Since I don't live near you. Could we send you our fork? I want to upgrade my Revelation RC with 2.1 RC2 damper. Do these dampers come pre-bled? Or do we bleed them? I was going to purchase the 2.1 and see if I can install myself (think i can) but doubt I can fill the cartridge.
does zeb ultimate differ with anything other from zeb select? i think of upgrading to charger 3.1 but don't know if anything other than the dampers needs to be changed
So Ultimate and Select are diffferent in the damper, buttercups, and bushings. You can essentially upgrade your select fork to the Ultimate by getting the new damper assembly (which will come with buttercups installed), and adding buttercups to your airshaft.
Charger 3 and 3.1 is only compatible with the D1 and D2 generation of Lyrik chassis. If you are not sure which generation lyrik you have you can headover to the RockShox Trailhead app or website and input your seriel number and it will tell you which generation fork you have
@@FanatikBikeCo yea mines a 2020 model so it’s a C2 chassis. The fork works good anyhow though i have confidence the new forks have now significantly improved.
Why did you sell your fork? What do you want different to the Zeb with the new fork? There is a video from Pinkbike that compares the new Zeb with the new 38 and I think those characteristics of the bigger forks should translate to the smaller forks, maybe not though, one obvious difference is that the Lyrik is gonne be less precise compared to the 36 since it flexes a bit more and you might not be able to get your rebound and compression exactly right since one click does more difference in rockshox forks compared to Fox, Rockshox is cheaper though and with the shim stack kits you could theoretically get your damping exactly right, even with Rockshox
Just depends on what you are looking for in a fork. Not going to go wrong with either the Charger 3.1 Lyrik or the GripX 36. If you like a more supple feel the Lyrik is probably the move, and if you want more support the 36 is probably the right move!
Its actually been two years since they last updated their suspension offerings. Time certainly is flying because that two years seems to have gone by quick!
If you don't care about the independent adjustment, it seems there was no noticeable on-trail performance upgrade to charger 2.1. They just changed the working principle to IFP. But it's nice that the manual suggests the shimstack for lighter or heavier riders again. They already had this in the charger 1 days.
The best part of this video is Nick. Nick we miss you in Reno buddy. Sick fork
You can't have him back...we like him too much here in Bellingham
@@FanatikBikeCo what a great guy and such an incredible mechanic. 💪💯🔥
Up coming year's , might be butter spread 4.0
Edited: Rockshox ZEB gold edition.
Butter cups ultimate and gold lowers that is the future
Or Rockshox Judy Yellow.
Definitely upgrading.
11:38 where can i get that adjustable tool to put on wrench

Is a review of the Forbidden Dreadnought coming to the channel? Haven't been seeing much about that bike online
Tool question. Where do I find the crescent wrench for the torque wrench at 12:31 in the video? Thanks.
I believe that is called a "crow's foot"
@@laurentp89 you are correct but I have never seen an adjustable one.

Is it possible to put a charger 3 in an older model Lyrik?

You have the 2.1 RC2?
@@mikeburgh3956 correct.
@@JJaguar333 you don't like it? Or you just wanted to see if you could put the 3 in. I heard the 3 isn't good. That's why 3.1 was released
I have a base pike 2023 . Want to upgrade do i need both items you have or just the damper assembly
Damper assembly will do the trick!
@@FanatikBikeCo cool thank you also, Buttercup in it so do I need to replace the one on the other side I don't think it has it in there
This in a Lyrik or new Fox Grip X? I just sold my ZEB last week. My bike is hanging on the stand waiting for a new fork

I get rid of my Zeb after trying out the new DVO 38, I'll never look back.

RS bringing out upgrades every 6 months. Just make it right the first time FFS🤦♂️🙄💲💵💶💷💳💰🫰🤌

@@FanatikBikeCo haha yeah I thought was slightly exaggerating. 😅. But damn, 2 years? Time does fly! 🤯
Yep, just with every manufacturer, it's all about the money and telling people they need something when they don't, lol.
