mine always had play. yesterday when going down a trail it switched to MID and caused me to crash. Ran over a rock back tire jumped because if the lack of travel... Now I have a broken wrist.
I have tested other bikes on my local BS (Bike Shops ok!) they exhibit all the same "characteristic". But i have returned this bike a looong time ago. I now have a Giant Trance that I'm so happy with, and upgraded the fork with Fox.
danke ich tausch morgen mein gutes aber etwas älteres Fully gegen ein neueres und hab mich gefragt op mit dem Hebel vom Dämpfer alles in Ordnung ist. Ist es offensichtlich ... Danke ✌🙂
I have the same bike, and my lever is able to go right around in a counter-clockwise direction, from the open to the locked positions. I'm a newbie and this is my first real bike so I thought nothing of it. However, it caught my attention during a video on shocks, and now seeing this makes me wonder if mine needs servicing. Exact same Polygon Siskiu T8 bike. Owned for less than 2 months.
Could someone please explain what the 3 positions of that lever are meant for? I have an older model and was playing around with it and tried screwing it in by turning it clockwise because it felt loose and it kept making loud popping noises with each turn.
Lol this video is misleading. If you can feel three stages of compression differences in your shock, open, firm and lockout, then there is no problem with your lever.
I already forgot my settings, but I know I followed the Fox guide. I haven't been to the trails for months because I hate the heat and scared of snakes.
I’m assuming you are adjusting the air pressure. I have the same “issue” when following the OEM recommendations, its sagged at >40%. If I add more air, the sag vary very little

What fox fork did you put on & what year model trance ?
Mine is completely messed up coming from an Orbea. It’s open and no clicks on medium and firm, just one loose setting after open.
danke

Does anyone feel like the medium setting makes no difference at all or is that just me
I feel a difference in mines

It should stop and it should go around.
There's a little allen bolt H1.5 on the black hole next to the red roller, u have to tighten it so it doesn't allow the lever to go all around
Dude mine is a 2022 float and the lever can spin all the away around uggggg
Mine is on a 2023 trek fuel ex7 and does the same thing. What's the deal with the sloppy lever Fox?
Same on mine
hello, me too does that movement in locking, I wanted to ask you if it is normal or there is something broken
I have had 2 of the samr models on bikes frim different brands and they are the same...
So are you telling me that movement is normal?
@@saveriospeziali8217 yes

1. lockout - not real lockout 2. Mid - when you have up and down trails, 3. Full send ! :)
@@joriz5869not real lock…good news for me cause I’d brought used bike and I thank that it was wrong 😅
same as mine its normal
What's the red ring for?
Rebound damping adjustments
same on mine
does it have rebound?
Yes, the Red part

Trying to get mine set up correctly. What air pressure do you run? No matter what I do, the sag tends to stay at 50%.
I already forgot my settings, but I know I followed the Fox guide. I haven't been to the trails for months because I hate the heat and scared of snakes.
More pressure. It will sag less. Physics.
As a pressure, a good baseline is to run in psi the same you weigh in pounds lbs
@@joriz5869you really need to grow some balls.....
