Fox Float Performance Evol Shock?!

[s14phoenix]

All on the 2016 Trance 2 (Front is fox 32 with 1 additional blue air spacer) dived into corners at correct sag and blew out easily now much firmer and better. 

 

Just set rear to 30% at 200Psi and trying 6 clicks from closed (fox website 6/7) usually slow it down to 4/5 for drops and jumps but will see. 

 

Sounds good - dial it in from there... I prefer 30% when going playing also. 25% for racing on the 29er.

Awesome cheers man

Every bike is different due to leverage, 200 psi for me could be the same as 170psi for you....dont worry about the pressure too much, just get the sag dialled in correctly and remember to get the negative air chamber filled as well.

Thanks for proving my point.

Yeah all bases covered. But very important to cycle air to the negative air chamber with the EVOL.  I also find that rebound settings influence my sag. If I run 30% sag I tend to bottom out on some jumps. 25% not so much, so basically around 20% working for me at the moment with about 4 clicks from full slow to fast.

Swing round for a volume spacer, it'll make a big difference to your ride...

OP - if you can get yourself and your bike to Salt River we can do a setup for you so you've got a base tune to work off. PM me if you're keen and we can set up a time.

Interesting read.

 

I've been setting up my Anthem (metric EVOL, 110 mm travel) and came upon the same surprise as the OP mentioned. That being that I was surprised at the psi required to get the required sag compared to suggested. As stated, you need to set sag by seeing the sag and adjusting accordingly.

 

What I have noticed is that over the course of 3 weekends, the shock has already developed a bit of a sticky start to its stroke. Meaning, when you either stand next to the bike and press down or if sitting on the bike and bounce a bit, you can feel resistance and then suddenly you're moving.

 

I can't think that it's a sign of a service or top-up of oil as the bike was brand new when I got it. Any ideas?

Will check what I am running on my 2017 Trance adv1 when I get home later.  Think it was quite high compared to my 2015 trance.
