    Howzit all, I have been looking for a cheapish fork for my enduro bike build and I have found the domain. It looks really solid and can always be upgraded to a charger damper; which essentially makes it a heavier zeb. Just wondering if anyone here has used it, and what their thoughts are? Cheers

    I am looking for a 120mm Rockshox Sid select/select+/Ultimate fork (35mm stanchions) and manual lock out. Any ideas or leads where I might get one? Open to 2nd hand as well.

    The last update to RockShox’s Pike, Revelation, Lyrik, and Yari forks was just a change to the C1 air spring with a new foot nut and seal head. I believe this was done as a response to complaints from users that their forks were sagging into the travel and so had less travel than advertised. A 160 mm fork might have been sitting at about 155 mm at rest, for example. RockShox has touted the revision as providing a higher ride height and no wasted travel or dead space. However, suspension specialists (such as Chris Porter and Vorsprung) have pointed out that the C1 seal head creates a smaller negative air chamber, resulting in a less supple start to the travel and less small-bump sensitivity. Their recommendation seems to be to stick to the B1/B2 seal head and enjoy the better grip and sensitivity at the top of the stroke, and stop obsessing over the travel markings on the stanchions. Based on my understanding of how the system works, it’s the longer foot nut of the C1 version that extends the fork out so it has more travel and is riding higher. It is equivalent to fitting a slightly longer air shaft. I can only hypothesise that the seal head was revised in order to reduce the negative air volume so that the fork cannot be extended deep into the negative travel to the extent that insufficient stanchion and bushing overlap become an issue. Is anyone able to confirm this, or correct me, please? If I am right, does that mean that one could use the longer C1 foot nut to get the higher ride height, but combine it with the B1/B2 seal head for the large negative chamber, provided that the fork is not already at the maximum travel for that model? So with a 160 mm air shaft in a Lyrik and a 140 mm air shaft in a Pike this should be fine, and would give the advertised travel but also the superior performance of the larger negative air chamber? Any clarifications, corrections, or references to further reading or explanations are appreciated!

    I need to replace my Reverb hydraulic hose because I'm putting the dropper on a new bike and I think I cut the current hose too short to fit on the new bike. Is an original Reverb hose my only option? Or can I use a similar hydraulic hose such as another brand of brake hose that's compatible with mineral oil? I've also heard that Cape Cycles don't stock Reverb spares, is this true? Appreciate the feedback.

    I would like to service my Rockshox recon. I collected all the spares and the oils, but, I've just realised that I don't have any Sram butter that all youtube videos use. Is there an alternative grease I can use? Thanks in anticipation

    RockShox today announced two all-new SID SL and SID cross-country forks and a race-focused SIDLuxe shock. There is a somewhat revived model naming convention to differentiate the two new chassis. The SID SL model features a lightweight chassis with 100mm travel and 32mm upper tube measurements and a claimed weight of 1326g. The SID model promises to be more capable on the trails with longer 120mm travel and stiffer 35mm upper tubes. The bigger chassis does weigh a couple hundred grams more at 1537g. Discover all the technical details about the new SIDs and SIDLuxe shock in the press release below. Click here to view the article

    Hello hubbers Wonder if anyone has any idea on how to fix my not so big problem... I have a Rockshox Sid SE (2019) with a motion control damper that has a push-to-unlock remote on it. I ride mostly in the unlocked position but when I do decide to lock out the fork and shock, the fork cable doesn't want to release and gets 'sticky'. I give a little tug on the cable at the damper side and it releases but I can feel that there's quite a bit of friction which is obviously why it doesn't spring back. I took the cable out yesterday and removed the top cap and put a little bit of grease on the cap to try alleviate some friction but it didn't help much. Tried to search the web but can't seem to find any help there obviously because it's a new fork and I think it only comes out on the Trek Top Fuel 2019 models (could be wrong). I've attached a picture of the top cap and can load some more this evening. Any help/advice would be gladly appreciated

    Hope someone can assist. I have a RockShox Reba RL fork that needs servicing. Who would be the best to send it to (preferably in the Gauteng South area).

    Hey guys, So I just started pulling apart my 2013 Rockshox Reba off a second hand bike I bought recently. I figured it'd be safe to service it, since I don't know when last/if it was serviced. I opened it up to find whats in the pictures. So.. I know its not as bad as it could be.. but how bad is it? I presume there's nothing I can really do about it aside from ride it until it dies. How worried should I be though? Also, does that bushing look normal? I've never opened a fork so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was a bit surprised by the green dots. Is this how Rockshox bushings look or are they perhaps after market? Cheers

    So when everybody except the DH'ers were running Fox float RP23 rear shox and no one except the fat okes had issues with compression tunes, volume and shock pressure life was great. Bikes mostly had 90-120 mm rear suspension and perhaps the need was not quite there for such intricate tuning throughout the spring curve, or axel path or whatever you call it.. So time is 2018 and I'm possibly slower to adapt than the masses because I use to "just ride the damn thing". However a progression of trails in recent years and the introduction of Enduro has caused other okes to ride a little faster and I cant quite get the DH KOM's on my 4 inch XC bike anymore (Thats a joke) I have since tried out a Silverback Sprada(110mm/120mm and now bought a new frame which came without a rear shock and kind of lead to this thread. I hastily brought a Fox Float RP2 performance with the correct eye to eye at a song here on the hub however the Compression tune (Firm) might be to much. I've since ridden the new frame with the shock and I almost want to say the untrained ass wont notice it, but I can feel the suspension is not as plush as it should be. Im guessing its the firm tune in the compression. Guess based on my last bike which has a similar four bar/ Horst link suspension and although had a slightly higher leverage ratio it had a Medium tune(Felt really good) Therefore I should be going to a lighter tune, not higher. So again I jumped on the classifieds and hooked up a Nice Fox Float DPS EVOL that was off a Bronson. The tune on this shock was Compression L Rebound L and Climb L (means low) As most of you will know one can check the details of the shock by uploading the 4 digit code to: http://www.ridefox.com/fox17/help.php?m=bike So In trying to find out if the shock will need tuning again I got googling and found this very nifty shock tune guide by our friends at RockShox. https://qbp.com/diagrams/TechInfo/vivid.pdf Has anyone managed to find something like this for Fox?How big a difference is there in Medium Firm and Low compression tunes? How much can one manipulate these with air spring volume adjustments which is actually way more adjustable than the compression which we all just have 3 tunes to pick from.. What tunes work best with a slight Rising rate? What works well with a VPP ? Fire away..I'm going on lunch.

