I need this guy to rebuild my bike.
Haha
Actually , i also need this guy to rebuild my bike as well
Also
Ok

Great vid dude the only things I’d do differently would probably change all seals once I’d gone to the trouble of a full strip down, for what they cost. Also never go near a seal with a knife if your planning on re-using. Still good work man
Thanks Danny. To be honest - it is really rare for me to replace the seals on my forks. And the knife - it's my good old friend ;)
Thanks for the video, unfortunately it was not done for two years, I'm trying to try my hand following your tutorial but the negative part is blocked, I can not pull it out more I do not come out as if it were completely dry; how can I do?
Se te olvido poner los resortitos de los empaques
How much oil to pour? And what?
LOL the difference in the lock out knob from 13:17 to 13:19 . I'm guessing external snap ring pliers were not used
Best comment lol
Best 10 bucks I ever spent!
i watched the entire thing and i dont even own a bike
Dammm
Im going to do this what could go wrong.
This is basically the only thing I go to the bike shop for.
Things like brake bleeding and derailleur adjustments I can handle myself, but this one.. damn.
Still quite informative though. 😆
the music put my to sleep i woke up it was over
This bike didn't need maintenance. Just look how clean and neat everything looks!
It's a demo/tutorial... better to show what it should look like rather than what it shouldn't
Who else loves the 70,s porn music in the back ground?.
THats what i thought if i watch this and someone comes into my room and only hears the music they will think im watching porn xD
The best part about this video is that he is cleaning basically a brand new fork that already looks fresh so it looks effortless.
Yes, ineer parts are perfectly clean and new, makes no sense.
@SleepyclaN Zz most of the rust is on the crown race which you can replace. Whatever left that is on thr steering tube is minor. There is no problem
👍👍👍👍
Thank you. Your video helped me... determine that I should take my bike to a qualified bike mechanic.

why I'm watching this .. I even don't have a bike :/
0:30 The spray cans noise and the background music melody are the same
nah bro
@@thatbikeguy4800 you a bitch
yes, it's the rhythm that matches. cool, thanks for the spot!
Am I the only one who is watching this just for satisfaction?????
Yes
Watching this video actually lowered my blood pressure, very relaxing n therapeutic.
13:15 didn't have a spring removal tool eh? damn... o.O LOL
Yeah, notice that too, lol
Forced with a screwdriver....
4:31 Dust seals must be replaced every 50 hours.
If you dont do it, you are risking the failure of the dust seal where the spring seats.
That will result in a direct contact between spring and upper leg.
If this happens when you are riding, then you are going to have an upper leg scratched by the spring since the leg will be moving up and down against the spring.
Dust seals are not to be inspected just by looking.... You cannot see their internal material fatigue.
You got to remove it every 50hrs in order to avoid this particular damage of the plastic spring seat being bended / taken away / broken by the spring ....
The 50hrs kit is there not to avoid it. It is there to buy it for some reasons.
Good luck!
My wife could only hear the video and she asked if i was watching porn... I said yes
There were a lot of rods going in holes
Not to mention lubricating
Lol

If you ever try to do something to Ukraine we and NATO will destroy you
Is this Quarantine porn?
not really,
Dream build to be exact
I’de rather pay for the service than dismantling my fork... 🤪🤣🍻
Ah, I see I didn't know what cleaning meant. Silly me.
Я который зафигарил туда силиконовой смазки: ок
Really doesn’t look very difficult. Good video I’m positive I can do it myself now
You did
you scratched the anodized part very much! not a good job!🤮 13:14
Dis gaj its wery Gut mechanik maj frent
Hungary?
I was just about to write in the comments that he needs to invest in a circlip pliers😖
If i try all this i will probably won't have a fork afterwards
Same, i have the same problems like him but I'm scared to fix it
@@pineapplebeats2771 bike mechanics exist u know
Very detailed video, thanks for uploading. Warning, music is NSFW, lol.
I will go to the bicycle engineer shop and say : SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY ! Do it for me 🤣🤣🤣
Same to😂😂
I have coil suspension on my giant
I watched your coil suspension video and I’m just here for the sake of it
OK that was insane. I've never taken shocks apart, I thought it was as easy as adding oil to the top. Lol
do not use oil for air springs, use calcium grease instread
do not remove rebound rod if all okay, because you can damage seal o-ring and oil from damper will leaks to the lowers while riding
A very thorough tutorial, and just goes to show how important front fork servicing really is. Thanks for sharing.

