Swapping out damper oil fixed it, not the Airpsring mod

Hi I found this video very interesting as I have a yari fork which came with b1 air spring but the only problem was that it lost a bit of its travel just from the weight of the bike due to the size of the negative air spring but it was super plush and mid stroke support was great. But when the c1 airspring came out I tried that but boy was that harsh!! Due to the smaller negative so I went back to c1 and just put a longer airspring in to make up for the dead spot. I will try again in the future with the c1 and just slightly increase negative with a portion of extra bumper rubber. Love your videos too

Don't really know about charger 3 but Rockshox spare parts catalogue 2023 has RC2.1 damper as an official upgrade for Domain, U3 00.4318.048.000. Based on that I upgraded my domain last summer. Works stellar

Update: I bought it and so far love it. But I do plan on switching out the air spring to convert it from 160mm to 170 or 180mm travel. I'm actually thinking of purchasing this fork as an upgrade from my Rockshox Recon RL. I don't really do any extreme stuff, just some normal trail riding but considering this fork is on sale on alot of sites for around $250 it's really hard to pass on that. The only thing that has me worried is overforking my frame. I have a Poseidon Norton frame arriving next week and I have to contact them and see what the max travel is for a fork for that frame. Also i should mention I'm looking at the 160mm travel version of this fork because for some reason the 160mm is about $100 less then the 150mm version.

Charger 3 damper definitely works, I installed on in my domain and it's 100% better, no air shaft upgrade though.

Try porting the compression part of the damper like porting an intake manifold for a car.

I bought this fork and while on jumps and normal riding i think it is really good, but we had some serious rain washout on my local flow trail, and its like a washboard. This fork feels freaking horrible on the small chatter and there is a LOT on this flow trail. otherwise it feels great but it does not handle rain ruts well. I even did what you did, i have to run about 82ish PSI and 3 clicks from closed. I have tried from open too but from closed feels much better. Overall I have thought about upgrading the 2.1 RC2 but wasn't sure it would be worth it.

Great video, my friend has a Domain and I am going to pass this along to him, . I would really like you to do the same kinda video for the Manitou Mezza. It has 37mm fork tubes and the 27.5 models are pretty dam cheap now.

The air spring and damper looks very similar to the one that was in my 35 gold RL, just bigger, I didn't keep that fork it's just a spare 😂

Burp the seals. It will help with the harshness. That's what I did with mine.

I got this fork (29" Domain R) with a brand new 160mm ebike and 2 weeks later and mostly XC trails there's play in the right stanchion which feels like headset, but it isn't. Any advice what could cause the play and if it's worth trying to fix it, since it's pretty basic anyway. I don't like throwing away new stuff, but it's the first RockShox fork that I've had in the last 15y that has a play after 100km of riding, so I can't say I like it

Anyone knows if i can swap the casting from a Zeb? And when yes do i have to swap the airshaft?

[markreyes]

you still keep the additional bump stop? how its ride?

[racingkiteami]

Does this mod affect how negative and positive chamber equalizes pressures Via dimple in fork tubes? 🤔

[herse]

Any chance you could show how to setup a Rockshox ultimate coil?

[ikerkikoton]

I just upgraded to the charger 3 and i would like to upgrade to the debonair + but i think it doesnt fit, is there any upgrade for the left side

Hello, I bought this fork in 2023 and noticed that it does not extend to full travel when I compress it, the fork was serviced, but still after compression it loses 3 mm of travel, is this normal for this fork?

[kyleslater]

Hmm. Well I don’t have any complaints about mine. But it’s on a emtb and I’m fat so it might just perfect for my use.

[jonnykano]

I have the same fork but feel like i blow through the travel too quick wven wheb running 4 bottomless tokens. Fork feels harsh as well. So don't thibk lowering pressure will help as it will blow through quicker. Tried adding compression but that makes it harsher. Any ideas?

[justin]

Anyone knows if the charger 3.1 works?
