Haven’t tried this yet, because the trails are a swamp, with the rain here on the East coast of Australia. The thing is, I’m just about to pull it apart and do a 200 hr service and also do the 3.1 upgrade. I really like your logic though and will be trying this method for the setup. Thanks for the great info!

Thanks for this video! Finally I understood the „how“ and „why“ of these settings, something that many other expert channels failed to do so and left me behind clueless.

Wow, this video popped up somehow and its just in time! I threw the new zeb on my Levo yesterday and went out for a ride. I replaced the stock fox 36 rhythm fork and this zeb is night and day better. Damn thing is like floating across roots!!

I am going to head back out Saturday and set it up the way you did. Makes complete sense after watching your video. Thanks man! New sub here!!

I always run everything wide open and work from there. Never done the scientific route like you’ve done in the past but I’ve never had a really nice fork like this one so I’m excited to mess around with the settings and see how I can make it feel. Already feels awesome but maybe I’m not getting its full potential 😅

75ish kg here and found the zeb not super plush, I tried no tokens but found it nicer with less pressure and one token.

Hi : ) Can I used this settings on my Pike with a charger 3 ? I have struggle to find the sweet spot on it, thank you.

Hello, I have a Rockshox Zeb R 2021 that only has rebound adjustment. It seems like the internal bushings are so tight that when I compress the fork and release it slowly, it extends in jerks, and I feel it lacks sensitivity to small bumps. I thought it could be the hydraulic cartridge. I tried removing the hydraulic cartridge, and it still behaved the same way. Could it be the bushings, the air spring, or the urgent need to use Maxima Oils Dynamic Light oil and Rockshox Dynamic Seals grease?
I used Slickoleum grease and Maxima Oils W15-50 oil in the air chamber. And the same grease and Fuchs Silkolene 10wt oil (which, according to the technical data sheet, is very similar to what the manual recommends) in the lowers. I weigh 72kg, and according to Trailhead, I should use it with 54psi. Greetings, and I hope for your recommendations.

I just upgraded my pike with the charger three damper I only seem to have four total clicks on the high-speed compression meaning two one-way to the other

New Zeb or 38 for racing? I love how simple it was to setup my zeb select plus. But I have money to try a 38

[ziggy_rampage]

cheers for the video mate, but I'm confused about the bleeding part? did you put more air in after you bled the chamber?? cheers

If you want your fork to feel softer you turn the dial counter clockwise? I think your diagram at the end is wrong

I removed my tokens as well. I then added a Trutune carbon cartridge. Super plush.

4:01 umm interesting background there.

My ebike is 32kg
And me being 92 kg
No tokens was blowing too much throu the travel and had too much mid stroke support
Added a token and its dealing a bit better
I still need to adjust ass the bike only 2weeks old
Rear shock is a super dulixe ultimate
With 1 token
I trued it with 2 but then it was too stiff
My frame has a very progressive back end so I may end

[KotakMeister]

Would this be the same process with the Pike?

Hello. My zeb show 160mm of travel when the spring is 170mm. No tokens 71 psi. Why ?

[sammyfo]

So dont run volume spacers in the zebra
