If you're a noob, count the number of clicks on the rebound dial from fully open to fully closed. Set it about half way (so 5 clicks if a 9 click dial). You ain't going to be too far off a reasonable feel! Generally speaking most folk set the fork to be slightly faster returning as it keeps the front responsive (unlike the rear shock which tends to be more damped), so maybe one or two more clicks off middle setting to a faster setting. Works for me, but is personal preference.
Sorry on my english. Good video. What I did is puting mobile on flore record front tire. Press fast and release bar, look video, set up rebound where your front tire dose not jump any more from ground. From there, click or 2 to fast or slow, see what work for you. I hope this will help someone. Safe riding
I've set the sag at 25% on my XC HT with 100mm travel air fork. But even at the supposedly slowest rebound setting, when I check for rebound speed, the tyre comes off the ground. I've been going with feel on trails but it's not 100%. On technical climbs, I make the rebound slower so the fork stays a little packed in since I'm not a fast climber and don't want to lose the front-end from the force 9f the fork expanding back to original position. On technical descents, I make it faster to the point where I don't feel like the front wheel is going to come back bouncing "through the bars". But on flowy single-tracks, berms decide how much the fork needs be packed in to be able to make the turn confidently. For me, the terrain determines a lot of where the suspension settings need to be at. On my motorcycle, I have electronic suspension settings which can be changed on the fly depending on riding style and road conditions. I've been applying the same principles to my MTB.
I’d suggest that, after setting your sag, refer to the user’s manual. Rebound setting depends on your air spring pressure. Fox’s tuning guide has a pressure vs rebound “clicks” table which is generally spot-on for most riders.
I've yet to have any Fox set up guide where your weight range to how much the air pressure matches to get the correct sag. Seeing as the rebound advice is tied to the air pressure makes it a puzzle, for example, my weight bracket is 72-82 psi =rebound 10 -8 but to get the correct sag (30%) I have to put the air in the lower range which is in a lower weight bracket 58-68 kg = rebound 11-13.
Not for me they have my weight to 1 click on rebound being heavier to start off but I'm good at 8 fork hardly moves for me at 120psi there is 5 volume spacers in there I'll need to remove to 3 and test it as can't touch the psi as set at sag, im new to this well reintroduced after 15yr as had coil rockshock Judy's for years
Basically it’s personal preference. Start in the middle and go a click or two in each direction till you like the feel. There is no magic formula to setting it.
I want to use all my front suspension. Not completely bottoming out but close. Right now I only get about 50% of the whole travel during even my hardest rides. His do I adjust this?
you could start bike checking your spring rate, or the psi in your fork. Sounds like you could try lowering it a little bit. maybe try 5 psi at at time
i have a sr suntour epixon 27.5, i bought the red rebound to attach on respective nut.... but I CANT FIND how the long stick of the red piece works, because ok it goes inside the nut that goes across the fork, to screw the cartidge gas inferior part , to stay rigid but...there is nothing inside to use the stick of the red piece, there is no left or right because when turning the red piece, it does not work with any other piece inside the cartridge bar to "activate" something. can anybody help me? thanks a lot!
Great example of too fast and too slow, but you didn't really tell us how to set it. You just said, "turn it a few times" and "yeah, that looks about right" which isn't really that helpful. No offense intended, I was just hoping for something a little easier to follow for my noob ass.
Dave Dyer a quick starting point I use is to set rebound is where you lift the front wheel off the ground and drop it, it does not bounce up off the ground. Again, I use this as a starting point and it seems to get it pretty close for me. There is a similar trick for the rear shock and lifting the whole bike up and dropping it. Check out Clint Gibb's channel as he has a great video on doing both fork and shock...
This one have a bit more explanation th-cam.com/video/IqB98ACIs4M/w-d-xo.html And this one I've saved to setup my fork th-cam.com/video/xhnKTZu2AKs/w-d-xo.html I did have another one like the second I've provided, but can't find it. I hope that helps.
Great video. I don’t understand why Fox, or any fork, has the extreme slow or fast settings, ie the pogo stick, or the slow rebound. Seems like it just makes sense to keep it on the middle setting. Do you know of any riding styles or reasons that you should keep it pogo like or really slow?
I had a bad axident on a Fox 34 140 damper. Really bad. Now I know why, its not a good system, it lacks "middle" some how. If let say you ride trails (flowy ones) with some uphill, rapid back down kindo, no bigger jumps more of a berm orientated, gio slower rebound. Pure down? a bit mor rapid. Open??? Pogo scary.
I'm 6'7" and 24 stone, Im at the very limit of the settings and very glad it has the rebound damping to, almost, cope with the fork pressure I need. That's why.
Ignore sag it's not a useful measurement, go for feel and travel usage, as for rebound it entirely depends on the track eg fast rocky or jumpy and don't forget folks any compression adjustment you make affects rebound ....
Mines just started doing it today. I let some air out of the suspension and on rebound it has that airy noise. I have had my bike 3 years and never heard it before...its kinda annoying.
Why wouldn't this just be set to the right setting because you wouldn't want all the way open and all the way closed? So why not just have it to where you dont have to mess with it down the factory. Dont know why theres such a big range of rebound.
It doesn’t matter how it looks or feels to someone else. Only YOU can adjust YOUR fork to feel good for the way YOU ride. Setting it to someone else’s settings will not help you.... you need to find what feels best in your style of riding.
Actually the only video to explain fit4 rebound in 2024 nice job

