Wow, loads of negative comments, I have the standard and XL for my 36 Factory fork and they are the best mudguards I've ever seen and used. No dodgy cable tie attachment which scratches your fork and rattles about, no wobble and rattle like the ones that only screw to the lower leg brace. These attach so well you can knock on them with your knuckles and the are as solid as your bike frame, if you have a compatible fork just get them, nothing on the market comes close. Oh and despite the video you can fit them in a couple of minutes.
Does the standard fit on the Fox 38? I don’t like the way the front half looks and from what I understand the standard is the the 36 and the XL is for the 38. Is that true? If so, I’m wondering if I bought the XL and then just cut the front of it. I wonder if that would work.
Both standard and XL are for the 36 and 38, so just fit the standard to your 38@@TheCureThatKillz
Video was helpful. Took me longer to get the bike on the stand than install it. Also the spacers came off without needing a pick. Very simple.
Damn, so many negative comments. Its a good mudguard, I get some people can't be arsed or don't have the mechanical knowledge to install it, but it's a really well designed and sturdy mudguard. Anyone that's had a ziptie mudguard knows how shit they are. And anyone thats ridden in muddy conditions without a mudguard knows how shit it is too.
do you work for Fox? Calm down it's only a mudguard.
A great mudguard that’s easy to install with a minimalistic design. I love the Fox XL mudguard!
😂😂😂
I followed the instructions with the amount of pressure that is shown to be applied and I ended up snapping the air valve. Thanks a lot, Fox.
Same here
@@JoshSaltmarsh less torque then specified
I applied more than 5nm and was fine. 🤷
Do a 2021 X2 full comprehensive video!!
Fork is $1200, Mudguard is $25 I'd say that's a pretty good investment for an expensive part-- take it to your local LBS if you can't do it yourself for some odd reason, but don't discourage others from taking care of there expensive fork by downvoting and being negative
I read that the max tire width for 29 is 2.5" with the guard installed. Is this true for both the regular and XL guards? My tires are 3" wide.
I REALLY wish you guys would make the standard half size for the Fox 38. I don’t like the front part of the guard that sits in front of the fork. I just want the back section but you don’t make them for the 38. Why?? Could I buy the bigger guard and then just cut the front half off? Would that still work?
This guard came on my bike I got second hand. I removed it to mount my carbon one but obviously realised it no longer has the spacers :(
Hey do a video on how to get Fox sponsorship
Cool🤘
I want the same but for old FOX 36 2019 or 2020.
Whats the inner and outer Diameter of the spacer and the thickness? I want to remove the fox mudguard and can't find my spacers
Nice but enough to put you off if not as confident as you once were! I'm just getting back into my bikes it's all I done before but lost all confidence now and with a new 7k embt even scarier just now anyway haha
But damb I hate velcro or cable ties destroying my paint finishes! Don't mind scuffs from falling but cable ties nope lol
Edit bought one now
Do they have one that fits the 34?
What about the fox 36 Rhythm with no air bleed ports?
I have a 36 performance with no bleed ports I'd like a mud guard that works without them
When removing the pressure relief screw I heard a small amount of air escaping, so I'm assuming it will need a shock pump adding to the tools required?
This is exactly what I was thinking. If you’re releasing air from the pressure release then surely you’re gonna need to re pump it up. Not a great instructional
The small amount of air you heard escap9ng is unrelated to the shock air spring pressure held inside the left stanchion. If you had followed the instructions properly, you would have equalized the air pressure between the inside of the outers and atmosphere when you pressed the pressure relief valve and not heard any air escaping when you unscrewed the valve. That said, you should probably invest in a shock pump so you can properly setup and maintain your suspension.
hello, is it normal that my fox 38 only has 7 clicks in high speed compression? I have opened the cartridge to see if there was something wrongly mounted but the regulator does not give for more clicks, only 7 come out, in the manual I see that it says that it has 8
7 clicks = 8 positions
And live valve forks 36mm??
Do you have a mudguard for a 2022 FOX 34 PERFORMANCE ? I really want to stay away from using tie wraps. I mounted a Syncros mudguard but the fit is terrible. It really doesnt hug the front tire.
It sticks straight out...
I tried the mudguard from Rapid Racer Products both on Fox 36 (maybe 2020) and 32 (2017) (bolt on version). It keeps your vision clear, but it won't save your clothing from being dirty.
Does this one also fit on FOX 34 suspension fork ? Could not find a FOX 34 Mudguard
No.
After installing the XL mudguard i have seen some oil leakage in my fox 36 performance. i think it is the internal fork oil used for lubrification. What should i do?
Did you remove the washer as pictured? The mudguard acts as the washer.
@@ABHORRANCE831i did the exact mistake of not removing the washer.. guess i was too exicited to mount it right away :)
Terrible mounting point on the bleeder on the fork. I cut those tabs off and just used the top two mounting points and boom!
that'ss nice and all BUT... I have a Fox 36 Rhythm and it doesn-t have a pressure release button... how do I install this mudguard without it? ziptie???
