This explains nothing other than that you figured how to put a zip tie on your suspension
It’s better clear for me. Turn to + and it will get harder, turn to - and it will get softer. But.. I think that depends on the pressure so there’s more to consider but it explains at least the basics 🤷🏻♂️
Powerslave271 I think as well from what I've read if you're fairly heavy rider like 100kg+ you turn it to + side if you're fairly light you go to -
That zip needed to calculate SAG % of fork, that must be between 15%-25% of total fork length while you seat on your bike. If the sag is greater or less than that range then you have to set the preload better. If the preload is at minim and your sag is too high, then try to + the preload, if the sag is under 15% let's say 10%, with minim preload, that means you have to change the spring inside fork with another softer.
Theres this thing called sag and the tie shows where the bike sits with rider weight. Want like 15-20% compression when on bike
@@Powerslave271 It's hard to believe anyone would need a video to explain this to them..
If you can't figure this one out by yourself you shouldn't be riding anything...
he explained it in 50 seconds without talking better than the wiki, thx
Fabulous 🙂 I have this fork and was scratching my head on what preload was and how I was going to adjust it. Thanks a mil and good luck 🍀
Nice video I learn how to use zip ties and scratch my fork trying to cut it off
I do it all the time, just put the zip tie on backwards so it doesn’t lock and then they come off really easy with no need to cut .
Lol 🤣🤣🤣
@@treechopperman it will still scratch the fork when it travels upwards after compression
Just use a rubber band
@@alexbvv yeah and all I have to do is remove the entire fork by pieces to put a single rubber band
that is the quickest
and most effective video i have ever seen on this subject.
BTW put a zip tie opposite so you can take out instead of cutting and scratching your fork first try it before putting ot fork
This video is embarrassing
this video fails. what does turning the nob left or right do? Do i turn it right to make it softer?? left?
This is what's i need TO THE POINT brilliant
What was the weighing scale at 0:07 for?
randomness
to tell me how much of a fat ass i am
I think it is for him to too see the same pressure he applied so that he can see the differences between the harden preload and soften preload.
So he can measure how many pounds per square inch of air pressure is in the tire
Now I already know what preload is in just 49 seconds compare to some 15 minutes vlog I'd watched
With the difference you actually don't know what it is: preload makes the fork harder but the spring is as strong as not having preload. You just make it harder to be compressed
I have a Rockrider st530s Sport Trail and my preload does not change anything, is that due to fork being trash or mine being defective?
Did you figure it out
Same
@@TomViolence89 just got a st530s. Same here as well. is that a thrash fork?
@@osman2k I disassembled the fork to see if the preload was working, and it works, but the coil is so stiff that it doesnt really matter if you adjust It. So, unluckily, it's a bad fork.
@@TomViolence89 if i can afford, i will upgrade it to a rockshox recon or something around that price range. Thank you..
can aynone explain better what he is doing? i have no idea and i have a basic coil suspension on my riverside 900 and trying to ensure it is all setup to go
And you now have a scratched fork 👍
Thank you nice and simple
Royal Lang sakalam
Can you just comment or make a video explaining what the zipp ties are for
Which version of rockrider is that?
Im pretty sure it's rockrider st530s sport trail, I have it, but might be something else because st530s is 1x9 and this one looks like 3x6/7 speed
It's a descontinued line. It was something like st 5.5
Bruh
I need to change the coil thing because I’m a a kid and I need a less stiff fork
Bruh I have the same problem
Can u please help me to adjust suspension of rockrider 540 preload side
Wich one more comfort?
Coil or air ?
coil. more sensitive even on small bumps
Air, I tought the wasn't a big difference, until I tried an air fork, that is my next upgrade
@@Relaxingmusic-ps9bd also air is more expensive cuz of how light it is
I actually have a Rockshox Recon which has a lockout+rebound but there’s a preload setting on it..
its an air fork.......... this is a coil fork
i cant turn my nob, its stuck can you help me?
Same
It went together easily in less than an hour. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.
my suspension is still very hard when i come down from a wheelie? what do i do?
You just need to minus it
Just need to turn anti-clock wise
@@prashu275 i did, nothing happened it still feels as hard
Which cycle are you using
@@prashu275 i have a giant talon 2 2020
guess what... I did not understand anything!!
You don't ride bikes dont ya?
Show one for the st100 rr
It's quite literally the same.
To be fair my question was answered!
looks like 30mm
what was the purpose of this video.?
It is to check on how preload works. As you can see the zip tie on the first pump, it goes all the way up because the preload is very soft. Now that he turned his preload to harden, he applied the same amount of pump same as the previous pump. Now the zip tie is not really that high like the previous one. It means the Preload is harden
Is this video serious
I really like to dislike
Why?
worst video ever
Worst video ever made
