I’m gonna have some trouble communicating how incredibly helpful and in-depth to the extreme that this video was, I now feel like I literally know forks inside and out and feel that I would be confident enough to have a go of the lower leg and air spring service (which I didn’t really know what it was before). So thank you for putting in the huge amount of time to explain this reasonably understandable process in such incredible super extreme detail, and i now know what an air spring is and what it does and how to service it. I love these mechanic Monday videos and look forward to the amazing future episodes!
I completely agree with Rowan ! I’ve never seen such a valuable videos, guides od manuals as those from you ! Have been watching more from you this morning and this one made me subscribing a even expressing my appreciation of you and your way of doing videos. Have been showing this video Today to 2 more friends of mine and we all feel now confident doing this level of servis ourselves. Thank you ! You represent the role model of how guide videos should be done. When you advise to clean inside of guffers/main bushing, you also explain why. When you mention negative chamber, you expain what it is and what it does. Amazing and best ever !
Thanks a ton! I wanted to make a full-on video guide rather than just a 5 minutes video without showing how to actually do the things like every other video out there haha.
@@TheLostCoPlease make a tutorial whit the suntour cadtidge pcs (durolux, auron and aion). In Internet don't have good information and tutorial about this.
@@santiagofuenzalida5168 suntour suspension are good but that's the problem: they are not popular, suntour has made itself known not for their good products, but for their really low end xct/xcm and xcr forks. since they are not populare there aren't any tutorial. suntour website has some video for forks service, check that
If your gonna make a tutorial...go big! All your videos are so comprehensive. Thanks for doing that. It must take so much time to make these videos and your audience takes notice. 👍
Haha thats my attitude for sure! Thanks for thinking about how long this takes, as this video took about 2.5 entire days to finish. But it feels great when the video is done and uploaded 👍👍👍
Omg, legend. Actually full detail and sharing all the nuances and things to look for. Awesome. I wish there was more content like this on UA-cam... Thank you!!!
That is my fork in the video! Thanks Mike, I appreciate the attention to detail and how clean all the prep work was. Now I can service my own fork, but will surely grab the parts from you!
Anytime man! Thanks again for sending that fork in, you'll be stoked on how the fork feels with the new damper and no air stuck in the negative air chamber!
Best fork service/rebuild tutorial I've found online. Newbies like me need this level of detail to avoid screwing something up! Initially I wouldn't have even thought of doing the air spring service with the lowers but now I'm confidently going for it. Thanks for putting in the effort ++++
Man you're a blessing to have in the mountain bike world. All of your videos are so helpful and well made. Cheers for making my DIY bike maintenance and suspension set up a breeze!
I’ve watched many fork servicing videos, some quite good, but none come close to the way you cover everything for the layman. Brilliant and entertaining too.
Such a great tutorial. Just got done replacing the air spring on my FOX 34 to upgrade it from 130 to 140mm and replacing the seals/servicing the lowers while I was at it. Was using the service guides on the Fox website but this video filled in all of the detailed info and tips, you are awesome! I didn't have a mini-blind adjuster to use for cleaning the lowers so I picked up a large wooden dowel and drilled a big hole in one end. Was then able to just thread a shop rag through the hole and wrap it around the dowel for the cleaning. Thanks again!
Mate, I love the level of analytical detail you have in these Mechanic Monday videos. Keep explaining not just the how, but the why and you’ll have a 100k subs in no time!
BRO! This must go to my top5 internet moments ever! Thanks. There's no, however, how-to video for the Float DPS rear shock maintenance and the internet needs it! Loved to see that.
Amazing and comprehensive video. I wish all bike mechanics were as detailed and caring as you. I have never trusted anyone to work on my bike. If I lived near your shop, I wouldn’t hesitate to bring my bike to you.
Hey Mike, i'm from Germany and just wanted to know how to service my Fox 36 by myself. I didn't recon with a full professional instruction video how to consider each step such in detail! Especially i liked the extra advice for good mechanic habits. If i could, 1000 thumbs up four you!