I'm in the same boat. They specifically say ALL 2021 year and above 36 and 38 yet i'm thinking it doesn't work with the Rhythm...
Buy the syncros mudguard instead. Works great on my older 2018 fox fork.
"Will fit on all Fox 36/38 forks" - why are you saying this when they specifically don't fit the rhythm forks?
Dont you need to pump the shock back up after deflating?
Will the standard guard fit a 2023 Fox 38?
Yes!
I have no doubt that I will be able to install it, but just some feedback: I think the mudguard looks great and will function great. But a mudguard that interacts with some primary functions during installation. (seals, air pressure and perhaps even oil) seems flawed from an engineering point of view. I would most likely add (in the cad design) 2 holes below or just on top of the pressure release buttons solely for the mudguard. This means a split in function, but I feel it is justified. *Disclaimer: I'm not an engineer. (I imagineer for the most part lol. :))
It's even easier than a cable tie mudguard to install. No need for removing wheel, no need for bike stand and no need for a pick. It took me literally 2 minutes to install.
This guard does not affect the normal operation of the fork in any way. The pressure relief valves on the rear outers are unrelated to the air spring pressure sealed inside the left stanchion.
how about a mudguard for fox 36 2020?
Did you find one ? My 36 fork doesn't have the mounting points on each fork
@@mountbaldy2008 I didn't ! damn... But I'm about to order the same as on video and quickzip it somehow xD
Does the spacer go back on?
No - but I would keep them around in case you ever need to remove the mud guard. The mud guard acts as the 'spacer' when in place.
😃👍
so there will be no more cover on the bleeder? is it ok?
You’re supposed to remove the covers that come on the fork. They were designed to work with no covers.
Can't get the darn spacers off ugh
WARNING. Fox provides torque spec in in lbs. 5nm = 3.8ft lb
wish i could afford a bike like this ..
My friend put this bike together for his son and before I knew it he was done th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L When the son came to put it together he was surprised to see it was already done. All he had to do was take the bike to get air and be on his way. My friend did not have any major problems putting this bike together; small issue was putting one of the brakes on straight; however when the son got home he was able to fix it. The bike rides well gears move correctly; good bike for the price. Wrote review after the son took the bike. Sorry.
This seems more complicated than it needs to be
I'd guess your local bike shop would take the two minutes needed to install it for free if you buy it through them.
Wow,I don't use a mudguard 🤣
that's why you need to change your Fox oil every 2 months? ;)
@@jaworq Actually no
@@theequanimityst because you use bike once a month? ;D
Your Mom didn't use a mudguard either, OP...
Fox used to be a good company but now they are just like all the rest
Pretty stupid design
How
@@gubourn If you watched the video and still can't understand why this is a bad design...
@@ickebins6948 i see how it’s not perfect but it works fine
@@gubourn Well cableties work perfect aswell and dont ruin your $1k fork if you're not careful.
This kind of engineering shouldnt be seen on products like these.
Omg so you have to buy $500 of tools to fit a plastic mudguard lol
Naaaa.ive just fitted a fox mudgaurd to 2021 fox tactory 38,s...13mm spanner or socket..dont over tighten,remember to remove the spacers(not the o rings!!) thats all you need to do..its a good mudgaurd and sits solid..you dont need a torque wrench to fit a mudgaurd if youve worked plenty on bikes you know whats steel and aluminium feels like to pressure a bolt..and if your new to bikes completely and your in doubt,just call at your LBS so that they can check, i think its good value, and FOX at the end of the day HAVE to show factory standard procedure to fit everything in an oficial video..,as there R&D team specify it...but those two bolts do not need a 300 euro investment to tighten ,some parts under stress do need a specific pressure or theyll work loose,thats engineering,but id say 90% you can do by feel🤘
@@livingonthemoonhelps9407 it's OK bro I was being sarcastic with my comment lol just having a dig lol
This has to be the worst mud guard I’ve ever installed! Don’t worry fox I modified it to fit my 36 (purchased a 36 compatible Fox brand one)
Screws don’t line up! Had to drill out and bend the plastic to make it work. Your tester must’ve had to go a ride or something. Last fox product I buy! Thanks for nothing
Mine fit perfect. 2 minute install.
All this just to install a mudguard what a joke. The mountain biking industry has so many opportunities to grow into the mainstream but always makes things way more complicated or expensive than necessary.
How in anyway is that difficult?
Still easier than the zeb bolt on fender. The little space you have to work with is ridiculous on that thing
So true
If you find this difficult, life is going to be very hard for you.
The top two holes is all you need to secure this. I cut the tabs off for the bleeder valve and boom, this works perfect on my Santa Cruz Megatower with a Fox 38.
It makes zero sense to use the bleeder mounting points as once this fender cracks or breaks you are fooked.
Man, out of all the ways to attach this, This is pretty ridiculous. Low brow mechanical designers.