I have to do the first Service on my Zeb Ultimate soon, i am more than Uncomfortable doing it myself...
Bit less after this Vid, but the Intenals are bit more coplicated :/
How are they compared to a lyrik? Check out GMBN vids too 👍
nice and informative! but whats with the porn music? lol.
Very informative and satisfying video. Thanks :)
Yikes! I used to take Sony Walkmans & turntables apart, repair them and put them back together. This is pretty much the same. Not going back to that!. But kudos to the tech who is demonstrating this. More than "good job" -- WOW!
I recommend anyone attempting to do this to video yourself so you can get all the parts back in the correct order.
You are a female so no you didn't
YUKI JINJUJI - Wow.
Any ideas on how to separate a seized Judy? No movement at all either way. Opened it up removed the spring and drained the oil from the other side. Thinking of removing the fork seals to see if anything nasty is hiding under them. Any help would be appreciated.
6:24 I usually do that on my girlfriend.
If you need to, maybe she doesn't like you enough.
🤣What a dirty if
@@lucam.4033 Cant help that your GF always has diarrhea when its time for some fun.
@@oliverxvi4373 OOOOOO bro u destroyed him
So that's what they meant by lower oil. Why is this done? Does this distribute heat better to the outside? I can't imagine it lubricates super well, unless the manufacturer expects it to slosh up and down a lot in bumps.
why am i watching this i only have an xct fork lol
Ciao, ti seguo e i tuoi consigli sono ottimi, ho una richiesta da farti ho una forcella manitou markhor 120mm, devo effettuare la manutenzione o sostituzione della cartuccia blocco.
Non riesco a capire quale chiave svita la cartuccia. Sembra una torx ma ha i denti molto larghi.
Mi puoi aiutare. Grazie
I saw what you did to the blue lockout cap, you should really invest in retaining ring pliers for seeger/safety ring removal. :)))
scratched abit lol
This flick is totally hypnotizing.
Finally I found just what I was looking for, thankyouthankyouthankyou -
Witam czy amor RockShox Reba mogę serwisować w ten sam sposób bo mój ewidentnie wymaga już inspekcji i serwisu? Super filmik dziękuję i pozdrawiam 👍👍👍
Could you list a producs of what you are using please...type of grease etc...
Sram butter, suspension oil of correct wt, seal kits. that's the stuff you be putting inside,
I wish i could do bike maintenance in a white void.
u scare me by using a knife to remove o-rings and seal springs
Hey Sick Biker, that was sick. 💘 just kidding. No I wasn't. That was awesome. I'm saving that 🎥 for future reference. Aloha
13:15 Vorher...... 13:18 nachher xDD schöne kratzer
Без пиздежа, зато все понятно.
Im from the Philippines and i want a mtb bike but i dont have money to buy😥😥😥
back in 1980 we started to get into BMX I built my bikes from parts I found at the junkyard. BMX parts were not being thrown out then so I had to get creative. I had the only 3 speed BMX
Bro start food small business and save money for it. 👍
It’s like taking apart a pen and assembling it again
Hiç bişey değişmemiş

Ten ruch widelca w uszczelniaczach z początku filmu mam w pike 2020 który mam od niedawna. Przejechałem może z 40h i tak skacze. Dziwnie to czuć w kierownicy.
Kupiłem już lepsze oringi i będę robił service

You should not use knife to remove something delicate. Cleaning inside the tube, air pressure i think is the best not to contaminate the oil with lints.

