Hello, Ideally this needs to be torqued using a torque wrench which I would recommend - however I personally have gone until it’s tight using the tool, and then a few more clicks. There is no need to go super super tight. I have had no issues with stripping teeth or things coming loose. I hope this helps 😊

That’s perfect. Thanks 🙏

@@thewizard2465 The K line is one of my favourites. I just wish it was 5 times longer 😂 The video footage never does it any justice, it always seems to make things look smaller and easier than it actually is 😂😳 Are you local to Hamsterley?

@@JakeBrookesBiking I'm in Newcastle so it's my local bike park. Tbh I travel around to places, done glentress not too long ago. Crazy good although a lot was closed off.

@@thewizard2465 I have heard a lot of the tracks up there are closed due to ongoing work? I haven’t been up there is over a year but I need to get back up there - I fear it may be a little different though to my last trip 😳

@@mebeadamb Hello 👋 To my knowledge - no, adding volume spacers does not change the max rider weight limit or max shock pressure. For now try to get the correct sag measurement. I would start with 115/117 psi and see what the sag measurement is. From there you can add a little pressure or reduce it to achieve the sag measurement you want 😊 Once you are happy with the sag, ride the bike and see how it feels. If you are going through the suspension travel too easily or bottoming out, then add some volume spacers 😊 I would not recommend going over the max shock pressure or the max amount of volume spacers. I hope this answers your question and helps. If you have any more questions please ask away 😊

@@AM-yb1ez It is a little annoying but atleast they used a tool that already exists and didn’t make yet another tool 🤔 Where are you based?

@@JayRiva-k7x Sorry I’m a little lost with this. What do you mean please?

@@GurthBrooks619 ohh no! Are you going to just live with the noise or are you going to try and get them fixed?

@@JakeBrookesBiking Im trying to figure that out as I believe the fork is out of warranty.

@@GurthBrooks619 I have heard of some people turning the bike upside down and feeling loc tite into the seal between the fork crown and upper fork legs. However results seem to vary. Might be worth a try - there are a few videos on RUclips showing how people have done this. I hope this helps

@@JakeBrookesBiking when I reached out to YT they pretended like they’ve never heard of the issue before

@@GurthBrooks619 ohh, that’s strange. Did they do / say anything to help?

@@owenchabot hello, I believe they are installed permanently and the 2 parts are not meant to be taken apart.

@@JakeBrookesBiking That’s what I suspected. Thanks!

@@danieledwards4689 I hope you have a nice trip 😊 Have you been before?

@@RideHaste Thank you very much! It’s a great place to ride and race 😊

@@sebastiengiovannelli8556 hello, usually they sound like mine did after the service. They are not all silent but they are not noisy like this one was at the start of this video.

@@ultragucci Hello, thank you very much for this. Yes, I will try to continue making videos like this 😊 Please subscribe if you havnt already

@@ftlikemike I don’t believe E13 do one but there are certainly some options (not many) from other companies. Unfortunately I can’t remember the make of the one I have used in the past.

@@jml_mtb ohh no, is it affecting the shocks performance?

@@samburrow8099 I’m glad this was useful 😊 They do look good, real neat and tidy 😊

Hello, it would help to keep a bit of mud and dirt off the frame, but it would not give a lot of coverage and it wouldn’t be protecting any bearings or linkages etc, which is what this is designed to do. So personally, I wouldn’t bother and I would save your money 😊 If you are wanting to keep some mud and dirt of you, then I would maybe look at the MudHugger Rear Hugger or a Crud Catcher rear mudguard. I hope this helps 😊

@@JakeBrookesBiking thank you! I’ve ordered one so will see how it looks but will likely return it based on that. I looked at the two you reccommend and they do appear to provide a lot more coverage.

@@samburrow8099 See what it looks like and go from there 😊 Please let me know what you decide on.

@@JakeBrookesBiking already managed to cancel the order for the rear so guess we’ll never know! The more I looked at them the more I’d prefer the full coverage of the mud hugger for winter riding. For now, while the suns out, I think I’ll just go with a front only

@@samburrow8099 Thats great 😊 and that is what I would do, leave it for when the wet weather comes 😊 Also gives you more time to decide on what you want on your bike.

