Best explanation on how shocks work. Seeing the insides at work made all the difference. Good one🤟
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.
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
Best explanation I have seen so far on the fork mechanics and dynamics. Thanks!
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.
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!
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!
what the fork
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.
your explanation answers all my questions, thank
love your channel man, always giving a deeper understanding of the mechanics behind our ride.
Best explanation of suspension forks ever. On my shopping list.
yo u totally nailed it...been looking for clarity on compression dampening for ages ...thanx
I think you had the rebound upside down
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
being an engineer, i always think how we take things for granted never thought how it actually works , good job #SickBiker
Thanks Dude, Now I understand. Made adjustments. Will do again on the trail.
Very clear explanation! Very interesting
Brilliant explanation. Worth the time.
Thank you for your explanation. It's so easy to understand!!
thank you❤
This video makes me want to take apart my SiD and clean everything.
Very well explained - thank you!
Super helpful and really interesting, thanks for putting this out there!
Just blown away, best suspension explanation I've ever seen
Great video and lighting quality, audio quality, and English 👍 overall very helpful and professional
Greetings from the UK, and thank you for this superb explanation.
Great video, perfect explanation! Thank you !
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
Thank you very much I finally understood how forks and its functions work! 😁
So kind explanation!! Many thanks!!
Thank you so much for the lesson
You're genius🖤
This is a good video, many thanks
Excellent Explanation Bro
Great explanation!
Thanks man! English is not my first language but I still understood everything.
That is really useful for riders, thanks
Great explanation, thanks dude.
Nice explanation how suspension works
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!
Dang. A very good explanation
Thanks man! Very clearly described.
Thank you! Easy to understand, I get it now!
THX for your good explained!!!

nice models
Thanks
Thanks..
Mega gut erklärt 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good explain thanks
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!
Thank you ...
great :D
will you make a Manitou video?
This explanation answered my question why all fork's down-tube always connected
Great Video Thank you!!! 😉💗
Incredible
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.
good knowledge bro
Thanks for ur helfpul tutorial my fwnds
Very good video. I'm wondering how forks and shocks can have different rebound and compression adjustments for high and low speed.
Beautiful
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 day! Is that demo cartridges? They are transparent and thats looks cool!
