      Not really lol. Just different tone. Try ask Morgan Freeman to narrate suspension setup. With Han Zimmer as scoring. And directed by Christopher Nolan.

    While I'm certainly no novice when it come to suspension setup, I still really enjoyed this..... Great info, laid out in easily to understand terms and the interviewer didn't interrupt with a bunch of useless replies. Well done guys!

      ThunderStruckCoach well put. I totally agree.

    This is probably one of the best suspension setup video's I've watched. I love how the focus is on setting it up to the rider. Notice how he glossed over sag/air spring rate and said that will change based on how hard you're pushing the bike. Explaining how he gets balanced and focusing on no compression unless needed to adjust ride high in certain sections of trail is huge. Much much better than the other sag/rebound/compression setup videos.

    This is the best technical video I have seen in quite some time. Chris Porter took a deep dive into the material rather than just handing out factory spec. guidelines. Although he suggested baselines he explained what to look for while adjusting for terrain/surface and rider style. Great explanations! Thanks so much! That was a true Master Class.

      Here I an one year later to seccond that. I would like to add that the reporter was great by staying silent and letting the master teach, his tone overflows knowledge and commands attention with ease... beautifull... as a newbie learned so much from this great video... I'm watching this 2 years later, still spot on.

    love his honesty. "don't use that" (the high speed compression on the fork). saying you should try to get the air pressure and volume spacers to do the work of getting it balanced and correct before you start using compression. Good stuff

  • @starsky8351
    @starsky8351 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video, Im a return mountain biker after an 18 year gap. Sooo much to learn. My other bikes were coil so good to get an understsnding. Ive had to learn all the riding skills again so Im not very agressive out on the track. I was only using half the travel from other recommended setups. I see now that I need to set it up for me and by current riding style. Thank you for this, great vid!

  • @l.carroll9076

    This is so good. I've been thinking about low speed compression a lot lately and this really set off a lightbulb for me. Using LSC to load either the front or the rear during corners is something that would have taken me a long time to come up with.

    How amazing would it be to have him setup our bikes! I've got missed feelings after watching this video. On one hand I now realize just how amazing a proper suspension setup it. On the other hand I'm wondering if I will ever even come close to knowing enough to get my suspension dialed in. Even if I think my suspension is dialed in today I'm going to wonder if it could be better. Great video!

    Did he just add one compression spacer in place of the red one? 80 KG myself and running about 170psi and already added one extra in place of the red one (three total) is it safe to run 2 extra total of 4 in a 2.25 shock?

    Ok, I weigh 95kg 100 at most. I ride a Giant anthem 2015 27,5 120 F 90mm R. I ride everything actually on this bike. I find it hard to hop a 10cm street curb without hitting denting my rear wheels. It's annoying. I know it's my tire pressure and suspension setup. What do you guys suggest?
    I currently run 95psi front and 235psi-240psi in the rear shock. rebound is one thing I don't understand. the rear is very slow just 2 clicks to fully open/slow and the front on fork is like halfway/12clicks (21 clicks altogether)
    I run 2.2 rear TR tires 38psi when dry and 28 in wet conditions 2.2 front 35 dry 26psi wet.

    Hi guys...I have a Rockshox revelation series 150mm fork...and I can not put any volume spacers i side becouse there is no thread on the inside of the air cap...those this mean that my fork isn't compatiable with volume spacers or I can buy a threaded volume top cap and put volume spacers inside

    • @MBRmagazine

      You should be able to buy a threaded top cap from SRAM that will let you run bottomless tokens. Cheers

    • @jamiedarlow3625
      @jamiedarlow3625 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Go For The Win, I've just used a regular bottle cage and fed some zip ties through it. I ran a short section of gear outer inside vertically down the cage though, to give the zip ties something to feed around. Also, there's a rubbery bit of old light mount under the bottle cage to give it some grip.

  • @neilclarke8817
    @neilclarke8817 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video but I’m still confused due to conflicting information on the net, I’ve Fox 34 Elite 2017, ride all sorts really but try to stay off fire roads. So the Ride Fox website says 15 to 20% for my model (actually they only list 120mm but mines 130) sag tool provided was for 120 as well. Most other videos including this one state 25 - 30% sag. So in my case rode all the black runs at my local trail centre fairly spicy i would say and only used 70% of my suspension all day. Do i ignore the FOX website and go with 30% which may help me use all my suspension or carry on using 15 - 20% and try volume spacers? Surly fox that designed the fork knows best?

    • @MBRmagazine
      @MBRmagazine  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Try a slightly lower pressure in the fork and slightly more sag. Don't add volume spacers, as this will only make it harder to use all the travel.

    • @neilclarke8817
      @neilclarke8817 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Mountain Bike Rider thanks for the reply - i meant to say take out a volume spacer - I’ll try more sag and play about with it
