How to use GREASE instead of volume spacers to make a more progressive fork
มุมมอง 4393 ปีที่แล้ว
I’m leaving this video up so that people who are curious about making their rockshox recon fork more progressive with grease can find a definitive answer about whether it’s a good idea. It’s not. The grease that you put in will eventually make its way into your negative air chamber and cause deteriorated fork performance or damage.
BEST way to improve a BMX U Brake

BMX U brakes hardly work at all. It’s no wonder that lots of riders just take them off their bikes. Do this mod to give yourself tons more braking power!

Great job man!
Don't think this works on Fox Transfer circa 2018?
i'm doing odyssey springfield ubrakes face out
Thanks man, u solved a big dropper post roblem 4 me🤘♥️
Thanks for this video. I did a version of this on my PNW coast suspension dropper. On that post there are 6 much smaller brass keys. I had to cut a small zip tie (~10 cm) lengthwise so it was ~1.5mm wide. I only wanted to shorten travel by 1 cm so I cut them into 1 cm sections. A little tricky to insert and get everything sorted but it's working perfectly, reduced travel by 1 cm!
So the acolyte will work great with the microShift 9speed 46t cassette?
Yep! I’ve got a bike using the acolyte derailleur, 9 speed 11-46 cassette, and advent 9 speed shifter. It works perfectly.
I've tried this on a syncros but can't screw the top part back on with the zip. Not sure if I can make this work, maybe I've missed something
Please add video, with process how you done and what parts need to buy. Thanks if you do it
Anybody tried this on KS rage?
Depending on weight im guessing as these will crush easy under load?
The spacers don't hold any weight, just limit the travel. The weight is still supported by the oil within the post mechanism. Here's a good visual of how a dropper post works. th-cam.com/video/0Bg2E8YgF-w/w-d-xo.html In essence, the spacers are doing the same thing as lowering the post by whatever height they are, without having to do that every time you put the post up.
CrIss crossing a stradle cable around the seatpost works pretty good to
con que motor la instalo shimano deore ?
I’m late to the party but this basically turns rear u brakes into front u brakes I might give it a go
one of my pedals the cap came off and now its loose. You can buy rebuild kits for the V8's would they also work on the v6?
How is the longevity? Im abou to try with my iridium dropper and im curious if this still works after some time
Just buy a new set
Get an Odyssey gyro and a London Mod so you have twin cables. Replace standard rolled metal springs with CNC squared ones cut from a solid block. And maybe upgrade the brake pads (with a diacompe fiesta kit if your'e running AD996 Hombres) and throw some titanium bolts in there too. But deffo go for a twin-pull system rather than a single pull one as featured here. Plus gyros are just better than having some hipster crap. Peace
That's a rebranded tranzx seatpost and they use similar method to adjust available travel droppers.
@brantmoore what do you think of this theory ?
It's very interesting for sure. I might try it out. Did you use a V brake level?
Is anyone Acolyte's clutch still working? Mine was not working after 2years. Is anyone experiencing this?
Still working here. I can’t think of what would be going wrong inside there, the chain tensioner literally just winds the spring tighter. Don’t be afraid to open the whole thing up, it’s cool to see how simple everything is inside. Also, Microshift warranty claims are easy.
best tip ever!@ thx!@
Thanks for your video! I am trying to troubleshoot a trans x 100 mm dropper that came on a bike I purchased, the post is very spongy when you sit on it moving two or three inches, when I removed from bike I noticed that you cannot manually flick it and make it rise, and it will never lock into a lower position, any idea what may be going on before I attempt to disassemble this thing? Sorry for the rambling message and thanks for your time!
I can't believe this exists. Been grappling with this idea and looking for a solution for years, now I just feel stupid.🤣 Thanks bro, will share far and wide!
My god, I can't believe modern BMXs have this shite setup. Back in the 80's side pulls were brilliant. Even V brakes are better than this antiquated cantilever crap. FFS.
