you all prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can offer me
@Maddux Clayton thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Properly detailed and clear as ever... Especially using same pump (accuracy is a factor of consistency), and that reattaching pump drops pressure ONLY because air fills the pump (you do not loose pressure on fork when removing pumps)
This is a superb video. Really helped me so much!! Just bought my dream bike with full suspension & I had no idea of how to set up my forks or rear sus. Nobody else seems to mention the negative & positive air chamber things. Glad you explained it well. Thanks a lot.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you". I have recently built myself a reactor with the pike forks and I am still new to the setting up of forks etc. This is so easy to understand and I will go as far as to say maybe the best video that explains this on RUclips. Henry.......YOU WILL BE MISSED. Good luck in your future dude. Peace out
Excellent video for experienced, and those who are just learning to set up their suspension forks. I'm pretty experienced at setting up my suspension forks, and I got some valuable information on tuning and sessioning, to find that sweet spot we're trying to set.
Any chance of seeing that video Doddy spoke about making regarding the service/setup for coil forks like the Rockshox XC30 or similarly priced Suntours...ya know, the type of fork that are on most bikes under $1000 that many (most?) of your subs are riding on...
Will miss Henry, have become confident in stripping my shock and fork down while watching his vids. Great presenter who know his subject. Good luck buddy
I have 2 questions... 1. I understood what we are looking and feeling for up to rebound, but it wasn't very clear when it came to compression? He just says "it feels great" 🤷🏽♂️ 2. At the end he mentioned going back to sag if all else fails. Does he mean setting the sag with all the new compression and rebound settings you've input while testing? Or starting from scratch opening up the compression and rebound? Thanks guys! Very informative and helpful 🙏🏽
I downloaded the rock shox app, put in the fork model and my fat guy weight, it told me the exact pressure and rebound I needed, it was spot on and my bike rides amazing. I ride a Trek Roscoe with Rock Shox 35 gold RL, 160mm travel, 44mm offset, 15mm boost axle, 150 psi with -7 rebound
Rockshox 'Trail head' app is great for set up. But RS are well known for being simple and accurate to set up, v Fox or dvo etc. They defo lead the way in set up ease.
Many Rock Shox Forks Damping can be internally adjusted by changing some shims on top of the damper cartridge. Was expecting Henry to take the Fork apart and show us this!
bro i love your vids and you have great personality.. just calm cool and collected with lot of great insights and tips...this vid helped me alot on tuning my fork.. Thanx for taking your time to do all your vids it helps alot especially a newbie to MTB's like me... :) oh and sweet riding skillz, def some style points on those jumps my man.....
My rockshox recon is a squashy sound to it. I read some where its called cavitation. Not sure if it is or not but. Seems to happen on full compressions only though and i think on the spring up not on the down compression. Any thoughts and how to fix it? Is this a simple adjustment? Fyi its brand new. Thanks
I just want to know if I take the all travel spacers out if that let's the forks go lower before bottoming out or if the spacers stop the fork from extending more. I want more travel but don't want them going lower, as it is they go down only leaving 50mm or so of exposed shaft at bottom out, spacer should be 50mm in mine, so if they just let the forks go lower before bottoming out, I'll be almost smashing the top and bottom since there wouldn't be any exposed shaft anymore, plus I can't see the geometry of going 50mm lower when bottoming out being comfortable but if it prevents the forks from extending all the way and doesn't affect bottoming out then that would be great. (2k8 Specialized RHcomp29er w/Tora 318 solo air, bike specs say 80mm, service manual shows 80mm 100mm 130mm as options). I'd have to assume that the spacer isn't just basically a bottom out bump stop as then it seems like a totally useless feature but maybe it is just a gimmick? I can see manufacturers liking being able to adjust, limiting the travel as to not have it compete with other products with more travel? But if it's just a gimmick then I also get it being preset to 80mm as more might just suck..? Doesn't seem right but then I read about people intentionally limiting their travel, which I can understand in some scenarios like light xc or street riding if you don't need the travel but otherwise I wonder if it's done for better feel/performance because the max setting sucks? Hard to tell from the service manual pics and while I've