So good to see the eating part at the end.
Finally, a simple explanation. Thank you.
works great, very happy with this product
So when I drive in the city and I never hit repeated bumps one after another but just one small curb or so... is it better to set it return slower ?
Thanks so much! I just got a fox 36 end this helped me alot

I’m new to MTBiking full suspension and just bought a canyon spectral AL 125 and I don’t know how or if my suspension is setup right I think it is
Why are the forks making a swishing noise as they come up? Is this normal? I just started mountain biking and my bike makes a similar noise
I have the same thing. I asked my local bike shop, and they said it's just air...
How about preload, negative softer rebound positive for harder rebound? Correct me if i am wrong.
Yes

Wait so turning it to minus will make it come back faster and turning towards the plus will make it slower?
Or am I wrong?
You are right. + means more damping, so slower. - means less damping, so faster.
@@MBRmagazine AH thanks that makes alot of sense
No wonder my fork is slow af😂
Thanks, very informative.
What setting is ideal if youe riding only on a road.
Probably just lock the suspension
I have a Fox RL fork and I don't have that rebund trigger what do I do to adjust it?

If you are too stupid to turn the dial til it suits you no tutorial in the world can help you. Maybe start in the middle like with everything else?
TH-cam User nice. You really got me there TH-cam User. So much for a constructive dialogue, anonymous coward.

magnificent Al
i have preload adjustment on my fork but it doesnt make so much difference even if i adjust it to lowest or highest
i can never get used to the rear setup on the left and front brake and dropper on the right
There are much better videos on TH-cam that explain Rebound Set up in more detail
Could You Send The Link?
Someone help bc my rebound screw is just spinning
For some reason my rebound screw is not moving
sir. can i apply this to manitou machete?
Ignore sag it's not a useful measurement, go for feel and travel usage, as for rebound it entirely depends on the track eg fast rocky or jumpy and don't forget folks any compression adjustment you make affects rebound ....
What make of bike is it?
What bike are you using?
Looks like a Mondraker Foxy XR.... Judging by whats written on it.
What about rear suspension?
This fork is not to soft ?
It may have been set with lower than normal pressure so he could compress the fork easily for the video. (just a guess)
@@MrRay645
Yea..this is possible.
Is that compression noise normal? I have the same thing (but louder) and I thought there was something wrong with it
I’m not sure my fork also does that
Mines just started doing it today. I let some air out of the suspension and on rebound it has that airy noise. I have had my bike 3 years and never heard it before...its kinda annoying.
Why wouldn't this just be set to the right setting because you wouldn't want all the way open and all the way closed? So why not just have it to where you dont have to mess with it down the factory. Dont know why theres such a big range of rebound.
Different weight riders need different air pressures, so the rebound damping has to control different spring rates.
What is this bike called?
Mondraker
Yo Al
Yo Tomi!
Couldn't reply to Your last greeting, cause they've removed the video, where You commented my comment. Sorry.
They removed Al's video....bastards!
Oh and hey Maciej!
Well my rebound fell out i have a coil fork and i cant get it back in and it doesnt make clicky noises
Al rules
How about if the forks has two dials for rebound? High speed and low speed, my brain hurts...
Open high fully and just adjust the low
When your fork comes back up it makes a wierd air leaking noise is that normal
not very articulate on your instructions there bud.
your fork cost more then my whole bike... i have string forks...
Don't adjust your rebound just using the weight of you bike lol, you need to have all your riding kit on for starters mate
yeah, that looks about right" which isn't really that helpful.
It doesn’t matter how it looks or feels to someone else. Only YOU can adjust YOUR fork to feel good for the way YOU ride. Setting it to someone else’s settings will not help you.... you need to find what feels best in your style of riding.
This was no help at all, what a waste of 3 mins
that’s terrible advice,
First time I've thumbed down on of your videos.
What did you find wrong with his advice?
