I got some tools from a US seller on eBay. There seem to be a lot of low cost options out there. You will need the shock body clamp and the shaft clamp, this is usually on the same tool. Then you need the clamp to unscrew the main seal. That will get you far enough in to change the oil and main...
Thanks. I managed to get the air can and clip back on. Pumped it up and released the air slowly about 10 times and finally got it to not suck down. I stripped it completely down….. then found out about the recall. I’m going to reassemble it, hit up the local service center and see if I can get...
After a troublesome time with my Fox X2 I decided it was either time to throw it in the trash or have a go at rebuilding it myself. I had the shock repaired under warranty about 18 months ago due to cavitation. Since then, due to moving house, then an injury that has kept me off mountain biking...
The sound alone (if its clearly audible) should be enough for a warranty repair. Some have reported updated internals being used during the repair which could help improve the longevity of the shock and actually get it to its service interval
A common problem is cavitation. Air bubbles form in the damping oil. This essentially kills damping in the shock.
In my shock you could hear squelching as the shock compressed and rebounded. Out on the trail the damping drastically reduced after a short period of use. Fox have generally fixed...
You can definitely tell the difference between a not riding because your X2 is in for service and something that doesnt break.
I have a Trek Rail with a RS delux select (super basic) and the difference between that and a properly working X2 is staggering. Trouble is the X2 is so damn fragile...
Does anyone know if there is a way to roll back to an earlier version of the software? I will be selling my reign as soon as I get it out of storage in a couple of weeks due to an injury that will keep me off the bike for the rest of the year. There was a point in time where the software side of...
I have just got back to the forum after not using my Reign for a long time. I have been between houses and living out of a van for most of this year. I decided to put the Giant in storage and stick with my well used Trek Rail. I had a few issues with the Giant software during 22. Initially it...
Looking for some feedback from Jade X owners.
I am planning on finally upgrading the stock Delux shock on my high milage (but still favorite) Rail 7. As it’s old and my second bike I’m not in for spending a fortune. I have found a Jade X and a Super Delux Thru Shaft both at a decent price. I...
I am seeing this same issue with power. It’s frustrating. I’m not sure if it’s Garmin or Giant related. I tried to calibrate the sensor in the Edge but it never completed the cal.
Weather to bad for me to solve it right now. Giant update didn’t fix it. I have had Garmin updates also so maybe...
What is your issue with the power sensor?
Initially mine synced with the Garmin and gave me believable power readings. After a while it started giving me power readings of 2-5w max. I tried to calibrate it but the calibration never finishes.
You need to add a separate power sensor and show...
One thing I noticed after the recent firmware install is that the surging at the assistance cut off point came back. It had been fixed in an earlier update, I was pretty happy with the motor feel and the cut off felt comparable to Bosch. I was also getting assistance just after 25kph indicated...
Agreed. When I had the cavitation issue the first thing I noticed was that I was getting bounced off the pedals on braking bumps. Wasn’t drastic just a noticeable change that couldn’t be tuned out. Didn’t make the bike feel dangerously unpredictable. I rode it for a week with a couple of park...
Save yourself 100E and get the new (2021+) 350. Same engagement, few grams more and slightly narrower bearing spacing. Damed if I could notice those differences and I like black and white more than black and red. Easy choice for me.
in any case DT Swiss ratchet is tough to beat for reliability...
