This for me is the best video, a very professional work, and I really learned a lot about the doubts I had, my congratulations, greetings from Tenerife, Canary Islands.
Thank you for the video! This is the most helpful video I have seen on how to service a fork. Tons of help since is my first time trying to do service on my rockshox fork. Subscribed
Thank you very much, you do awesome content, plenty of useful info. Would you kind to make the same video about RockShox SID 2018, there isn't much info about this fork in the web.
Any thoughts on petroleum based products on rubber and plastics. In auto motive and plumbing it's a no go. I suspect it has something to do with temperature and petroleum breaking down rubber, like o rings.
What year fork is this? Is the procedure the same for a 2017 Yari? Also is that the debonair spring? I noticed the circlip comes off easily on the air shaft side. But the lock ring clip on the lower of the damper side in not a circlip 🤔 seems like they could have used a circlip there too in order to make it easier? 🤷 Is it easy enough to remove without causing damage to the inside on the stanchion? Great video by the way! Most detailed one I've seen! 👍
The pre 2018 models revelation have 32 mm stanchions and are incompatible with the Pike's 35 mm innards. This definitely looked like a 2018 model as is mine. 35 mm stanchions and the 2018 Debon Air kit with black seal heads. BTW: mine has a circlip on both sides. I didn't buy it new so someone may have changed it. Removal is a lot less risky now ;-)
If you use the rockshox trailhead app then you can find the servicing manual for your forks and then find the right weight oils. All you need to do is input the number on the back of the fork upper and then go to documents and find the service manual. There scroll down to the part of the service you where you add the oil and it will tell you the weight and volume
Apply grease on seals, but on the inner air stanchion walls...do people really do this? Wouldn't the seals just push the grease towards the top? Thanks for the vid.
Yes, and keep lubricating by picking up a little each time the fork compresses, just don't over grease, there's a little hole that helps ( I think) with pressure in the negative chamber. It can block with grease.
I have a Rockshox 30 silver TK and I have an issue regarding this fork. The rebound knob is not making clicking sounds while trying to adjust the rebound damping, it just slides round and round smoothly and also it is harder to push the knob in its position. Can you tell me what is causing the problem? Do I need to replace the rebound damper with new one?
I'm doing this on my Revelation with Debonair. I understand the dust wipers and foam rings should really be replaced, but do you reuse the seal head piston and o-rings that don't seem worn?
I had a problem with mine, it would turn but not 'click' , turned out there's a little grub screw on the side of the knob, tightened it up and it fixed the problem. I was lucky my knob didn't fall off 😀

When I click on the link for RockShox service kit, it gave me two option. Is this the Dual Position Air or Solo Air. My shock look exactly like yours. Which service kit did you buy?
They are all solo air's. Dual Air is gone with the 2018+ models. Dual position is a Pike Feature and an entirely different beast from Dual Air ;-) There was a 2018 dual position Pike but I believe the 2019+ Pike's don't have that feature anymore. They are not listed in the new service manual. There are actually three Debon Air versions. His is the 2018 model (note the black seal head). The 2019 Debon Air has a flat red seal head and the 20/21 models have a red cup shaped seal head. The latter two are avalable as an upgrade named Debon Air Upgrade and Debon Air C1 Upgrade.

You can remove tokens without removing the lower leg (just remember to release the air before undoing the top), but it will not affect travel, only progression. You will need a new air shaft (cheap as chips) to change travel.
Why would you re-use O-rings? I'm not a pro bicycle mechanic, but I work on submarines professionally and automotive stuff at home and the rule is: if you disassemble something with O-rings, replace them. O-rings are cheap and rework sucks. Not throwing rocks, just friendly advise.
This is absolute great content for us without a fork service shop in the nearest 50 miles or so
RockShox doesn’t support their products in Russia at all, so 50 miles range isn’t a big deal.
This couldn’t have been more direct. Great video!
Beautiful video. Superbly shot and very instructive. Nothing here that isn't totally relevant. Take a bow sir.
This for me is the best video, a very professional work, and I really learned a lot about the doubts I had, my congratulations, greetings from Tenerife, Canary Islands.
Seriously amazing. Clear, smooth, straightforward. Thank you.

Thank you for making this video! My fork feels so much better after doing this full service 🤘👊
Thank you very much, you do awesome content, plenty of useful info. Would you kind to make the same video about RockShox SID 2018, there isn't much info about this fork in the web.
Great video, the quality of the video is very good and also the tutorial!