torn apart and built lots of bikes and all their parts, the one thing I've never done is take apart forks but they're overdue for maintenance anyway and I'd love me a bit more travel for free as long as it doesn't kill performance or only result in going closer to the ground.. I never even knew any forks had such an option until looking at rebuilding them last day, didn't even know uturn was an option (though from what I can tell that just preloads a spring to make it shorter/longer to adjust travel which I can't see being as smooth/linear as air) .. also apparently I can put the argyle moco in to add floodgate adjustment also but I think that precludes the possibility of having a remote adjust/lockout upgrade which the tora can be upgraded for..never had a fork with floodgate adjustment so I dunno if it's worth it but it sounds interesting and I like tuning (I build and tune cars and engines) and apparently one can at least semi hack adjust the tora fg by using some creativity and plastic but.. and I'm not even fully clear on what the adjustment does, seems like it adjusts oil flowrate above/below piston? So would sorta adjust how fast compression/rebound could be? On cars, a ton is dictated by your springs not just dampers and air is rare especially in performance stuff but some dampers have a bypass adjust which sounds similar to floodgate adjust?
I've had the base setting from rockshox for a few rides now( 1 token, 100psi middle clicks of rebound) and I've blown through the travel a few times which isn't bad i dont think yet my small bump compliance is next to nothing. Feel like I have loads of stickion on the first part of travel. Im going to play with all the settings and put another token in and drop the psi to 80 and see how i get on.
Awesome explanation! So easy to understand and follow thoroughly. Thank you for makingand sharing all this information, seriously. Thank you. Keep up with the great work. 👍🏻
Henry thank you for the information,and details to fit my front shock to my weight and needs.It made alot of sense.Rather than 4 clicks your done.Yes it takes time but then again it fits my weight and needs.thanks
Indeed being consistent in the way you measure sag on the front is really the key for a good setup. I find myself really struggling with the usual methods. If you lean over the front you rarely do it the same amount. Easy to verify: measure the sag 3 - 5 times in a row without doing any change and I would be surprised if you get the same numbers all the times. For me that doesn't happen at all and it caused me wrong setups in the past. Maybe sitting on the top tube nearer the front could yield more consistent results. But another way I'm experimenting with now is simply pumping down the fork with my upper body weight while standing on the side of the bike. This seems to give me much more consistent and reproducible results compared to sag as to find the correct setup. I know I need about 50% travel when pumping down and this gives me a fairly good starting point with the pressure and this also happens to match what RockShox suggests, so I think I'm on the right path. The rear is much easier and consistent with sag measurements, just put your full weight on the saddle, done.
Yeah I don’t obsess over the sag set , ( trying to measure ) due to the variations you can get , I do a bit initially to get it close , but then go off feel as I adjust to get it right
I don't know if my eyes are failing me or he was using two different bikes with very different travel on the forks? One looked like about a 100mm travel and the other much longer, maybe a 160mm? 20% sag seems awful low to me but maybe that's more appropriate for that short travel fork. I have a Lyrik 170mm and RockShox's manual says to go for 30%-40% sag. Probably too model specific for this though. The video was very helpful, I think I can get my fork dialed in really well after watching this.
I feel like i'm going to become like Shia Labeouf shortly , rewatching all Henrys videos and developing small tears in the process, Bon Voyage guy.. Come back to NZ when you can.
So much good info here, will need to try this next time I ride. My Yari felt harsh so I dropped the pressure from 100 to 60 still gets good sag but rebound and compression is completely open now. However it seems that I have lost feedback and control somewhat. Will try these recommendations to see if I can find a good compromise between comfort and control.
Rebound is linked to rider weight and distribution, something neither this guy nor many others ever mention. Heavier rider(and or more weight on a specific shock) = more open (less damping) & Vice versa. I.e. Average weight rider / bike, flat terrain, neutral balanced stance = central clicks (front & rear) Heavier downhill rider = more open front rebound and comparitively closed rear. Lighter XC (uphill) rider = slightly faster open rear, slightly slower closed front... Etc.
