Knowing how to set up the suspension on your mountain bike might seem like a tough task but after watching this video, you will have the knowledge and skills to set up your MTB suspension yourself. No more asking friends, mechanics, or your neighbor, this video will take you through the basics of tuning your mountain bike suspension. That includes measuring and setting sag, dialing in compression, and setting your rebound. In this video, we adjust the settings on a Fox Float X2 rear shock and a Fox 38 fork, but the process will be very similar on different suspension brands like RockShox, DVO, and Marzocchi. Without the proper suspension setup, your bike won't ride as it should, you will have less fun, and you might even crash because of it. Don't be stuck dealing with these problems! Grab a shock pump and few other tools and follow along as Liam takes us through his process for basic MTB suspension setup.

What else do you want to know about MTB suspension setup?
Nothing, I would like to see a video about servicing the fork an shock .
@@elias-di3bi That is very specific to each model, the manufacturer of your fork or shock probably has a video about that
Rear coil next please!
is it the same in the bomber z1
While setting the sag, where should the compression settings be?
Really helpful vid if people are unsure of exactly how to adjust their settings, but not necessarily how to find those settings for yourself. Would love a video of Liam doing the tests on his trail with his notepad and explaining what too much compression feels like etc
do a 'how to get my life straight' video... would help out a lot!
😂
Do how to fine tune a kazzoo plz
😁
I came for the comedy......realized there was no comedy and stayed for the wonderfully detailed tutorial... Great job Liam!
The new setup looks realy good
Super helpful! Can't wait to see Liam's deeper dive on suspension setups! My first dual sus trail bike is coming soon and this topic is totally high on my list of stuff I need to learn! Great vid!
Just what the doctor ordered! So well presented....I will definitely feel more confident setting up new bike 👌
Just bought a new 2023 Yeti 160 and it's been 10 yrs since I bought a new moutain bike and let me say BOY have things changed! Thank you for the help with understanding my new suspension as it's much needed!
Love the new setup it looks really good
Now my suspension is going to be #dialed. Thanks Liam. Sick studio setup by the way
that is hashtag #epic
Definitely best video about suspension setup so far!!! Bike looks sick!!!
That was an outstanding video. Good information and well presented. Thanks!
I'll be saving this vid for spring setup. Thank you
Loved it... Note Pad 📝 is Key! Treat it like a suspension bible so whenever you move up or down you always know where you were coming from.. especially since trails and conditions change so frequently ✌🏼😎
Also can make notes in your phone, or even on Strava, sometimes I note my tire PSI, suspension settings, etc., in the Strava description if needed
Your expertise is admirable and much appreciated.
Good video guys. I've had good success with this style of basic set up before on Lyriks. I am struggling now though. I have an Ohlins RXF 36 Evo and I just can't seem to get it where I want. The Ohlins recommended settings are crazy hard and mean I am using maybe 60% travel, even on pretty gnarly trails and feeling absolutely everything through my hands. I've got things a bit better now by reducing the pressure in the both chambers, but now I have a fork that still feels very firm and unreactive to trail chatter, whilst simultaneously using 90% of travel on almost any trail. Feeling pretty stuck!
This is the best video i've seen so far regarding suspension set up.
Great video, thank you! I’m a newbie so I need to learn everything! I have 2 bikes but ride my Orbea Rise M-LTD 98%. ❤️🚴♀️
Definitely one the best descriptions and how to video to follow! Just all about the suspension bike daft stories here n there like others and you loose your constantraion!
I have this fit 4 on my 38s I'm just back into biking got my cube 160 action team on Saturday so getting it set up for it's first outing slightly different shocks but understand this video alot more than other's
I have the concept down of suspension set up but Liam broke it down the best I have seen to date. Nice job, Sir!
I’ve been needing this!
Nice lighting! Loving the new setup!
Thanks 🍻
This was helpful enough I just had to comment that it was a well explained and detailed video👌🏻
More of Liam's Tech Tips please!!
