Suspension fork settings - What they mean

This is an incomplete overview of air suspension forks, and what the settings mean on the vast majority of them. This video does not provide detailed instructions on how to set up your fork, but it does give you an idea of what to Google when you're digging in.

Click on your fork and then go to the "service" tab. It's usually printed on the fork though.

When in doubt, Google it!

Seth, as a father who's kids are switching from BMX to MTB as their primary rides, I want to pass on my thanks. A Dad is meant to be the tech guru for their kids, they come to you for the things in life that thy do not understand. Now I have MTB air suspension covered, so thank you much. Very very helpful and informative video. Easy to see why "a bike guy on youtube" has almost 700k subscribers.

@1:55 did you create the graphic for the progressive travel explanation? (Nicely done)

[jacksongilbert]

Every time I start to have a problem with my bike. Seth instantly makes a video... I love this guy.

Thanks dude! This has got to be the simplest and easiest to understand explanation about suspension setup. I've always just relied on the bike shop to dial everything in for me, and then I just record everything they've done so that I can maintain those settings. Now I feel like I can start playing with those settings without fear of screwing everything up.

I have a coil fork and the only thing I can control on it is the preload!

The tokens would be a good thing to be 3D printed

[gswitzer]

I love both your and Clint's channels! You should absolutely do more collaborations together! Two guys making MTB easier to understand and more enjoyable! Or maybe even combine efforts and create a super mega awesome channel!! :)

some guy came in to the bike shop I work at last year. Told me how he kept getting Peddle strikes while climbing. After discussing I found that as he didn't have a lockout he would just turn his rebound all the way open so his fork and rear shock would just sit at the bottum of their travel all the way up. I tried not to laugh so hard. he could benifit from this video for sure.

For some reason I watch all of your videos even tho Iv never been mountain biking, the last bike I owned was when I was 8. I’m almost 18 now.

I've got a Marzocchi Bomber DJ3 on my Dirt Jump Bike and it's got air chambers on both sides. That's the only adjustable part of it, and despite it probably being a little soft for riding the pump track (energy absorption) I run it with no air pressure. The springs alone provide what feels like just the right amount of damping to me.