Great video! When you talk about setting rebound by turning the knob to the right, does this mean looking onto the knob from a top (on the bike) or bottom viewpoint?
Bottom viewpoint. From bottom viewpoint turning rebound all the way right (ie clockwise) fully closes it - makes rebound very slow. Clockwise on my Rockshox Lyric is indicated by the turtle 🐢 icon. My Lyric has 20 clicks from fully open (rabbit) to fully closed. So to set mine I fully close it and then back it off 9 clicks counter-clockwise for general riding. If I’m taking a big jump line flow trail I click it 4 more times to the right to slow rebound way down to prevent getting bucked forward (over the bars).
GMBN losing its most natural, mindful and eloquent presenter. I think out of the whole team, Henry’s attitude to riding aligns the closet to mine. Good luck in all your future endeavours, Henry!
The RockShox fork setup website recommends -8 clicks for the rebound for me. What does the negative sign mean? Is that 8 clicks from rebound fully closed (turtle image) or 8 clicks from fully opened (hare image)?
Recently bought a bike with Rock shox Reba RL suspension, fox working very good, but remote lock not locking completely, in lock position 15-20mm damping observed, it is correct or i by any way can lock it completely.
Can anyone help if you using rockshox Lyrik or was used before, Im switching from xc30 tk coil to this fork and one of my friend told me that you need to change your front hub to install Yari fork than im now hesitating . My xc30 s hub is 100mm wide My has Yari and 110mm wide which he said you need wide hub to intall yari. Then I search for it then Yari and Lyrik seems pretty much similar on youtube. And also Im found on online shop that lyrik I found is no mm requaired. So please someone tell me do i need wide front hub and how much wide do i need in mm ? 110 or 115 ?
Hey guys, recently bought a vitus MYTHIQUE 29 vrx, gonna be riding bike parks and local trails a lot- would i need to upgrade the monarch r to a piggyback shock? Or maybe coik
Hi, I've got my sag set up perfectly now on Rock Show Seb fork (on my Trek Rail eMTB), but not sure I'm using enough travel; sometimes it feels a little hard. How much travel should I be using (on the kind of terrain you were on in this vid)? TIA, Neil
What is your opinion about the Formula Spngie Bottmless Tokens??? I think thats a great thing but i dont have them bev´cause i dont have a Fork where they would fit in.
Rockshoxs are dead simple to get dialled in.. you shd do a segment on fox's grip 2 forks and x2 shocks setup.. it can take a couple of weeks unlike with a couple of rides with rockshoxs.
#askgmbntech how much of an impact does temperature have on suspension setup? I did the full setup pre summer (more tiring than a full ride) and got really happy with my setup. On the last few rides the bike hasn't felt anywhere near as good. I think I'm up to date on servicing and the trails are still dry so wondering what else it could be. Only thing I notice as different is that it's a lot colder out.
this is probably the best suspension setup explanation i have ever seen, good job.
I didn't understand a single principle you explained, but I enjoyed every metaphor you used! 😂❤
This guy is a genius what I like about is his invaluable information and experience sadly he will be missed
EMGlifeforGAMING Adepoju didnt no he left ? He’s a very knowledgeable guy 👌🏻
Danny Lilley moving to South America somewhere. Talked about it in a dirt shed show.
CRE2342 wow, he’s gona be missed on was a joy to watch and learn new things. But I hope his next journey goes well
I'm so sad to hear he is leaving. He is the most technical broadcaster on GMBN tech...
shit hes leaving?? that sux... great guy!!!!
Love how he emphasizes its either better or worse. Too many people get hung up on pressures, clicks and tokens. Sorry to see him leave, awesome guy
you all prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can offer me
@Maddux Clayton thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Maddux Clayton It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass!
@Dante Billy you are welcome xD
All responses to this comment are bot spam, both sides of tbe 'conversation' (if it wasn't already obvious)
Properly detailed and clear as ever...