I've just done this mod on my WTP Audio 22, works great. I found that looping the cable around the seat tube made the v brake noodle rub against the tyre so routed it straight to the brake. Could be I need to take up the slack a bit more to make it work around the seat tube, I'll try it out and see if it works. Thanks again 😀
Will I need to do this on my Haro extreme x6?? I really don’t wanna have to order a crank puller to find out after tightening
Both of mine started doing it yesterday that was the weirdest noise I've ever had come out of a bike 😂
I just did my straddle delete. Much more stopping power I see
That’s a brilliant hack. I had to buy shoes with a deeper sole, thinner pedals and a low profile seat 😂
What about using foam rings as volume spacers? I will try
How do you remove the crank arm do you need a special tool
The tool for removing the crank arm is the same as a square taper crank removal tool, except with kind of a larger button tip.
Seems like it would be easier to just set your brakes up correctly. Also try filling a bit of the breaking surface off of new pads before installing them.
Well I'll be damned. That worked.
I know this is an older video, but do you know what revision of advent you have? i know the advent x has a v2 model and it might fix the issues on the v1, that is if Microshift considers the clutch play a fault, i can't find any info online about this
This is v1. It’s my understanding that v2 has the same clutch as v1. However, the sword derailleur has a redesigned clutch with more engagement.
The sword is a gravel group tho correct? Is there any difference between gravel and mtb drive train outside of pull ratio ?
@@mackenziebullied4900 Sword groupset has same pull ratio as the other advent/acolyte groupsets.
Ever tried the bent spoke replacement of the straddle cable? Works pretty sweet.
Going to try this on a old school mountain bike
Bro it's brilliant, I did the same thing on the rockshox reverb, one screed was enough! Thanks
I did it my self and can confirm, that it works!
Will this idea work using a Gyro ?
I have a 8 speed microshift mezzo drivetrain and I struggle with chain drops, can I just get the acolyte rear derallieur? will it work with 8 speed cassette and the mezzo shifter?
Finally got this done. Took me well over an hour, first time I've ever ran a new cable and messed with brakes. Took quite a bit of adjustment, had to cut the cable and housing a couple of times too. Nearly destroyed the new cable😅but now it's done it's amazing, she clamps like a vice! No more fussy straddle gubbins, looks much nicer with the noodle. Highly recommend OP's Ubrake transformation. Feels like a brake that working much more efficiently
anybody tried pairing advent 9 with a 11-50 (9 speed still) cogs?
dont understand why they differentiate between XLE which is compatible to Shimano and AdventX, which has same shift ratio. Also XLE is availble for 11speed, AdventX only 10speed.
How was it done ?
Will the Advent derailleur work with the 9 speed Mezzo shifters?
Is it safe to remove them?
Yes. The spacers are there to be added or removed to get the best fit for your bottom bracket.
@@LandonArkens I found your video after I had already put on the crank and chainring all together and torqued down. Crank was so stiff to turn. I didn’t know why til I found your video. I had to order the tool to push out the crank so I can remove the spacers. Currently waiting for the tool to arrive. But your video gave me insight about why it was so hard to spin. Your video helped! Thank you!
Confirmed Acolyte works with Advent X 11-48T cassette and Pro shifter. I'm running it now with just a longer B screw.
Yep, I second that. $120 shipped for that drive train option. $40 for Acolyte, $45 for cassette, and $30 for the trail Pro shifter.
I'm using it too. There is a TH-cam video that confirms pull ratio of Acolyte, Advent, and Advent X.
@@raylaux8295 great info to know. It’s funny that microshift specifically says acolyte only with with acolyte shifter. Event advent stuff says it works with other advent.
@raylaux8295 what website did u purchase all the 3 items? So the 9 speed derailleur works great with Advent x?? If so I'm trying your set up as well . Thanks
@@JesRobles-b9x Universal Cycles I believe. Amazon for the cassette.
I found this out a while ago. The acolyte derailleur does shift smoother, and that is mostly do to the fact that the "clutch" it has is actually not a clutch. It essentially just as a much larger and stiffer tension spring. The button that turns the clutch on actually just increases the tension on the spring. Now I do worry about getting chain slap on really rough trails, so I only I don't recommend this setup for much more than xc trails.