I've watched heaps of lower leg services ready to do it myself. I would say I would have been guessing until I saw this video. Amazingly helpful. Great work dude!
Dude, I’m a pretty decent bike mechanic. Been wrenching on my own bikes for years, but I’ve always been afraid to break into my forks for some reason. I watched this video, a couple of times, ordered my stuff, and rebuilt it today. I don’t know what felt better, the feeling of accomplishment of finally taking my suspension management into my own hands, or getting the sweet PRs on my better than new, buttery smooth feeling fork. Thank you so much! This was truly a game changer for me. Keep it up. You’re changing the world, empowering folk to fix their own suspension, one sandy feeling fork at a time. ✊🏻
🖤. Thank you for this excellent tutorial. I serviced my 34 a couple weeks ago, and after going down the UA-cam Rabbit hole then, I have to say that this is the best video I've seen yet on the subject. ✌️💀🤙🍦
From a career mechanic (motorcycle)......Great job of going in depth for all your processes and shop tricks. Helpful hint.....when you are dealing with a small part that is likely to become a "f**k spring" (small non-magnetic part that will likely find the largest and most immobile thing in your shop to roll under) put soft rags on the floor and drape another one loosely over the work prior to the point at which the part is likely to release.
Aaaand because I'm stupid af I did exactly what you told us not to do in the video. I took the new grip2 damper and tested it by pushing it in and out. What happened-> Oilcreampie in my face brother... So I got very excited because I thoght I have to rebuild the whole damper to bleed the air I have soaked into. BUUUUT because of you I came down quickly knowing right now, its not the end of the world... so thank you very much for your great research and work!
Dude your a fooking legend!!! My fox factory 130mm have been losing travel and to the point I was only getting 60mm of travel. Was thinking it must be negative chamber, watched your vid, and yes!!!! Now I know more about the inner and will give the air spring a clean, even if it doesn't work, thanks for the great tutorial. Hope to be back on the trails soon. If so, we owe you our first born!
Hi Mike, for me it is the ultimate video, for servicing a fox 36 grip2! Anything else is said in the other comments! You create an awesome vid! That's why i'm a big fan of your channel! Keep going! Cheers from Heidelberg Germany
Great detailed work process I wish I’d found this video before having to send my 4 month old 36 back to Fox for warranty work. I’d did the repairs myself and save 2+ weeks of downtime. Oh well, this winter I’ll do the Grip2 upgrade and annual service off of this video. Scott
You just cleared up so much for me. I feel like I now have the confidence to do this myself. I've got the tools and parts to bump up the travel on my grip 2 fork to 150. Just need the 5 wt oil now. The guy at my shop said to just use the gold in both sides, but after some investigation and watching this video I'm going to hold off until the 5wt comes in.
Great video for Fox fork servicing. The grease on the upper seals as well as removing excess on grease on the Air Spring make a huge difference to how responsive a fork can be. Unfortunately from the factory and with many shops - this is neglected and fork small bump compliance performance suffers as a result.
Bought a bike 2.5 years ago and never had the fork serviced so I was overdue. Watched this video, bought all the parts & fluids from these guys, and then followed the tutorial step by step. 2 things to mention for those who want to to this: First, as others have said, don't forget the 3cc of oil on the top of the air side. Second, MAKE SURE TO STRETCH YOUR DUST WIPERS (the foam rings). He doesn't mention this in the video and I didn't do this the first time. They ended up getting caught on the stanchion when I put the lowers back on and they tore, adding all kinds of friction to the system. Fork felt terrible. Had to redo the whole thing and replace with new wipers. Local bike shop gave some advice and said with Fox, you always have to stretch the dust wipers to expand their diameter so they sit nicely under the seals and don't get caught. After doing this though, worked like a charm. Overall this video is a great tutorial and my suspension feels incredible. Thanks for putting this together!
I watched this video from start to finish the other night and then in parts tonight as I took my month old fox 36 apart. The amount of grease in there was ridiculous. I put it back together and it feels like a different fork. QC at fox needs to deal with this, I’m told it’s a common issue. Thanks for making this video (and the others)
Best suspension explanation video evvvaaaaaa!! I now feel confident enough to give a lower leg and air spring service a go, and i now also know what an air spring is, what it looks like and what it does! I love your mechanic Monday videos and am excited to future episodes!