@@sixstab2967 You are welcome 😊 I hope it was useful

@@ex3dy813 they work very well. Hopefully it will help solve the problem for you 😊

@@HappyTeaRex1 😂😂

There should not be any oil to replace 😊

@@mahon1352 I hope you found this video useful 😊

@@JakeBrookesBiking 💯 mate thank you , problem solved by watching your video

@@mahon1352 You are very welcome 😊

Thank you for feedback 😊 I have a fox 36 and I don’t think I used any shims in the end. It seemed to work perfectly on its own 😊

Thank you for this, whatever it was, Fox managed to get this sorted for me 😊

@@Emtbtoday Hello, sorry about my slow reply… Ideally volume spacers should be left until sag is set correctly and the bike has been ridden to see how it feels and how progressive or linear it is. However I understand your issue, I would say give it a go and see what you find 😊 As long as you do not go over the max pressure for your shock then you shouldn’t have any issues. Just be aware that reducing the volume spacers size will make the bike more linear and easier to bottom out. On the other hand adding a volume spacer or increasing the volume spacers size will increase how progressive your bike is. If your running a large amount of sag - this will certainly help to reduce bottom outs I would personally start by trying a slightly larger volume spacer, go back to your max pressure and see where you sit with sag 😊 I’m sorry I can’t give you a definitive answer but hopefully the info above is helpful.

Ohh no, unfortunately to my knowledge the only lock ring tool I know that will work, is the Ethirteen lock ring tool. Is there no way of possibly straightening the lockring tool you have bent in a vice?

Hello 😊 The left pedal will not go into the right crank arm and the right pedal should not go into the left crank arm as the threads are opposite. They do need a nip to stay in place. I can’t see why they would come loose if they are nipped tight… it might be worth tightening them up a little more or maybe using some loctite, however this isn’t usually needed 😊 How are the bearings? Are they a little stiff? I hope this helps 😊

These jobs are not always easy, I hope this video was useful! 😊 Please subscribe

Hello, sorry about my slow reply. Since I have started using these I have stopped carrying any tyre repair equipment when riding at trail centre or when I am not too far from the van. They really are very good and they last very long. I am still using the same airliner I used in this video 😊 Thank you very much for sharing this 😊

Hello, 👋 When you connect the shock pump to the shock or fork, the air pressure will drop slightly. This is down to the air volume being shared between the suspension air chamber and the shock pump, instead of just being in the suspension air chamber, leading to a slight drop in pressure. When you disconnect the shock pump from the fork or shock there will be a hissing noise as the shock pump looses its pressure. The pressure in the fork or shock should not change though as the valve is closed before the seal between the shock pump and fork or shock is opened. If you are losing a significant amount of air when removing the shock pump, or the shock pump is not pressurising the fork or shock, then you may have a faulty shock pump. Make sure the pump connection is clean and clear and ensure the pump itself is not loose in any way. If your pump still isn’t working correctly, then I would replace the shock pump. I hope this helps

I’m glad you got it sorted 😊

The old fashioned way👌👌😁

@@lazariusmtb 😂

Have you tried warming it up a little or cooling it down? Sometimes either can help with this.

@@JakeBrookesBiking Finally I have used a cutter knife to separate the paper from the rubber. Was not easy, both were kinda "melded".

@@Slipknot19791979 they certainly are sticky. Please let me know what you think of it when you ride 😊

try putting pads in freezer first next time!

I guess it may have been over tightened when it was last put on. Are you struggling to get it off?

Hello, personally I would take it to a bike shop or order the right tool. I know it means waiting for the tool to arrive and there is more cost. But otherwise you risk damaging the lock ring or chainring. However if you don’t want to order the right tool then you could use a large set of grips to remove the ring, I have also heard of some people using a hammer and flat bladed screwdriver to tap the lock ring free. I hope this helps 😊

Ohh no, is Les’ 2 ok?