Mine had stiction issues but after doing that it smoothened again.
please, show me how to adjust rock shocx revelation travel, from 140 to 160
do a full aurspring service and put a different airspring in it
Can you explain how to measure the damper oil "height" as opposed to going off of volume?
Can I shorten the travel just by putting a spacer between the upper seal unit and the lower plate at the air side?
Did you also upgrade the damper of your revelation? Was it worth it?
What model year fork was that?
So can you just change the rod to shorten the travel on this model. I want to go to 140 at 150 now.
Well spring looks like Solo Air, but lower legs says Debon Air. Did you buy a new one? ;)
Mine are 3yr old and 100±hrs. I'm on it! 👍🏻
Great video. Can you send me a link for servicing Rockshock rear shock please
my revelation is a 130mm from a Trek Fuel EX7 2017, is it possible to turn it into a 140mm or 150mm?
Yes. With longer travel airspring
Master work
Very useful video thank you

This was a 2017 if I remember correctly. I will also make a Yari rebuild video in February.

I have a pair of revelations (FS-RVL-RC3-A2) - Will I have to use the oils listed in this video? 0-W30 and 5WT?

Do you make house calls?
how often do most people do the upper part?
Apply grease on seals, but on the inner air stanchion walls...do people really do this?
Wouldn't the seals just push the grease towards the top?
Thanks for the vid.
mr manny most people ask the same thing
Yeah most of the grease would go to the top but you do it regardless
It will grab little bits of grease every time the piston hits the piled up grease at the top, doesn’t take much
Yes, and keep lubricating by picking up a little each time the fork compresses, just don't over grease, there's a little hole that helps ( I think) with pressure in the negative chamber. It can block with grease.
Will you service also a Lefty ?
How about crush washers? I always replace them when I service lower legs.
Might want to add what oil weight you are putting in the uppers and lowers?
It's all there in the video :)

Did you try to look up that specific fork here on yt? Or did you resolve it?
I'm doing this on my Revelation with Debonair. I understand the dust wipers and foam rings should really be replaced, but do you reuse the seal head piston and o-rings that don't seem worn?
Should be fine as long as they didn't leak at all before the service, and granted nothing happens when they're taken out for a clean
...дякую за відео...зробив свою вилку )))
What are the possible reasons why rebound knob is not working?
I had a problem with mine, it would turn but not 'click' , turned out there's a little grub screw on the side of the knob, tightened it up and it fixed the problem.
I was lucky my knob didn't fall off 😀

Excellente vidéo 👍👍👍
Don't use degreaser ffs, use isopropyl alcohol.
Agreed. And please use a socket not an adjustable spanner
Is any 5WT suspension oil for motorcycle forks ok?
Loads of debate on this online, and it looks like the consensus is that any 5wt suspension oil is fine (motorbike oil included).
does this suspension lock completely or not?
No. It doesnt.

hi Mike.I don't know which model you are using
.You should take a look at page 11> "www.servicearchive.sram.com/sites/default/files/techdocs/gen0000000004710_rev_c_sektor_recon_xc32.pdf"
I think u can just need a longer air shaft
Hello! Thank you! 😊🌐🚴♀️!
ciao, il quantitativo di olio è lo stesso anche con travel differenti? grazie
si
@@Andrea-qg5yk ok, unaltra cosa, perchè come quantitativo della prima manutenzione, c'era 130 ml di olio? la giusta quantità e 155 ml?
grazie
@@Dany-ft3xc il quantitiavu giusto è 155 ml come specificato sul sito SRAM. È un po' strano che ci fossero solo 130ml ma il quantitiavu giusto è 155ml. Metti quello e sarai a posto
It's 35 mm legs? Can i install this compression unit in 2014 32mm RS Revelation with Motion Control poplock?
I don’t think you would be able to because the damping system slides against the insides of the stanchions and the 32 would be to small.
is it normal that my fork stopped making the noise in the last part?
my luck out stopped working after a month how to fix?
Wished there was a voiceover
great video thank you very clean!!
Why did you not show the moment of removal dust seals?
because he didn't need to replace them and taking them out damages them so if he did he would need to trow them away
agreed you are skipping key sections
Hey! Just wondering if 10wt oil is ok
I’m sure 10ml came out my spring side and 5 came out the other. But everywhere says 10ml each side. But this guys just poured a cup full in
@Oliver Stevens it says 10ml in each leg but only 5camw out the damper side lower part. Brand new 2020 yari
@Oliver Stevens cheers oliver
nice job dude..👍
Damn, nice beats
If i want to change the travel, can i just remove the token without removing the lower leg?
You can remove tokens without removing the lower leg (just remember to release the air before undoing the top), but it will not affect travel, only progression. You will need a new air shaft (cheap as chips) to change travel.
@@avlehtine so if i only remove the token, my travel would still the same?
@@wishnu2973 yes
You need a longer airspring. Tokens are for compression. If your bottoming out a fork use tokens

So change something if it's really perfect, man for a submarine maybe, but this is not the case.
I would re-use them if I can't find parts for my fork anymore. And hey, my 2010 Marzocchi from back in the day is still running, no complaints here.