Best fork service video I've ever seen. Nice! Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to my Grip2 arriving and getting it on my fork. I really appreciate the work you put in to make this tutorial.
After 5 years, this remains by far the best video on rebuilding Fox 36 forks. Have watched it several times while servicing my bikes. Today's feat included replacing the original Fox 36 Rhythm fork on my 2023 Specialized Levo SL with the new Fox 36 Factory fork I recently got from you. Then, I decided to rebuild the Rhythm for future use...and found that its air spring was way over-greased as this video had shown. Thinking back, I believe that virtually all of my suspension parts and related tool purchases have come from The Lost Company. TLC always seems to have the best Fox and SRAM parts inventory and pricing. You certainly have a fan here! Now, what to do with all of these used shop towels?
Thanks for the awesome video! I used the large socket for the top of the air side to bang in the wipers along with a Harbor Freight rubber mallet. Go slow and just tap in circles around and around the edges till it finally seats all the way. Don't need a specialized tool if you're willing to spend a few minutes per side. I've done this with a lot of other round items with a tight fit, if you just bang on them straight on they will go in cock eyed, but if you slow down a bit and go around the edge it works out.
Best and most easily understood MTB maintenance videos out there! You speak layman's language and your show-and-tell technique is SUPERB! Keep up the great work.....most appreciated, useful, and enjoyable.
Thanks!! I try my best to be absolutely straightforward with everything. I also work on cars as a hobby, and its always annoying watching tutorials and they're super vague, so I want to make sure all of my mechanic videos are very informative rather than just vague.
Thanks for your ability to clearly explain this process. You are so detail oriented and precise. Love it. I’ll be watching more of your tutorials for sure.
I'm a motorcycle mechanic and don't thrust just anyone to work on my stuff but you, i'd let you! you know your stuff AND your special care and attention to details is right up there!. How old are you???
Thank you for this video. Did mine in about 45 minutes watching your video. Thanks for some of the shortcuts and cost saving. Pounding in the dust shields with a $40 tool kind of sucked. But saving $50 per side for the fox tool to break the stiction between both sides helped. Thanks a lot
Protip: Remove the valve core from the air cap after you let the air out. Takes 2 seconds with a cheap valve core removal tool. That way you don't have to mess with it later while removing/reinstalling the air piston. Great video!
Great How To Video. Only comment I have is in checking the fluid levels on the Fox Link for a 36 it now shows adding 3cc, 20wt gold into the NA2 Air chamber. Saw this on another link and double checked. This really matches not over lubing the seals of the air chamber. They now live in an oil bath. Saw there is now a service recommended for the Grip 2. Would live to see you do another how to video. Just received my seals, oil and tools from you. Ready to go!
Just finished watched this great video at 4am in Sao Paulo , Brazil waiting for my next flight.. I know where I am bringing my fork for my service next year
Fair play you're really awesome at what you do...!! I thought I was a perfectionist but you make me look sloppy!!! If I was ever getting my fox 36's done I'd want you to do them!!👏🏻👌🏻
Just did my 2019 fox36 grip2 today, after watching this video again this morning before pulling it down. My air spring had the same massive amount of grease on it, now it feels amazing. no doubt i'll be doing some adjustments to my rebound and compression to fix the faults i would have tuned out before.
As it states "THE ULTIMATE" service guide. I'd say this is the benchmark level against which everything else compared. Hands down best of anything I've ever seen or watched from UA-cam. As it save's me from svearing and make's it possible to save some serious money, I'll go and upgrade my Fox 36 Fit4 2018 with the GRIP2 Damper. Million thanks!
ok, one thumb up for this video, 2 or 3 might be if possible, great video, It's gonna be my first servicing ever on my fox 15 years old fork, ( lost oil , might have some pieces to change because they are ruined ... I 'll see when all is opened ) I've learned so much, good rythm when you speak, very clear explaination event for me ( not english langage as mother tong ) very instructive and detailed video, I fell I can do it :) - Great job captain !
