    Anyone else looking at this because their shiny new 1000€ Fox 38 needs a service to remove the ton of grease in the negative chamber they put at the factory making for a poor performance fork?

    Thanks for the well-done video Jules!
    Q: What is recommended for the foam wipe rings on damper side? Is the PTFE teflon infused 5wt recommended, or the 20wt gold just like on the air side? If 20wt gold is recommended, wouldn't that contaminate the lowers that contains the PTFE teflon infused 5wt?

    • @patrickguerreiro9760
      @patrickguerreiro9760 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm wondering the same thing. I'm about to service my 34s with the GRIP damper, which calls for 5 wt PTFE infused oil for the damper lower. However, I'm unsure of what oil to soak the damper side foam ring in: 20wt gold or 5wt ptfe? Any clarification would be appreciated!
      Thanks for the great videos!

      Austin Lavallee on second thoughts to this, I recently done a full fork service on a set of 2014 rockshox recons. I ordered a small syringe for the lowers bath oil “6ml each” but I needed about 130m for the damper. I found a unused stans no stubes syringe (60ml) and made sure it was extra clean. Worked a treat, thick material & seals. Didn’t give it much thought till now

    • @seitenryu6844
      @seitenryu6844 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Grip is dead easy to service. Buy the shaft clamps and you're pretty much set. Take off the top, dump out old, flush a bit, then fill again. They say it doesn't ingest oil... that's only a half truth. The seal can scrape off R3 pretty well, but can't manage with Fox Gold or other bath oils. Hence why they don't use Gold both sides.

    • @EpicEvolution
      @EpicEvolution 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      30 hours with average 20 km/h is 600km. If you don't ride in wet dirt and dusty conditions, you can increase service interval to 1000km. And then look at fork condition to increase or decrease next interval

      As long as your not pulling the air spring out you don’t technically have too but if there’s air on the air spring it make putting the lowers back on more challenging.

    • @tajhendry9798
      @tajhendry9798 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      No need to remove the air unless your pulling the air shaft or removing the top cap. With experience it becomes easy to pop the lower on the the shaft in place. 🤘

    • @BenNemec
      @BenNemec 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you do let the air out, make sure you put enough back in to fully extend the air spring before you put the lowers back on. Otherwise the lowers will end up with a vacuum and turn into a giant negative spring (not as cool as it sounds, trust me).

      Teflon Infused is 5wt and FOX Gold is 20wt.

    • @krzysiu4003
      @krzysiu4003 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The 20wt gold is just for lubricating the bushings so I don't see no reason why a lighter oil couldn't be used. Would have thought a heavier oil is more likely to stay around the bushings and do a better job though.

      It’s not as well suited as a lubricant. So technically you couldn’t. It’s just not smart

      There is not. You could do it just fine. Would be a mistake though, since it's a poor bath lubricant.

    • @TPV07
      @TPV07 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      542eastWA good shout out. Andres make sure to measure the foam ring height. Different forks have different foam ring heights. I fitted a push seal kit which is awesome on a 2year old pike a few weeks ago and the ring in the kit is only 5mm it needs a 10mm ring. It will probably work but not filling the gap totally is not ideal and you can push the foam ring easily in the lowers that way too. So measure it and be careful when installing it.

      @krushiXX 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep FOX does not sell the rings separately, I was asking my local FOX service center about those. I'd better replace them rather to wash in isopropyl as they swell up a bit. They seem to return to the original shape after drying out, though.

    Why is it so difficult to find out what size foam rings fit which model forks?
    It seems you’ve got to disassemble the lowers to find out what size the foam rings are. It would be better to have the new ones ready in advance before having to take the lowers off.
    Lower leg services are very easy, but finding the correct parts and oil requirements for the fork beforehand is a time consuming effort. It would be nice to have oil weights and capacities printed on the same sticker as the suggested air spring pressures for rider weight. Along with the size of foam rings for that specific model. Especially considering how ridiculously regularly we’re recommended to service them.
    I guess it’s made harder to encourage people to pay for the extortionate fork servicing costs, instead of having to go to the hassle of doing all of the research first.

    • @jordicortes4993
      @jordicortes4993 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      This doesn’t make sense to me sorry. If you have a 34 you use 34 foams and so on.
      We have a complete breakdown on our website as well.
      Did you actually look?

    • @michaelb9664
      @michaelb9664 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      jordi cortes nowhere on the Fox website can I see foam rings available on their own.
      There are seal kits, but it’s not necessary to replace all of the seals as part of a lower leg service. I can’t find any breakdown of parts that shows which foam rings are for which fork. Do you work for Fox?

    Why is she putting in the specified amount of oil Fox recommends? Of the 10 Fox forks I've ever opened, none have had a total of more than 5ml of oil come out. An oil pan is complete unnecessary. I'm expecting 30ml+ to come out but never more than 5ml comes out. The foam is always near-bone-dry and the wipers have no grease of anykind. Why is that? For you DIY guys at home, you know what I mean. I'm talking about brand-new forks or forks rebuilt by Fox. Also, you'll never find a 5ml pillow-pack in a shock can either.

      LBS mentioned that forks never seem to come from factory with the right amount of fluid (which seems off), but you seem to prove them correct. Maybe I won't wait to service my new suspension.

      Not funny I didn't laugh. Your joke is so bad I would have preferred the joke went over my head and you gave up re-telling me the joke. To be honest this is a horrid attempt at trying to get a laugh out of me. Not a chuckle, not a hehe, not even a subtle burst of air out of my esophagus. Science says before you laugh your brain preps your face muscles but I didn't even feel the slightest twitch. 0/10 this joke is so bad I cannot believe anyone legally allowed you to be creative at all. The amount of brain power you must have put into that joke has the potential to power every house on Earth. Get a personality and learn how to make jokes, read a book. I'm not saying this to be funny I genuinely mean it on how this is just bottom barrel embarrassment at comedy. You've single handedly killed humor and every comedic act on the planet. I'm so disappointed that society has failed as a whole in being able to teach you how to be funny. Honestly if I put in all my power and time to try and make your joke funny it would require Einstein himself to build a device to strap me into so I can be connected to the energy of a billion stars to do it, and even then all that joke would get from people is a subtle scuff. You're lucky I still have the slightest of empathy for you after telling that joke otherwise I would have committed every war crime in the book just to prevent you from attempting any humor ever again. We should put that joke in text books so future generations can be wary of becoming such an absolute comedic failure. Im disappointed, hurt, and outright offended that my precious time has been wasted in my brain understanding that joke. In the time that took I was planning on helping kids who have been orphaned, but because of that you've waisted my time explaining the obscene integrity of your terrible attempt at comedy. Now those kids are suffering without meals and there's nobody to blame but you. I hope you're happy with what you have done and I truly hope you can move on and learn from this piss poor attempt
