My 50 pence for refitting the air can. Wind the rebound to fully slow counting the amount of clicks then when you compress the shock it stays down! Makes engaging those pesky threads a whole lot easier.
This is a great thing. This way it's much more specific and you can see exactly everything you need to do. Although I was kinda disappointed that he didn't show the removal of the shock from the bike. It's a small thing and probably can see it in other videos but still.. Would be nice if it were really 'start to finish'
This is priceless. Please do more of these 'deep-dives'. Ideas: -- Front Forks -- Mechanical & Hydraulic Brakes -- Front/Rear Derailers -- Dropper Seats -- Cranks
Boom! Air can service done. This and the video Doddy did before gave me total confidence in doing this myself. Piece of cake once you’ve got the tools and the knowledge.
@@chrismorris9396 They recommend a lower leg service after 50 hours and full out internal replacements after 100 hours last time I checked for 2015-2018 forks.
YES please do make more of these of overlooked bike service types of videos you can do at home. I really love to see the inner workings of the shocks and bits none the less too. I find it interesting.
Hah! I was thinking the same thing. Bob Ross used to lower my blood pressure about 30 points whenever I watched him and Henry did the same thing. Very low key; very detailed. That is not a knock by any means.
Hey Henry, I'm so grateful that you did this extremely useful video. My air shock also wants to thank you for not being worn down :D I also like your way of presenting and lecturing alot, to satisfy the curiosity of tech nerds like me. And sharing your special tips and tricks with us, so thank you!
Love this type of proper servicing Henry made that look simple and easy enough that most people could tackle it. Lower fork service next please then bleeding Sram brakes...
Great video guys. More of the same please. It really helps when you are trying a service for the first time having a guide to make sure you aren’t going to damage your bike. More of the same please. How about a bearing service for your rear pivot on a suspension bike. Things to look out for etc.
If your struggling to reseat the Can then slowing down the rebound to minimum helps. A cheap 1 - 3mm syringe is good for adding an accurate quantity of float fluid to the can. I also personally crack the Can on the bike then remove the shock.. much better than putting a hex through the eye IMO.
Awesome tutorial! It would be a great idea to do all the periodic maintenance service guides. Forks, Hydraulic brake bleed and pad changes, cable changes, shifter maintenance and so on.
Awesome vid. We need more real time vids like this so we amateurs can see each step clearly and understand the process. Keep up the great work! GMBN Tech is the best!
Just make sure you don't use RS 3wt damping fluid in your air can. Also be sure to check RS's service site for the correct way to do a air can service. This is riddled with small mistakes and potential safety issues.
Always good to watch these, usually a tip or two I can pick up despite having done these services for years on my bikes. Sadly neither of my bikes have shocks that can be serviced like this, both are CCDB Airs, no home tinkering on those!
Excellent video (as always), I really love the "real time" idea,much more helpful for when you do it yourself and because it is such a fully comprehensive video,it also gives you more faith in what you're about to do.👍👍👍
Thank you. Loved this video so much, I'm now going to service my shock whilst playing this video. [Edit] Just services my Manitou Radium Expert. The video was perfect. I struggled getting the air cover off, so went back to removing it with it attached to the bike. Worked a treat with just hands and no strap. Struggled getting back on but that's because I want applying enough pressure when twisting
Great video Henry, very thorough, thank you! Please do more of these! I'd especially like to see servicing a freehub, servicing/replacing linkage bearings.
Definitely good style of vid! You guys should do more maybe an in depth full shock service and lower leg form service? Would love to see some better videos on in depth shock servicing!
Cracking video! I like the real-time aspect! Real-time service/repair videos like this are really good ideas! You could do loads like this forks bb’s hubs headsets make it a series! Be nice to see a full service done as well
Excelent Henry! Just in time for me. Followed the instructions and it was just as easy. More of those please! Can you do a full service of fork and shock?
Great video, thank you, I see my self doing what you are doing, since if I'm not being carefull when doing my mechanic it will cost me money in the long in the run. Keep it up, love your videos.
Some cans use fox float fluid in both halves not just the bottom half. Also if you depress the air valve while you are putting back on the can you don't have to remove it.
Top stuff guys. This is the next job I want to do on my bike so an impeccably timed video and very helpful. Forks, droppers, brakes and wheel truing in the same format please 🤙
I like it. Do more of this. But you did make an error. How did the shock magically appear on your work bench? People also want to know how to properly remove and reinstall it on the bike. That information is more important in some ways as if I cannot confidently get it off and back on the bike, then I can't service it.
What did you think of this video? What do you want to see Henry do some more servicing in real time? Let us know!
Full fork service