Excellent video. I normally remove (and push up the stanchion) the outer spring on the seal to make the seal easier to install. After the lower is on, I reinstall the springs.
Wow this video was so good to watch and you were so precise in explaining all the passages. I've watched it only for curiosity but the next time I'll have to do a suspension maintenance I'll going to rewatch it for sure.
I have a 2016 Focus Raven max SL with Fox 32 fit-4 and had it serviced about 6 months ago, so much smoother now, I think it was about $60.00 including labor and seals, well worth it
This video is much better than everything, that I saw till this moment for that kind of service. Even better, than FOX original videos - they are too poor. Great! Thanks, dude! Now, waiting for the X2(2019) service. ;)
Great Video! Super informative and helpful and entertaining! On top of that, I couldn't agree more on your habit of keeping all the parts in the right order and constantly making sure everything is tidy and clean!!! It just makes your life sooo much easier! I am learning the craft of bike mechanic myself (Spezialized concept store... I love it!) and constantly trying to get my colleagues to develope that habit... ;) Loving your videos! Keep up the great work!

Pro Tip: The large 36mm o ring in the dust wiper kit is for your sage measurement. so put it on the airside station when the lower fork is off.
Sage
@@fazza2104 think he ment sag o ring
This video is incredible but this missing part and the 3cc in the air chamber are a bummer. Maybe I will use a zip tie to set sag and measure travel.
Wow I cant tell you how thankful I am for putting this video up! So thorough and I feel like a pro when it comes to shocks now!

Great video for Fox fork servicing. The grease on the upper seals as well as removing excess on grease on the Air Spring make a huge difference to how responsive a fork can be. Unfortunately from the factory and with many shops - this is neglected and fork small bump compliance performance suffers as a result.
Probably the best video ever on how to service a fox fork. Looking forward to have a video like this for the rear shock
One of the best videos I've watched on UA-cam other than the P-Diddy - Bad Boy for Life music video.
Shout out to Ben Stiller

This video tutorial puts the official fox video to shame... BIG thanks for your hard work !!!
Thank you a lot for this excellent video! I am glad you did the proper long video.
I used some bottle caps as seal drivers and it was such a pain, those drivers are definitely nice
Thank you for this video. Did mine in about 45 minutes watching your video. Thanks for some of the shortcuts and cost saving. Pounding in the dust shields with a $40 tool kind of sucked. But saving $50 per side for the fox tool to break the stiction between both sides helped. Thanks a lot
A float shock air can service next please! Great video. Beyond comprehensive and clear.
You should do a Fox Float DPS next! There are detailed instructions on their website, but a video is always ultimate to follow along.

3 yr old video and still exactly what I need
This is brilliant. Plenty of detail & excellent production value. Thanks mate!
Great How To Video. Only comment I have is in checking the fluid levels on the Fox Link for a 36 it now shows adding 3cc, 20wt gold into the NA2 Air chamber. Saw this on another link and double checked. This really matches not over lubing the seals of the air chamber. They now live in an oil bath.
Saw there is now a service recommended for the Grip 2. Would live to see you do another how to video.
Just received my seals, oil and tools from you. Ready to go!
This video sure came in handy today while swapping a FIT4 for a GRIP2 in my Float 34 fork! Thanks Lost Co!!!
Just finished watched this great video at 4am in Sao Paulo , Brazil waiting for my next flight.. I know where I am bringing my fork for my service next year
Man, I'm sooo glad I could make an airport wait a little interesting! I look forward to hearing from you for your next fork service!!
Man, this was awesome! One of the best fork tutorials I have ever seen.... Love your channel.
Thanks!!!
Fair play you're really awesome at what you do...!! I thought I was a perfectionist but you make me look sloppy!!! If I was ever getting my fox 36's done I'd want you to do them!!👏🏻👌🏻
Just did my 2019 fox36 grip2 today, after watching this video again this morning before pulling it down. My air spring had the same massive amount of grease on it, now it feels amazing. no doubt i'll be doing some adjustments to my rebound and compression to fix the faults i would have tuned out before.
