos and just didnt click. I watched yours ....Boom ! it all made sense! lol. thank you
Thanks for ur helfpul tutorial my fwnds
Good job
Brilliant !!!
loved it. thanks...
Thank you ...
Very useful anyway!! But...for exapmple. I have a problem on my Fox talas 2009 (that has open bath system) and suddenly it starts to compress till the end only with my weight (and spread oil from the damper side). The air pressure in the right side is constant, it doesn't lose air. I'm wondering where could it be the issue ... i still had a good quantity of oil on the damper side bath when i opened it (lockout anyway doesn't work at all). I don't think that changing the dust seals would make any difference about it (or am I wrong?).
This was so amazing for me to watch and learn from!
I had no idea that each of the front forks do different things! Engineering is so awesome!
I live in india, i am 44 years old, im new to current MTB tech although ive been oggling all these youtube videos for years now.
I used to cycle more than i walked during my schooling days. My bicycle was called the StreetCat RockNRoll ❤😂 The coolest bike available in the 90s in india 😅 Cool dad i have!
I still havent ridden a 27.5. I stopped a stranger and rode his 29er recently, felt like i was riding a horse, so awkward!! 😂
I'm traveling to thailand and excitedly waiting to ride a cycle trail and hopefully pick up a frame and suspension and cranks to build a cycle cheaper than they sell in india.
I ride agressive street, like climbing down stairs and wheelieing and well not stoppies anymore cuz im freakin 80kgs now (still very fit though).
I guess my reason for rambling is im hoping to find hints and suggestions for minimum requirements for my dream cycle build.
Okay, sorry for rambling! Thank u for this excellent video!
Very well said
good knowledge bro
Thanks..
Good day! Is that demo cartridges? They are transparent and thats looks cool!
Do you have any ideas about KASTLE HDB suspension fork?
Please kindly reply me