This is priceless. Please do more of these 'deep-dives'.
Ideas:
-- Front Forks
-- Mechanical & Hydraulic Brakes
-- Front/Rear Derailers
-- Dropper Seats
-- Cranks
Yeah dropper seats please
Nice guide. could you do a real time fork service?
Yea defo
I third this. Love working on my own stuff, despite the "support your LBS" mentality. I just don't have the funds for certified service =]
Yea they should also do a fox shock real time one. Preferably dpx2
Great shout! 🤙
@@jackbeames7643 they have done a fork service on fox
don't know if it's just me. but besides the real good explanation his calming voice makes this much better to understand anyhow.
Boom! Air can service done. This and the video Doddy did before gave me total confidence in doing this myself. Piece of cake once you’ve got the tools and the knowledge.
Fork service plz. Great work thanks.
Yeah!
No difference. It's almost the same
You should do a video on the 200 hour service for rockshox forks or forks in general
isn't the 200 hour service an almost complete internals replacement?
@@M3PH11 from what I understand from the service instructions provided by rockshox online it's replacing the seals and orings and bleeding the dampers
@@chrismorris9396 They recommend a lower leg service after 50 hours and full out internal replacements after 100 hours last time I checked for 2015-2018 forks.
YES please do make more of these of overlooked bike service types of videos you can do at home. I really love to see the inner workings of the shocks and bits none the less too. I find it interesting.
Absolutely want to see more of these
Absolutely love this.
Too many guides always have some part being "After this, just do this and this, but thats so easy that we don't show it here"
The Bob Ross of mountainbike maintenance! ✌️
philippfib good one mate! You gotta love the modern MTB art👊😄
If Bob Ross was a bike mechanic. Happy little seals
Gustavo Curiche hahah so true

Lower fork service next please then bleeding Sram brakes...
Great video. Key notes: let the air out slowly!!! Did two of these, the first one I let all the air out at once, and it boom when screwing off
Just did mine, A lot easier than i thought it was going to be, Massive thanks to Henry and GMBN for this video

Awesome tutorial! It would be a great idea to do all the periodic maintenance service guides. Forks, Hydraulic brake bleed and pad changes, cable changes, shifter maintenance and so on.
love these real time services
Please do a video like this on coil shocks!
More of this please!
Love these kind of vids!
Awesome vid. We need more real time vids like this so we amateurs can see each step clearly and understand the process. Keep up the great work! GMBN Tech is the best!
Great video. My RS Monarch really needs service, so I will follow the steps in this video. Thanks 👍
Awesome, hope this video helps! 👍

Nice to know even this job isnt rocketscience, common sense is all you need. Nice vid Henry my man. 💎👌

Brilliant, more real time maintenance videos please. 👏
Great format. Please keep doing maintenance videos just like this one. Very, very useful!
Great! Please can you do one on forks?
I felt you where so much more informative than SRAM’s videos. Thank you.
Liked the real time service video, bring on some more!
Thank you. Loved this video so much, I'm now going to service my shock whilst playing this video.

