You didn't add any fluid to the San before you screwed it on. I thought that is an important step. How much fluid should be use and does it need to be "float fluid"? Thanks, Dan Wellborn
Anyone please know a link on how to Service the Top part inc the compression switch. ??? FOX Float RP3 CTD Bought a new one for my bike (trek ex8- 26er) but want to know how to fully service them myself. Shop wants £110 for a full service, they have new ones with the kashima on usa ebay for £180 Great Vid btw...
My shock has started to make a uncomfortable sound when it compresses.. Anyone has any idea whether it is due to fluid, air pressure or does it simply need a service clean?
Just because you don’t know how to do advanced repair on a shock does not mean you should tell people they have to send it to fox. Who do you think fixes the shocks there? The answer is people. people who learned how to do it at some point. Anyone can learn how to fix it so don’t tell them they cant and to just send it to fox.
My local bike shop is a bunch of morons they poured car brake fluid on my brakes as they thought it would work better They stripped my pedals my brand new ones I told them to grease the bottom bracket and they told me it's the pedals that need grease and so they stripped them I'm done with them.
Misleading title, its NOT a shock service, its an air can service, and.... dont use a screwdriver like that as there is a reason why the proper tools and techniques exists, just saying !

Dont you need to put fox float fluid into the air chamber BEFORE final assembly???
I think you missed a step!!
No Park Tool Torque wrench to tighten the frame bolts?
Use the Force?

I fully unscrewed the outer can but it will not release from the top so it is stuck there and I don't want to force (too much)....any ideas?
Will this service work on the DRCV Re:Active rear shock on a 2015 Trek Fuel EX 9.8?

Isn't there supposed to be oil inside that shock somewhere, or is it all air controlled damping?
Yes there's supposed to be according to Fox's website. No idea what these people are doing.
Its wonderful, but whats about nitrogen chamber?
Excelent video!
back in my old days - when mountainbikes had forks with 50 mm tops - and nobody had a rear shock - riding was so easy !
2:02 can I do it to carbon frame?
yos
I think no, you can break the frame
Thanks. Really useful!

would it be the same for DRCV rear shocks?
Fox Float Fluid is very expensive. Does anyone know of an equivalent that will do the same job?
I used some of the heaviest gear oil I had lying around

Great video but next time please use a part that's actually dirty and really needs service.
Why? Either way you still get to see how it's done.
Won't this void the warranty?
Carlos Saavedra Doing this procedure won't, but if you try taking anything else apart it most certainly will.
+BikeRadar You voice... Oh my good it so amazing.
You missed out half the seals lol!!

Fucking hell, always unscrew the complete valve...