Awesome video, it gave me the confidence to do this on two bikes.
And nice porno music at 3:22
LOL
Netflix: Are you still watching ?
Someones daughter: 5:15
Nice video! One Question can you exchange the fork damper oil without removing the lowers? Or will some oil remain at the bottom under the sliding seal so you don't know how much you need to put back in?
All the dislikes are from bike mechanics
he says gently tap the bolt with a malet..... than all u hear is bangggg
Give someone 10$ and don't do all this 😂
Nobody does it like this for 10 dollars.
Sram charges $180 + shipping and tax
Great video thanks, watched this to strip my 2010 Revelation Race. Some differences on the internals but not massively. Ready to have new seals fitted and be re-assembled tomorrow, hoping that will sort out my leaking negative chamber!
Cool, do this overhaul from time to time and the fork will run smoothly for years.
@@cannondany Turned out nothing was wrong with any seals, the foam on the positive air piston had completely dried out and that seemed to be causing the leak. Re-oiled and regreased and it's all running smoothly again :)
This is a satisfying video.
hi folks just find out how to assemble the damper and it was hard to figure out.IMO dont take apart the damper.No need for that just change the upper and lower seals of the damper.
Hi how did you assemble the damper i got problems that the lockout wont work.
really nice video, keep up the good work!
i had to giggle a little bit when seeing the scratched damper cap (?) after removing the clamp :D
BUENOSIMO ME ENCANTO A ESO HAY QUE CUIDARLO COMO ORO VES UN EJEMPLO
Much easier than you'd think. Take your time. Makes for a smoooth operating fork! big difference if oil is old. There aren't parts that are easily put in backwards, dropped, springs that jump out and that kind of thing. Easy out, easy in. I've done a few (RS Blackbox, Foxes, all easy enough, even if you are, like me, not mechanically inclined). Revise that "tap gently with mallet," to "beat the snot out of that bolt," as that is sometimes the case, it slowly works loose after many medium taps.
You forgot the dust seal springs!
6:30
I need this guy to rebuild my bike 🚲
Dont take the damper apart - it never goes back together!
Yes it goes
i did try to service my fork before, not gonna do it again, feel like riding a kangaroo on my bike.
Why did you pull the dust wiper springs off for absolutely no reason whats so ever? lol
Making the job look more complicated than it actually is thats my guess lol
when i changed the oil (i used hydraulic oil as new one) i put about 200ml in both stanchions (220mm travel, both spring) and it wasnt working soft, even i didnt pump my air out, and then i losened the bottom bolt and oil came out to i think 50ml, it works better but still not how i wanted. could it be air?
Kuzman make sure you look up your model fork and add the right amount of oil to it
Matt Priebe its really old so i cant really know, i added now 50ml
@@sc_273 Hi, I downloaded the SRAM Rockshox Technical Manual 2010 off the SRAM website. It gives detailed technical instructions for each fork model and also the correct quantity and weight of oil for each fork model. I haven't started my service yet and I am no expect yet, but I think you put most of the oil into the damper side. You only put a small amount in the air side. I get the impression most models need two types of oil, one light for the damper side and heavier in the air side (very small quantity). Don't take my word though, please check the SRAM manual. Good luck :)
Okay,,, we get it,,,, clean the fork!!!
Does anyone have a good recommendation of a coil fork I can buy something that around 200 to $300?
I gonna switch back to coil from air.
Coil is just so much more fun and smoother.
Epixon or manitou
The lockout/damper is re assembled incorrectly, you must pre load the spring before you engage it to the valve, you know it's done properly as you can't turn the lockout with your fingers as the spring is too strong.
He would have found that the lockout doesn't spring back after this service.
Thats what i was thinking as the lock out normally springs back as its meant to be used with a rockshox lockout lever
Butchered the damper circlip groove, and I wouldn't use a knife blade to remove an o-ring I wasn't replacing.
Still a useful video, thanks.
since it was overhauled, changing of o-rings should have done also.
Peace be upon you. I have a bike. Lee Cougan nitro 29 I want to know what you think about it, what its capabilities are, and thanks
And da beat was mean while he did it!! 😎👍🤝🤘
Jesus Christ loves You. He has already forgiven all your sins. You are saved!
It is a very hard work cleaning a very clean fork ha!!
A full rebuild would be to replace dust seals & the bushings too, bushings have to be replaced if you experience play, neglecting this will result in damage.

and?
Great video, my lockout has stopped working on my Rockshox recon sl forks, they also make a clunking noise when compressed will this service fix them or is something broken internally?
It could be a broken cartridge and/or lack of oil
Good recovery, sick biker. I hope you won t be sick one day.
Are ALL RockShox Forks good? 🤔
Or are there also not so good ones?
wow, this video came from parallel world
this guy makes amazing videos. Seriously, I watch a ton of tutorial style videos. This is the best of them.
Beware! The Rockshox service manual, as well as this and other videos, recommend cleaning the inside of the lower legs by shoving a cloth down the leg
wrapped in a dowel. Looks fine. When I pulled out the cloth it dislodged the inner spring. Not the foam seal, not the outer spring but the inner spring. I
didn't even know there was an inner spring on the dust seal. The spring appears to be impossible to set with the dust seal attached to the leg. Now I
have to figure out how to remove the dist seal without damaging it. Other than the manual and this video are fine. Anyone have any info on dust seal removal?
Pretty easy to take out with a flat head if you are gentle with the prying. Just make sure you have something to put them back in like a pvc tube the same diameter, your fingers will thank you. Also if your spring stretched just get a new seal they are pretty cheap.
Hie guys lam from Zimbabwe pliz help me which type of oil should l use in my air spring fork
Chill background music 😎
Can I use break cleaner instead of degreaser?
