How Does It Work? | Suspension Fork Break Down

Показать описание

Suspension set up and maintenance can seem like a dark art to some, luckily Doddy has had a bit of practice and knows his way around a pair of forks. In this video he breaks down the components of a common MTB fork. Explaining how each part works, the functions it has, and how it interacts with the other components.

Wish there was more videos like this to help us be a better home mechanic. Thank you Doddy!

For me the hardest thing about bike maintenance or buying new parts is knowing sizes, types, etc etc.. Like bearings, seals, rings, etc. Good video Doddy

First time ANYONE explained that volume spacers replaced oil. The mountain biking community has forgotten this major fact. Keep it going Doddy.

This kind of videos are worth their length in gold! Looking forward when you change the travel, I'm about to do that on my Pike!

Another great one, Doddy. I love watching your videos! A handful of weeks ago I emailed you to ask about boosting the travel in my RS Pike 130mm up to 140mm, and I’m really glad to hear that you’re putting together a video for this!

I’ll be first in line to watch it - cheers!

Love the format. Nailed it. Now that’s what I think of when I think “GMBN Tech!”

Super cool and interesting! You also explained really well how each part works. Gives much better idea how the fork works when riding and what each adjustment does.

Similar video for rear shocks would be nice too.

Doddy, great vid as usual. You’re a fantastic explainer.
One note though, CSU = Crown Steerer Unit