This was the best video I’ve seen in a long time about this stuff! Thank you!!
Great instructional Video Bruh... Thanks for the help !
Great video, congrats and thanks.
new setup looks nice
Great video guys 👌
Man I know all about this stuff but I'm still watching!
Awesome tutorial. Thank you!
Sick video👍🏼😁
Loved this, thanks
Great video!
How it didn't appear on my updated subs video? this is just the video that i was looking for 👍
Looking forward to the ‘’advanced’’ one 🤙🏼
Can You do coil next
thank you.very informative vlog!!!
You guys should do a basic video on servicing forks and rear shocks. They all may be a bit different but kinda the overall philosophy behind what's going on for a basic lower leg/air can service. I need to do it lol.
Been waiting for Liam to do a video like this! Even though my suspension isn't very high end it's still nice to know how to set your own suspension up.
I've always set my fork sag standing but the readings were always inconsistent. Hearing him say set it sitting down so the readings are always the same was a penny that should have dropped for me long ago! Cheers!
Why does it feel that Jeff is going to try to get the 3rd base with us thru the new set up? #moodlighting #entlife
😂 Yep... I think it's too dark and feels the same as you do. But the gents running the camera are in love with this emo artsy style... Oh well...
Well done.
Can you make a "addendum" for coil shocks like setting sag, and any other coil settings (I'm not sure if there are any others) also new setup is awesome
This is great I just bought a 36 fox and I think this perfect timing and by a professional named liam!!
Also watch Dialed series by Fox
Super well done video. As to be expected from Worldwide Cyclery :}
This is very helpful, and so are the links in the description. Did part 2 ever come out? Couldn't find it after searching the video catalog. Wondering if I'm terrible at searching (likely) or if part 2 hasn't come out yet.
Thanks for video! I love it 감사합니다 에띠 프래임 좋나요?
Would like to know more on mtb suspension servicing like the damper on forks
Liam's explanation just makes me want to upgrade my six-month old shock and forks...LOL Great job Liam! Jeff should be proud...
Thanks foe the great tips. How do you account for adjustments on the trail based on conditions, such as opening up for more downhill chunky stuff, or closing up for long climbs? Or do you not recommend making those adjustments?
Amazing to have Tom Cruise talk about mountain bikes
😂
Thanks so much
That sag for rear vs front % is for more DH or enduro. For trail riding you'll want more the same front/rear.
Top video 🤘🏻
Little question with sag adjustments/measurements has the saddle to be in the lowest position (dropperpost) when sitting down as in the video??
Or in the riding position with the dropperpost at max height?
Gr. Mischa
Yes, I’m utterly confused. I’ll keep watching 👍🏻
Very informative video well explained and made.
I heard you mentioned that you base your initial setup from what is recommended by YETI and Fox. With that I tried to search one for my 2020 Nomad V4 with Fox X2 rear shock and Fox 36 Factory Series 170mm HSC/LSC/FIT but I can't seem to find one. Can you point me to the right direction or is there anything you can recommend? I'm weighing around 70kgs. Thank you in advance.
Great video, can we get this treatment on Rockshox? Lyrik and super deluxe to be specific....
what do you set compression & rebound to when setting your sag on fork and shock?
When do you know when to use the bike manufacturers specs and when to use the component's? I downloaded the Rockshox spec book for my fork and rear suspension and was intending to use that for all tune ups. Is it only the rear suspension sag that should follow the bike specs? Pick up my first full suspension in about a month, 2021 Commencal Meta TR, and really enjoying getting into the technical side already.
Nice shirt!
Thanks
Should do COIL shock set ups next.
Thank you for sharing the information i got my sb130lr set up mint now.
Do you need your rebound fully open when setting up sag?
Dang a super wide scope of sag suggested there , sag makes a huge difference too , most seem to run between 25 to 30% . The recommendations in this video are a bit of an eye opener and shockwizz does not agree with imbalanced sag either but you cant please all the AI i guess , what have i been doing wrong my whole life?!? 27.5% both ends over in my garage plush and good for my casual rides
Thank
Sorry for asking, but what does fully closed mean? Is it the slowest setting or the fastest?
what are Liam's thoughts on cascade components? just bought the SC hightower link.
