  • RockShox Judy Is Finally Being Smeashed
    this fork changed the game for this cheap Specialized Pitch,
    Apparently, the link for this fork is gone already,
    It was $150 at the time of purchase so I'm not surprised that it's gone all ready
    There are more Upgrade to come on this bike so
    stay tuned

    Love your channel, especially the bike upgrade videos! You make it seem like we can all do it, so I decided to try. I have a Pitch as well, and jut did an upgrade to a Judy just like this! I'm now on to upgrading the drive train like your other videos. You should do a video on installing and setting up some budget hydraulic brakes. Thanks!

  • @alutious
    @alutious 4 года назад +4

    Nice job Mark. You didn't forget the star nut, you did it just right. I like your tool, i used a bunch of washers and an old top cap bolt. To put on the crown race people use pvc pipe. I can't remember what i used. Also note, cutting the fork requires the cut to be below the marked line, as the topcap needs to push down directly on the spacers so that the load is on the stem and not on the actual steerer tube (top part of fork). You did it right but didn't mention it so people may have missed that. My install took way longer because i changed the cups and bearings, don't get me started...but i did use a nice home made tool for that. Many file the cut fork, i used steel wool, and a hacksaw using the old stem i replaced to guide the saw lol. I am also paranoid about cutting and filing metal near where i fix my bike because i don't want hidden filings to get into my tires. Putting a fork on and juggling everything is really a pain, which you did easily - I attribute this to your parts tray. I put on a hydraulic brake so I'm glad i didn't have a cable that was inside any fork fittings like you had. I also left the fork a little long so i can juggle the spacers to give me some flexibility on moving the stem/handle bars. I think your fork removal may have been stubborn because the grease was old or there was some rust. My wife's steerer was like that. My silver TK coil fork is cheaper than your nice Judy. It looks great. I went from a fixed fork so any rockshox is a great improvement. And the 2nd fork i had to cut was way more expensive so it was good to cut my teeth on a cheaper fork. Nice job and props for the bike and parts stand! :-)

    You know, awesome edit man. I was looking for exactly this. I wanted to replace a Suntour with a Judy on my average ordinary base priced bike shop bike, in this case a Felt, wand I wanted to know if anyone else out there was making that basic upgrade and how hard it would be. You delivered perfectly ;-) By the way, if you keep a basic brass drift around the shop, you can smack that with a hammer and whatever you steel bit you are driving will dent the drift instead of destroying itself.
