So I’ve done a few rides with the air valves in the shocks. I do feel there is a difference and improvement over stock. I run about 7 to 10 pounds. That seems to be pretty good. They hold air for a...

I finally got around to looking at the valves. I took them out and put on only one or two wraps of Teflon tape. Then put some pipe sealant on the threads and screwed them in. Both shocks are holding...

I feel stupid. That was super easy to get the caps off. I installed both shrader valves and pumped up with air to 20 psi. One side leaked down in 5 seconds. The other side held good for a while....

Well, I popped the cap off my front shock. How do I separate the cap from the inner shock body? I’ve watched some videos online but there seems to be a lot of parts and seals. I could just start...

I ordered 1/8 shrader valves and a 1/8 NPT tap today. I couldn’t find the thread size on the valves so I hope the tap matches them. The side of the RockShox that goes into the shock cap is tiny and...

I ordered RockShox you posted the link to. Unfortunately, they are a hair too big to screw in. I measured the thread width with electronic calipers. The stock screw was about 4.60mm and the...

The polar bear shocks do look interesting. The description says compression and rebound adjustments but I don’t see any knobs on either end of the fork. Freddy, do the brake mounts and shock body...

I’d consider buying some better adjustable forks. So far the forks are the only disappointing part of the bike for me. If anyone knows what would fit in the stock clamps please share! Would the X...

I changed my fork oil to 15w. Procedure was very simple. I measured 260 ml in each fork but that was with a kitchen measuring cup. I put back in a tad more. I think there is more stiffness but it’s...

After you drained it how much oil did you put back in to each shock? This is my next project. I'm going to try 15w oil only and see how it goes. I put about 70 miles on the bike so far. It I'm...

Thanks. I read those posts. I was hoping for a simpler way. I thought Fast Freddy posted he used some car suspension tool and didn’t need to remove the shock.

How do you adjust the preload on the rear shock? There is not much room to get any tool in there to spin the collar.