@@JakeBrookesBiking les 2 is yes and les 3 just 😂 loggers have been around that area to

@@martinallenden1981 I haven’t been up in a while but I have heard there is a lot of damage. Hopefully there are at least a few sections left 🙏

​​@@JakeBrookesBikingthey're getting pretty washed out with no trees to protect. They'll be near unrideable after the winter. Stripes is ruined.

@@MalamuteMan1 😫 Are they planting any new trees? Or have they just wiped the place out and left? 😡

Hello 😊 Thank you for sharing this! I love the Agarro for trail riding. I love how fast is it. Unfortunately I haven’t ridden with the Xynotal yet. What is it like?

I would suggest looking at the Martello. It sits between the Agarro and the Mazza and it is available in the same trail casing as the Agarro. It is a fantastic tyre that still rolls very well but provides more all round grip than the Agarro. The Mazza is a brilliant tyre too however it does roll slower than both the Martello and the Agarro. So if you want to maintain the light and easy to pedal feeling (which I love!) than I would suggest the Martello I hope this helps, so sorry my reply was slow

Don't go Martello unless you live somewhere with good, packed dirt. It just doesn't get through the gravely rock in the corners

Hello 👋 Thank you for sharing this. Unfortunately this does seem to be a common theme - shocks not lasting long after a service before making this noise again. If the rebound and overall performance is consistent and unaffected. Then I would save your money and just use the shock as it is 😊 I know the noise is annoying but if the performance is the same then I would just use it. I hope Fox find a solution for this in the future

Hello, so sorry for my slow reply. No there isn’t an indication for this unfortunately. I would suggest using a torque wrench if you have one. Personally I just guessed and went tight enough to the point where I didn’t think it would come loose. It have not had any issues since doing this 😊

Hello 👋 I am very sorry about my slow reply. Some (but very few) forks and shocks are set up to be able to use a system like this. At the moment I’m not sure of any other brand fitting this standard on their bikes, although I would think some XC race bikes will have this as standard. It could be retrofitted to a bike. However this requires a fair few extra parts and some forks and shock will not be compatible. It is a shame this isn’t an option on trail bikes as it is a brilliant feature to have. What do you ride?

Scott only. Its patented and trademarked and such.

@@gammelgemse so if the same shocks used it would be ok looks like they're using fox same as i

@@gammelgemse but isn't it what shocks you use looks like fox same as i have

Hello, thank you for your comment. Since I have had this fixed (the second time round) the noise hasn’t come back 😊 However the results do seem to vary

Hello, thank you very much for the feedback. I would probably say round. I hope this helps

Hello 😊 does it get stuck on the shock hardware / long tube plastic spacer?

​@@JakeBrookesBikingnevermind I figured it out, I had to twist it off with the flow of the spring

Hello Daniel, I would try putting some penetrating oil on the threads and leave overnight to see if it will free it up a little (try not to get any fluid on your disc contact area) You could also try extending the handle of the lockring tool to give you a bit more leverage. Failing that you could use a flat bladed screwdriver and a hammer to tap the lockring free. I hope this helps 😊

@@JakeBrookesBikingOk ill give it a try and comment the results, i think it's way too tight due to dirt and low maintenance, do you think heat would also help?? I've seen videos where It does with rusted bolts and stuff like that, but don't know in my case

@@danielpiana7566 I would try without heat first 😊 I’m not sure if the heat would discolour or damage the disk or hub. I haven’t tried applying heat to this part of a wheel before so unfortunately I can’t say for sure. Usually though heat will help Sorry I can’t give you a definitive answer

Hello 👋 Neither did I, that’s party why I made this video to help others out 😊 I’m just glad the bike industry didn’t come up with another tool for this and they used something already in use 😊

The tool kept slipping off so I used a flat head screw driver and hammer and used the flat head in the groove and tapped it with hammer until the ring unlocked 😂 old school methods still work the best sometimes 👌😂😂

@@paulosborne1409 Thank you for sharing this Paul! It might just help someone out 😊

Thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate it. Have you got the first version or version 2 / V2. V2 is slightly different - if you have V2 this is the video you need… ruclips.net/video/eVspk_L3_Rw/видео.html 😊