Especially using same pump (accuracy is a factor of consistency), and that reattaching pump drops pressure ONLY because air fills the pump (you do not loose pressure on fork when removing pumps)
Just don’t buy the REI shock pump it loses air connecting and removing. 👎
This is like watching a David Attenborough documentary about forks. But jokes aside this was extremely informative and well done. Thank you.
If you want to skip the intros, jump to 2:30 in the timeline
As always, great video. Will be a big loss for Gmbn Tech without Henry 😕
That's like your opinion, man.
Yep, totally will. Knowledge and clarity of presentation second to none
Foxtrot Mike Lima It is his opinion not just like it.
Yep,gutted your leaving Henry, hope everything you do in the future works out
This is a superb video. Really helped me so much!! Just bought my dream bike with full suspension & I had no idea of how to set up my forks or rear sus. Nobody else seems to mention the negative & positive air chamber things. Glad you explained it well. Thanks a lot.

Henry.......YOU WILL BE MISSED. Good luck in your future dude. Peace out
Download the rock shox app and it'll make setting up your fork super easy
Gonna miss this bloke when he leaves speaks in layman’s terms very well
russell jackson is he leaving?
Why and how do ya know? Must of missed something.
I were just thinking the exact same 👍
Henry finally resurfaced on pinkbike
Excellent video for experienced, and those who are just learning to set up their suspension forks. I'm pretty experienced at setting up my suspension forks, and I got some valuable information on tuning and sessioning, to find that sweet spot we're trying to set.
Going to miss these videos Henry.....all the best for the future
Best video I've seen on fork setup.
Great video! Realize now there’s a lot more I can do to fully dial-in my suspension. Much appreciated.
If Henry's brakes squeal, I guess it's ok mine do to
Mine scream and shudder
mine howl super loud
LOL!!! I keep having to re-adjust my back one. Shudders at certain speeds slowing down. It's getting better.
Any chance of seeing that video Doddy spoke about making regarding the service/setup for coil forks like the Rockshox XC30 or similarly priced Suntours...ya know, the type of fork that are on most bikes under $1000 that many (most?) of your subs are riding on...
Sometimes things are best explained in simple terms and then there is this. Great stuff.
One of the best set up video's - we need more of this style
Will miss Henry, have become confident in stripping my shock and fork down while watching his vids. Great presenter who know his subject. Good luck buddy
Found this very useful for setting up my new Pike Select+ here in late 2021
Allways watch GMBN and tech allways great explaining everything easy to follow . I have just got a set of rockshox yari charge and need to set it up
And the pronunciation is great to follow! Thanks 🙏🏻
I have 2 questions...
1. I understood what we are looking and feeling for up to rebound, but it wasn't very clear when it came to compression? He just says "it feels great" 🤷🏽♂️
2. At the end he mentioned going back to sag if all else fails. Does he mean setting the sag with all the new compression and rebound settings you've input while testing? Or starting from scratch opening up the compression and rebound?
Thanks guys! Very informative and helpful 🙏🏽
Excellent video. Thank you for this complete explanation on how to set RS Fork at best
I downloaded the rock shox app, put in the fork model and my fat guy weight, it told me the exact pressure and rebound I needed, it was spot on and my bike rides amazing. I ride a Trek Roscoe with Rock Shox 35 gold RL, 160mm travel, 44mm offset, 15mm boost axle, 150 psi with -7 rebound
You overforked the Roscoe from 120mm to 160mm? Wow, that's a lot!
There’s not many videos that explain fork fettling as well as this one. Well done 👍
Rockshox 'Trail head' app is great for set up.
But RS are well known for being simple and accurate to set up, v Fox or dvo etc.
They defo lead the way in set up ease.
Another quality video hq! You will be missed in GMBN Tech! Think we need a GMBN tech Quiz.... Doddy vs Oli vs Henry.... with Blake the Quiz master!