    What sort of life do you get out of your components? Chain, Chainrings, Cassette, Blades? Would be interesting to see if one brand gets more kilometres / hours than the other. Do cheaper, heavier components last longer? Does anyone even measure their bike maintenance or just replace components when necessary? I usually get around 1200km out of a XX1 chain. 11 000km on a X01 cassette and still riding fine.

    Got a Reba dual air and a frame off the hub a few weeks ago and on the second ride it seemed to loose -ve pressure, pumped it up and 2km into the ride the left fork seal popped out. As it was second hand thought it just needed a service, new seal kit installed by the bike shop on Friday all seemed fine on short Saturday shakedown ride. Just had a look and the seal has popped out again, any idea what could be causing it?

    Unfortunately I get to see the worst of the worst! What is the worst you have ever seen. Thought I would share a couple of photos to illustrate the effect of not servicing your equipment on a regular basis! All that dirt, grit, grime and fine dust creates a very fantastic sanding paper effect!

    Super Deluxe allowed us to ditch old design constraints, and simply focus on building the best possible rear shock. And with that old thinking no longer holding us back, we began to wonder why coil-shock performance had to be limited to purely downhill and enduro applications and why there should be any pedaling compromise associated with a coil shock.

    Hello all, Hope you guys are doing well. So, my first service for my fork is very near. I am not entirely sure when to service your fork, but I am going with the Fox video I watched which stated after 4 months. My fork will be turning 4 months old on 20 February. My fork: RockShox Reba RLT. Where do you guys service your forks? LBS which I dealt with are CWC, ThisWayOut (but the mechanic moved to EvoBikes) and Trek Bicycles. Asked for a quote today at Trek and it was R450. Is this the going rate? Thanks. Take care. ~ André

    I have a Rockshox Reba RL 120mm. Had it for about 18 months now. Lowers have been serviced regularly. All in a very good condition and well maintained. I experience a lot of "road chatter" recently. Fork is not plush as it used to be. It used to "soak" up everything. I picked the line and didnt worry much about minor obstacles...I serviced the damper this wekeend - putting in new oil (Putoline HPX 5wt). Fork was as good as new - soaks up everything, all good.... This lasted about 2 rides. Now it is back to this frustrating state of non performance. I played with the air pressure, damper setting etc etc. Cannot get it sorted. What else should I try?! <frustration> Thanks in advance for any pearls of wisdom!

    Hey fellow hubbers, A question for the fork gurus: I was wondering if 26er RS fork components are interchangeable, I have a broken Revelation lower ( broken arch and dropout) and wanted to know if a Reba lower would work with the Revelation crown and stanchions? Thanks, Dale
  26. Groenkloof1
    Is it just me or was it very obvious that the pro's are ditching the RS1 in favour of SID's and the new Fox 32 step cast? Would like to know your opinion on this interesting tech omission from the race

    It's hard to imagine that not too long ago dropper posts where an oddity found only on custom builds and made by only a handful of manufacturers. Even though the benefits were clear, the early samples were unreliable, short on drop and needed lots and lots of care. Click here to view the article

    So, I have a 2014 Rocky Thunderbolt with Fox (32) CTD 120mm up front. So far I have found this fork to be pretty much the only limitation to this brilliant do it all bike for me at the moment. (Refer to an old topic here, not going to go into all the details of why i think this fork sucks, but in essence its a bit floppy: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/156825-what-sag-are-you-running-on-your-trail-bike/ ) I considered upgrading the damper on the 2014 Fox to the newer FIT4 damper on recommendation from some folks, but having had some experience now with FIT4 on my other (XC) bike, and its pretty much non-existent small bump compliance, I am thinking of ditching FOX altogether and taking the plunge on a Rockshox fork. I am not very well versed with Rockshox forks as all my previous bikes had Foxes. So please help me choose a suitable fork. So far what i have found to (perhaps) be compatible are: Pike 650b 130mm Revelation 650b 130mm Reba 650b 120mm What i can deduct from the RS website is that the Reba is 32mm and for XC (thus possibly ruled out), while the Revelation is a 32mm trail fork (most likely closest to what I currently have in the Fox) and the Pike is a 35mm AM fork. The 35mm Pike obviously comes at a slight weight penalty (don't care), but what are the significant differences in "feel" between these forks? Travel is mostly the same, so there must be something else in terms of adjustability and/or feel that sets them apart? I use this bike mostly for trail riding, however lately i have started pushing perhaps a bit into the Enduro domain (though I wouldn't say that I'm far into that domain, my abilities are not really that good yet). Saying that, this fork will see pretty much standard trail use probably 70% of the time, should be stiff (the opposite of my current Fox!), predictable, handle corners well and handle small bumps well at high speed (i.e. stick to the trail like stink on dog-sh!t when stuff gets hairy...). Please chime in and help me decide!