Can I see a real-time video of Doddy doing his hair, please?
Great video guy's! Henry clearly knows what he's talking about and explains things very clearly, would love to see more of these kind of video's!
Yeah.... This was great. Enjoyed it. Do more. Nice job Henry.
Finally... a service video y real time... 😃👏👏👏🚲🌲
Great video Henry, very thorough, thank you! Please do more of these! I'd especially like to see servicing a freehub, servicing/replacing linkage bearings.
This is great!! Would love the same kind of video for a fork service and maybe even both coil fork and coil rear shock
Great tutorial. Can always learn something new from the show.
Great stuff. Fork shock service next please :)
Awesome video, makes the service so much less daunting.. really awesome format, loved it. Thank you. Off I go to service me shock.
the real-time stuff is awesome
Definitely good style of vid! You guys should do more maybe an in depth full shock service and lower leg form service? Would love to see some better videos on in depth shock servicing!
Great video, do more of the same format. I think this type of video works better at setting a process for maintenance and general care. Thanks.
Coil shock Service would be great. Got a RockShox kage
Cracking video! I like the real-time aspect! Real-time service/repair videos like this are really good ideas! You could do loads like this forks bb’s hubs headsets make it a series! Be nice to see a full service done as well
Absolutely ace, well done, very useful. Now can you do the same for a fork and maybe even break the stages down on separate clips. Brill
Great video!! Really like this format... Do more videos like this on forks, brakes drivetrain etc...
Keep them coming!!
Very Good! Yes more videos like this. 👍
Please mor of this !
Especially the "real time" feature is so relaxing :-)
I heard it helps to turn the rebound to the slowest position before screwing on the air can so you're not fighting the stanchion release.
Excelent Henry! Just in time for me. Followed the instructions and it was just as easy.
More of those please!
Can you do a full service of fork and shock?
Great video! Would be lovely if you did a more thorough service, and also if you made a video about coil shocks.
Dropper post service vid would be great 😀👍
Great video, thank you, I see my self doing what you are doing, since if I'm not being carefull when doing my mechanic it will cost me money in the long in the run. Keep it up, love your videos.
Great stuff, thank you! full guides like this are one more great addition to the great range of gmbn content!
Very helpful video, thanks! Can you do another video just like this but for forks please?
Brilliant. More please
Some cans use fox float fluid in both halves not just the bottom half. Also if you depress the air valve while you are putting back on the can you don't have to remove it.
Excellent video. More more more.
always gettin that Bob Ross vibes from Henry
Loved it, thanks for the same shoot, would love to see more of these video's..
Top stuff guys. This is the next job I want to do on my bike so an impeccably timed video and very helpful.
Forks, droppers, brakes and wheel truing in the same format please 🤙
Thank you for doing this. More please!
More videos like this please!!!
Yep, more of this.
Ace video, fork service would be great also thanks
2 years and about 1000 miles, ought to do mine really.
More of this!
200 hour service video please!! Figuring out the IFP and changing the oil out of the reservoir is tricky. There are videos, but only in Italian!!
Very nice would like a coil shock service
More real time maintenance guides please.
Really enjoyed this live time video. Great concept!
Great video! Front fork service please
going with the all the other comments, Front Forks service in real time, and maybe Dropper Seat post :)
I love these kinds of videos
4:55 so I noticed I have some super fine scoring on my shaft, it works fine so I don't think it requires filling in yet
I like it. Do more of this. But you did make an error. How did the shock magically appear on your work bench? People also want to know how to properly remove and reinstall it on the bike. That information is more important in some ways as if I cannot confidently get it off and back on the bike, then I can't service it.
Great video dude. Need more of these.
Awesome work! Love the format, Henry!
Will you possibly make a video on the 200 hour service on a Rockshox?
Hey Henry, you mentioned a video on filling scratches and notches on the shaft. Can you link that please! Would be great!
Lower leg service would be nice to see.
And maybe an air shaft change - i.e. Yari 160 to 170mm.
Great video Henry, liked the style and the little extra tips. Could you do a service on a Lyrik next please.
Great vid and the red face at 12:52 was amusing :)
This is the first bike video ever one could confuse with Bob Ross (Joy of painting) :D
Great video yet again guys. Very helpful
Spring fork next please!
please do a similar one for triple clamp forks
Great guide! Henry, your videos are so helpful! Thanks. :)
more of these please :)
Great vid Henry. Had some great tips off you since you've been at GMBN. Fork uppers would be good and the duration between this sort of service.
I don’t even have a full sus but I watched it all, super interesting. Waiting for a fork one!
Henry is the man lol asmr
Thanks to this video I now know how to service my own shocks. My local Leisure Lakes is gonna be pissed.
You should do a 200h service video
Manitou Mastodon service next!