I’m doing mine this weekend?
Any tips for a smooth procedure ?
Did you put the 3cc in top of air chamber ok?
Thanks
Husqvarna Chainsaws, everything else is a compromise. TY for the very thorough and comprehensive video.
The best video i have seen on the subject. Answers all the questions anyone could have. Brilliant!!
As it states "THE ULTIMATE" service guide. I'd say this is the benchmark level against which everything else compared. Hands down best of anything I've ever seen or watched from UA-cam.
As it save's me from svearing and make's it possible to save some serious money, I'll go and upgrade my Fox 36 Fit4 2018 with the GRIP2 Damper.
Million thanks!
Awesome vid guys! Please please do a vid like this with the 🦊 float 40’s.
Would help so so much!!
Love your channel ❤️👍🏻
Thanks for the kind words!! Honestly, the Fox 40's are basically the same procedure as this!
Fantastic video and pleasant personality. Thank you for helping this old guy learn the best way to service Fox 36 Grip 2 forks. Thanks so much
Defently the best video for servicing these forks. You saved my life 😄.
best turotial out there! helped me so much with air in the negative chamber :*
You definitely know your stuff,one of THE BEST service videos,I would certainly take my forks to you
Great tutorial I'm even more convinced to leave this to professionals like yourself 😁😁
Still the best video out there on fork maintenance... GREAT JOB
Thanks for sharing. I am impressed by your professionalism and charisma! Such a nice video to watch and learn!
This is a really useful video. I just broke my flimsy FIT cartridge whilst doing a service so can't wait to get my GRIP cartridge in. Thank you.
Great in depth tutorial! and lots of helpful little pointers to make the work much easier. THANK YOU!
Loved the video; was able to get a lot of information that I haven’t seen before. Thanks again for the detailed instructions.
Sweeet! I'm stoked you both enjoyed the video and learned something! My two goals accomplished 😁
ok, one thumb up for this video, 2 or 3 might be if possible, great video, It's gonna be my first servicing ever on my fox 15 years old fork, ( lost oil , might have some pieces to change because they are ruined ... I 'll see when all is opened ) I've learned so much, good rythm when you speak, very clear explaination event for me ( not english langage as mother tong ) very instructive and detailed video, I fell I can do it :) - Great job captain !
This is the best video I’ve ever seen on you tube. I just happen to be getting a grip 2 damper for Christmas so this is perfect timing!
Sweet enjoy it man!!
Excellent video. I normally remove (and push up the stanchion) the outer spring on the seal to make the seal easier to install. After the lower is on, I reinstall the springs.
Wow this video was so good to watch and you were so precise in explaining all the passages. I've watched it only for curiosity but the next time I'll have to do a suspension maintenance I'll going to rewatch it for sure.
You Are a Beast of a bike mechanic!!!! thanks and keep it up!!!
This are the best service videos I've seen. Please keep the coming!
I have a 2016 Focus Raven max SL with Fox 32 fit-4 and had it serviced about 6 months ago, so much smoother now, I think it was about $60.00 including labor and seals, well worth it
This video is much better than everything, that I saw till this moment for that kind of service. Even better, than FOX original videos - they are too poor. Great!
Thanks, dude!
Now, waiting for the X2(2019) service. ;)
Thanks a ton!! I'm sure a Float X2 service video will be up before Spring!
Thank you so much for taking the time to create such a quality 'how to' video. Very very appreciated!!
One of the best fork service videos out there! Plus, I loved the organization. Thanks!
Great Video! Super informative and helpful and entertaining!
On top of that, I couldn't agree more on your habit of keeping all the parts in the right order and constantly making sure everything is tidy and clean!!!
It just makes your life sooo much easier!
I am learning the craft of bike mechanic myself (Spezialized concept store... I love it!) and constantly trying to get my colleagues to develope that habit... ;)
Loving your videos!
Keep up the great work!
