Banger...love a more detailed edu-edit on how shim stacks work...

[steveedwards]

Would have been nice to see a conversation about what changes were made to the shim stack and how much, of what affect it might have.

and I'm here feeling like a wizard after making a few clicks on my rebound :D
cool vid

Great video. Good to see the insides. Easy to understand the cost of servicing. Also the cost of the shock itself. Such expertise from the country’s best suspension agent.

Alright this is great content I love this stuff. My dream is to have a setup in my workshop that is equipped to rebuild dampers and eventually get into revalving like this. For the time being I'm going to get some training from the suspension centre.

I couldn't find a bike shop in my country that would do a lower leg service on SR Suntours more premium forks, the list of bike shops on their website was a total grave yard. The first 10 on the list had gone out of business at which point I stopped bothering. None of my local bike shops would touch them either because they only did Fox or Rockshox forks (including the shop that sold me the bike), and they didn't know anyone that would work on them. So I didn't really have much choice other than to do it myself or buy new forks.
It took me a few goes to get it right the first time, but no damage done. There was large quantities of oil in the lower legs, which came as a big surprise considering that SR Suntour forks don't use oil baths and the forks had never been serviced since new. So I didn't know whether to put oil or grease back in to them. SR Suntour customer support helped me out though, they think that the grease must have separated, and told me to fully disassemble the forks and put new grease in. The forks have been fine ever since.

Mind blown on shim stacking. Don't think I'm giving that a go. Great video

Excellent content and very informative. I think the “custom tune” is often misunderstood and underrated. Subscribed.

[hobmarg]

Awesome video, loved the detail on the EXT Storia rebuild, those guys are wizards at Mojo.

[paulsack]

Just serviced the suspension on my bike, great video to watch afterwards :)

[archetypex]

EXT...very impressive heritage. F1, with Lotus. Invented High/Low speed circuits... #wow #extshox 👍👍👍

[nickwatkins]

Awesome video guys you’ve just convinced me to leave this one for my bike mechanic 🧐

[projects]

[mattcucci]

You should do more content like this, the tech part was very interesting.

[ryansara]

I'm 15 and I can do a lower leg service on my forks, and adjusting the travel.
