fox rp23 shock

[Stevief]

Just got a new bike with the rp23 shock after having had a rp2 . can someone please tell me what the numbers 123 mean, which one is for lockout , open , propedal etc. When i ride i cannot feel that much difference on either setting.

There is no lockout on a rp23...there is only full open on propedal(adjusted by your blue levertjie). The 1-2-3 setting only applies to when the shock is on propedal and adjusts the firmness thereof. I can't remember which is the more firmer option but even on it, there is still a bit of give

0, 1, 2, 3 are the numbers, 0 full open (soft) to 3 firm setting. (assuming you have the latest shock w/boost valve)

huh...there is no 0...only 1,2 and 3. I take it you mean flipping the lever to full open is 0?

huh, look again.. Although, pre 2012 I think does not have the 0.. so you are also right.

yes i got the boost valve one, what the heck does that mean?? So basically 1 soft 2 harder 3 hardest....Thats when its on propedal??

Otherwise unlocked i dont think i have number 0 its a 2011 shock with boost valve.

Nope, no 0... I have the pre 2012 then....2011 Gary Fisher superfly

I cant feel much difference with it on or off, but I can definitely see that it eliminates most of the pedal bob that is there when its off - so it does work.

Ok so you have the same one as me....if you looking for a switch that will lockout completely....there isn't one....get a RS if you want that. When you flip to pro pedal its just different degrees of firmness but never full lock.

PS I have mine on 3...the firmest although I never use it.

I find its perfect on the climbs but its a bit hard for the downhills so i need to adjust something. So it looks like i need to put it on 2 perhaps and make sure its not on propedal when going downhill but on open? Is this correct?

Correct normal cross country on Pro Pedal and open on technical rocky and downhill

Ja play around although like I said, I just leave mine on full open anyway because I forget to switch it to and from propedal.

 

Ideally you want to set it to the firm setting(1,2 or 3 whichever flavour of it you like...play around with this) on the flats and climbs and then flick it over to full open on the downs, the kuk comes in trying to remember to do this when you are bleeding out of your eyes.