Do I set sag with the clickers all the way open?
How do I set the sag on my old lady?
Tips for not loosing like 50psi when you unhook the shock pump? 😅
You could have covered shocks with two cans, like the Suntrour TriAir I have that I am completely clueless what and why to set the pressure of the "2ndary can" to.
Also, EVOL DPS 130mm, 0.6 volume spacer. I am getting up to 260PSI (with some leak on disconnect) before I bottom out on 2 foot drops. 200LBS weight. Does it sound like too much?
I get excessive bottom outs on my rear shock on drops. I've put largest volume spacer, but it didn't really fix anything.
No matter what sag, 30%, 25%, 20%, 15%. I still manage to fully blow travel. I'm pretty lightweight tho. Could it be that I need new shock? I ride Fox Float RP23 from 2010-11. 140mm rear travel.
so is SAG only measured on the "external" part of the shaft? (what you can see and measure) as I understand part of the shaft is under the actual body of the shock. So as long as I measure that 30% only on that part I'm good? regardless of the make/model? thanks!
**Question** How do you remove the shock : fork pump without losing air? I seem to lose some air when unthreading the pump from the valve.
I have always been a little confused on the X2 set up as I have one on my RM altitude C70 2018. I see that fox recommends 10-12 LSR for 150 PSI (for 2020), but you L Dawg says 14? can you explain? I know that is not a significant difference but I don't see the connection. Thanks!
My bottom cap is missing from the bottom of my 2010 WC Boxxer. How do I adjust now? Do I just use an Allan key?
Does it matter if the seat is up or down when setting sag
TRYING TO FIND MY SETUP FOR THE REAR FOX TRIAD AND MY FRONT 2010 ROCKSHOX WC BOXXERS
That's a nice featherweight sun hoodie you got there. How'd you get that? 😏
EVOL DPS: impossible to disconnect shock pump without loosing lots of air, 15-25PSI...on 2 diff. pumps, one having "no leak " valve. I am starting to think shock valve is shot. Thoughts ?
How often you should meassure sag?
Why is are the clicks on the grip 2 LS compression so hard to feel.
I'm sold
I have a 2020 factory 36 170mm. I have not liked it at any point. I have messed with all the settings and sag,spacers etc and it's just completely lifeless. It doesn't have any spring to it. There is a faint clicking noise in the fork when compressed. It's also sort of notchy in the travel. It sucks the energy out of my ride and is also harsh.
I wrongly put 150 psi on a fox 34 fork with 120 psi max.
When I noticed, I correct it without run the bike.
Can this cause any issue?
What about extra weight for riding gear?
am i able to use my WP shock pump for my dirt bike on my mountain bike?
great vid but confused about how much air you put in the fork as you said 83psi which equates on the Fox chart to a 91-95 kg rider? You look very slim - am i missing something? thanks
Thanks guy fan mecanic in the learning of the pressure sag so compressión rebound #supension #setup adjustbl for thes jumps so fast flow trails 🗣️yyaasicke. Saluds of chile 🇨🇱 guy's of. Worldwide 🤘😀 Cyclery
Great vid! What setting was the rear shock at? I am assuming it has three settings. assend desend and rigid.
You set the setting in the fully open/ descend mode
Do you set sag with rebound fast or slow?
Is it possible to remove shockers on my bike, and if so, will it break my bike if i remove the shockers? And if it doesn't break the bike, how can i exactly remove the shockers?
9:20
Caught that too lol
Big hard ones
What about when you want to make an fine tuning adjustment to the high speed later... Will it also be changing the low speed since both knobs turn?
No it will not
9:21 what did he say?! Just kidding, awesome video just what I was looking for as a MTB newb
Do you open up the rebound for sag measurement?