Just bought a new pair of Rock Shox that arrived an hour ago, then this vid was top of my feed 😂 spooky
Legend thank yiu for taking your time to post this I found it extremely helpful
Many Rock Shox Forks Damping can be internally adjusted by changing some shims on top of the damper cartridge. Was expecting Henry to take the Fork apart and show us this!
Excellent video, detailed and so well spoken. I'm a complete noob and this has been ever so helpful. Thanks!
Super nice explanation! How to set up for dummies... should be the title.. good job dude
Its worth noting that on the 2021 Debonair spring, the pressure equalizes whilst you pump it up, without the need to compress it
This video is hands down the best suspension video I have ever seen. Great work by the team at GMBN Tech!
I have the 290 reactor with 140 mm travel fork can i upgrade this to 150 or 160 and how will the adversely hurt the set up? Ty for any feed back.
bro i love your vids and you have great personality.. just calm cool and collected with lot of great insights and tips...this vid helped me alot on tuning my fork.. Thanx for taking your time to do all your vids it helps alot especially a newbie to MTB's like me... :) oh and sweet riding skillz, def some style points on those jumps my man.....
Thank you Henry! i will miss you on the channel.
The Brian Cox of suspension.
nice and detail. Does it the same way to set up the rear suspension?
Henry the viii... You will be missed, thanks for all your info.
I am the new set Spencer and forks RockShox on my specialist mountain bike can you give me the tips and any good 7:30
Great explanation but the link to the site for the Rockshox serial numbers is not in the description.
Yep...spreadsheet...printed off and kept with my shock pump🤘😁
My rockshox recon is a squashy sound to it. I read some where its called cavitation. Not sure if it is or not but. Seems to happen on full compressions only though and i think on the spring up not on the down compression. Any thoughts and how to fix it? Is this a simple adjustment? Fyi its brand new. Thanks

Download the rock shox app, it will help you set up your fork perfectly
You may want to do a fork rebuild to reduce friction.
Thanks Henry, as always you explain in detail all aspects of how a shock works. Most important part is how it works for me and my riding style.
Can you guys do a video on setting up Ohlins forks?? they are a real head scratcher to get sorted.....
Awesome explanation! So easy to understand and follow thoroughly. Thank you for makingand sharing all this information, seriously. Thank you. Keep up with the great work. 👍🏻
Henry thank you for the information,and details to fit my front shock to my weight and needs.It made alot of sense.Rather than 4 clicks your done.Yes it takes time but then again it fits my weight and needs.thanks
Wow! Nice! Definitely watching it multiple times again. Thanks

Interesting thanks. I also like to match the feel of the front & rear.
I feel like i'm going to become like Shia Labeouf shortly , rewatching all Henrys videos and developing small tears in the process, Bon Voyage guy.. Come back to NZ when you can.
Great video, perfect explanation. Really like it
Good information, helpfull! Maybe a 2020 Fox setup vs a 2020 Roxkshox 2.1 Charger setup?
So much good info here, will need to try this next time I ride. My Yari felt harsh so I dropped the pressure from 100 to 60 still gets good sag but rebound and compression is completely open now. However it seems that I have lost feedback and control somewhat. Will try these recommendations to see if I can find a good compromise between comfort and control.

Heavier rider(and or more weight on a specific shock) = more open (less damping)
& Vice versa.
I.e.
Average weight rider / bike, flat terrain, neutral balanced stance = central clicks (front & rear)
Heavier downhill rider = more open front rebound and comparitively closed rear.
Lighter XC (uphill) rider = slightly faster open rear, slightly slower closed front...
Etc.
Very useful information for a newbie like myself. Happy to know sooner than later. Thanks!
Thanks for the video, that was a very good and chill explanation! On a sidenote, Henry got so good at talking to the camera, I'll miss him :)
New to this channel today. Great video, simple step by step.... esp for RS this methodology just works. Thank you! Where is Henry going?
That was a VERY helpful video! Thank you!
where are the links he said that were gonna be in the description? thanks!

Pete West thanks!

