I own the 2022 Giant Trance 27.5 X3 .... basically your bike painted in good grey, glossy black, purple accents and I love it. Thank you very much for your advice on forks and shocks settings .

That was super helpful, thanks! Saved myself a trip to the bike shop and now I can do this myself :)

The best video, explaining the things!

I didn't know Steve Howey road mountain bikes 🤣 Solid video friend! you do want to bounce it a bit and loosen them up, then replace the rings while you stand in "ready position" with your full riding gear on.

Thank you for this. My first time having an air fork and was trying to figure out how much air to put in. You telling us about the factory sticker for the front shock helped out a ton!

[norcalchrismeister]

Thx for the vid bro. I now have a good idea of how to set up my shocks.

Thanks! You’re still helping people out with this vid!

Great video for a complete noob, thanks! P.s. the "lesser the air?" part was very comical...

Super helpfull. now i got it. now going to bike with my new Pump

Heard if you add Vaseline after putting air and then putting cap on, will help with the tire pressure stay for a lot longer as weather changes

Have you tried the specialized Airtool UHP? It does both Shock and wheel pump. Only thing i had to re do the air pressure on my rockshox recon siilver solo air it has a chart that says 80mm for fat riders aka my self 400lbs it says 175psi I miss read that turns out my fork is 100mm so I put 150 sweet spot between the 135 psi and 205 psi working great! I keep a mini shock pump to see if it has the same reading and it came out to the same reading 150! I was very lucky to get the UHP for 75$ cause of the money I had left in my Incycle account.

The amount of force needed on the pump to get up to 160psi on my shock was so much I thought that I was doing something wrong.

Great video i just buy an GIANT similar like yours GIANT ANTHEM ADVANCED and i dont know how much to put on the Shock is to soft when is UNLOCK the forks are to hard so we are same weight 210 lb so im going to copy and se how shes perform THANKS

hello, why is it when i put the pump back on the fork the pump does not register any pressure?

[mackendw]

question...there are 2 forks in front...there is only one side with the air nipple....does the for share the air across the pipe connecting both when you inflate?

[patxusko]

Hello mate, you might not anwser but you seem like an amazing guy, just found your channel and got disappointed cause you haven’t posted anything since this vid, hope everything is fine, I hope I see you making some vids in the future, you have a new sub even tho you don’t upload anymore💪🏽💪🏽

[aleks]

I know the question is stupid, but when you put air in the fork you only have to put air in the left side right? Or on both sides? Like does the fork put the air in both sides by itself or do you have to pump also the right top side of the fork?
