Get yourself a cuticle trimmer for your finger, you'll find it in the same area in stores for nails. It's the long stick with the V-shaped tip to help with removing the locking ring. I have the same shock and found that this is one of the easiest way to remove that spring.
Thanks for showing me how to change my spring. Im used to just having the stopper be a "U" shape that you can easily remove. Kinda crazy how all that weight is being supported by that tiny ring o.O
Thanks for the video. At first it seems pretty confusing switching over from the steel spring to the SLS spring due to the different numbers, but you helped clear things up! Cheers! 🤘
@@jgaronbars Oo sabi ng website ngtry ako ng 425 pero almost nagbottom sa drops kya ng 450 na lng. yun lng hassle sa coil mppbili ng several coil to try it out
AL UYAMI sa akin eh nasa 330 yung recommended, pero tinaasan ko rin konti kaya 350 kinuha ko. isa nga yan sa disadvantage pag coil, magastos if papalit2x. hehe
my riding weight is around 63 to 65 kgs.. i based on tftuned. i chose a spring rate that’s a bit higher that the recommended rate just for additional bottom out support. 🙂
Dude the numbers are driving Crazy, My steel shock says the same numbers as you, 450x2.8, I have a Santa Cruz Nomad 5 thats 230 eye to eye and 62.5 Stroke, I really dont know witch SLS coil can fit on the bike. can yoy help?
bikebikepinas maganda ang coil sir kung progressive yung design ng suspension ng bike. pero pag linear yung design ng suspension ng bike, possible madaling mabottom out pag ngspring. kaya for linear suspension, advisable yung air shock.
sir, bakit po ang wheel travel na naka lagay sa spring calculator mo is 6.5 inches at hindi 8.5 inches mag kaiba ba yun numbers na yun 8.5x2.5 (shock stroke)?
yes sir.. yung sa tf tuned yung 6.5inches is yung wheel travel ng bike ko. yung sa akin 165mm yung wheel travel ko which is equivalent to 6.5inches. yung 8.5 inches eh yun yung eye to eye measurement ng shock mismo which is dapat match sa supported na mount ng frame mo.
@@jgaronbars thanks, tagal ko na ni fi figure out fox DHX2 set up ko now ko lang naintindihan, at 64kg mataas pala masyado ang 425lbs sa akin kaya pala parang bato inuupuan ko
@@monkey-mockingbird738 mataas nga yun sir para sa weight mo.. change spring na. 😁 maaappreciate mo yung suppleness saka traction if sakto ang spring rate mo.
yo estoy perdido, me he comprado el dhx2 2021 metrico 230x57.5 para una megatower, y no doy con el muelle adecuado para esa medida soy un poco ingenuo en eso
230x57.5 means your shock stroke is 57.5 which is equivalent to 2.26inches shock stroke. You should get a spring that has a spring travel of more than 2.26inches. But can't tell the maximum length of the spring you can get. 230x57.5 is not listed on the Fox DHX2 Spring Fitment table www.ridefox.com/fox17/help.php?m=bike&id=672 I would suggest you reach out to Fox or your local bike shop to check.
Long spring will compress more, its like a rod the longer the rod more it will bend end to end. So less coil will be firm and more coil will be plush. With the same coil thickness. It becouse of the torsion of the coil.

Is there repair kit for oil leaking?
hey Pare, i wanna ask , how accurate is the TF tune spring rate recommended for you ? im 96kgs Riding weight , and i'm worried about bottoming out
Bakod shock naton meg bah😁Parehos na ang color sang logo ka santa cruz🤘🤘🤘
JJ MTB oo.. amo nga ngchange ko spring.. para match sa color. 😁
Sir what is your body weight? Why did you choose 350lbs rate
my riding weight is around 63 to 65 kgs.. i based on tftuned. i chose a spring rate that’s a bit higher that the recommended rate just for additional bottom out support. 🙂

salamat bai. 🙂
nice bai.. asa ka nakapalit sls spring dre SG? RS bai.. 🤘
Isang reason kung bakit magpapalit ng coil yung kulay hehe. Di ko nakita kung ilang PSI nilagay mo 😂 Ang bigat ko talaga, 450 coil ko 😱.
Trail Master ganda kasi ng orange. 😁
Pang malakasang pwersa to bro ah
saktong pangdagdag pwersa lang pre. 😁
advantage of linger spring is that your bike is heavier ;)
how much travel does it have?
you mean the bike’s rear wheel travel? 165mm.
Hindi ako maalam sa spring shocks pero marami ako nakikita na ito ang gamit mas ok daw kesa sa air

Very Impormative Idol.. PM Sent ❤
Christ D'Man Canuto salamat idol. Reply sent. 😁
Saan po lalgyan ng hangin yan? He he he
MKABM Production hinga hinga lang sir.. pag gusto mo dagdagan hangin, inhale ka lang ng malalim. pagbawas naman eh exhale ka lang. 😁
Nyahahahahhaa
Panalo angkol
AngCoolTV salamat angkol. :)
Shorter spring = Less weight.
The fact you have to take the bushing out ☠
Hi, need to turn down the music, hard to hear you
thanks for the feedback. will keep that in mind. 👍🏻
Use a pick to remove that c clip. You can get a set of five at Home Depot for nothing.