Sort of off topic, what are ID of your rimes and size tires. Great video
GMBN losing its most natural, mindful and eloquent presenter. I think out of the whole team, Henry’s attitude to riding aligns the closet to mine. Good luck in all your future endeavours, Henry!
The RockShox fork setup website recommends -8 clicks for the rebound for me. What does the negative sign mean? Is that 8 clicks from rebound fully closed (turtle image) or 8 clicks from fully opened (hare image)?
So much wisdom and so well explained. Thanks, Henry!
Great video mate!
Recently bought a bike with Rock shox Reba RL suspension, fox working very good, but remote lock not locking completely, in lock position 15-20mm damping observed, it is correct or i by any way can lock it completely.
Articulated immaculately. This was great help
Can anyone help if you using rockshox Lyrik or was used before,
Im switching from xc30 tk coil to this fork and one of my friend told me that you need to change your front hub to install Yari fork than im now hesitating .
My xc30 s hub is 100mm wide
My has Yari and 110mm wide which he said you need wide hub to intall yari.
Then I search for it then Yari and Lyrik seems pretty much similar on youtube.
And also Im found on online shop that lyrik I found is no mm requaired.
So please someone tell me do i need wide front hub and how much wide do i need in mm ? 110 or 115 ?
@16:07 the brakes sound and the music sound is just perfect for unknown reasons lolxD
lol I noticed the same thing! Also made me wonder if I should trust a guy whose brakes don’t seem perfectly tuned!
Nice vid bro . as a 45 year old going onto full sus after a 10 year break im no longer confused Thanks.................
can you make a vid on how to set up your rockshox back suspension please
are this racing tires or hybrid mountain bike tires?
Hey guys, recently bought a vitus MYTHIQUE 29 vrx, gonna be riding bike parks and local trails a lot- would i need to upgrade the monarch r to a piggyback shock? Or maybe coik
brilliant.I actually understood all that.🤘
How does the compression dial work on a rockshox fork? I’ve been looking for an explanation but can’t find one.
Fork setup simplified. Quality vid Henry. 🤜
Hi, I've got my sag set up perfectly now on Rock Show Seb fork (on my Trek Rail eMTB), but not sure I'm using enough travel; sometimes it feels a little hard. How much travel should I be using (on the kind of terrain you were on in this vid)? TIA, Neil
What is your opinion about the Formula Spngie Bottmless Tokens??? I think thats a great thing but i dont have them bev´cause i dont have a Fork where they would fit in.
Great! Where is the rockshox link?
What a fantastic video, we're going to miss your style Henry
where is the link to that web page he mentioned @gmbntech
I will miss your videos when yer gone man, great stuff.
How much would a bike shop would charge for setting up mine i really don't want to mess it up and don't have tool's
This was so helpful! Thanks for the awesome explanation, you are the best!
Very good vid indeed
Great Video, simple and great explanation
Thanks, very informative and useful.
RS also have the quarq to really dial set up...u can hire them, or buy for about £200
@gmbntech hi guys, been wanting to know about bottom bracket height, why does the bb drop, surely there should be a rise in it for ground clearance
BB drop makes your bike feel far more stable. Your bike would ride like crap without it; it'd keep wanting to fall over.
Rockshoxs are dead simple to get dialled in.. you shd do a segment on fox's grip 2 forks and x2 shocks setup.. it can take a couple of weeks unlike with a couple of rides with rockshoxs.
Very true
I tend to think the same , I find a lyric/super deluxe combination , very easy to get it right
Another great video. This was so helpful thankyou gmbn...
Awesome video Henry, will definitely be playing around with my settings after this advice
#askgmbntech how much of an impact does temperature have on suspension setup? I did the full setup pre summer (more tiring than a full ride) and got really happy with my setup. On the last few rides the bike hasn't felt anywhere near as good. I think I'm up to date on servicing and the trails are still dry so wondering what else it could be. Only thing I notice as different is that it's a lot colder out.
Thomas Aspinwall psi usually goes up in hot weather, I set up my pressures in the parking lot, fork, shock, tires etc.
