I replaced it once for Fox rear shock and it was easy. I assume Vivid Air case will also be easy.
Some shocks, as shjin mentioned above allowed you to just remove the assembly, but it looks like the current Vivid has the valve assembly integrated into the can. You can replace the valve core though.
I'll look into this, it's my gf LitE base model so it's not a zeb, it's a RockShox Super Deluxe Select+. I'm not sure where it got damaged, she hasn't even ridden it yet, we just screwed the shock pump on and all the air pissed out.
You are correct, thank you!
I have put in an Xtra volume spacer. Today was the first ride 1400 metres of descending and it definately felt better. A bit more midstroke support and didn't seem to blow through its travel as quickly
Yes, the Bolts are included with the Bashuard.
23.5 kg without pedals, S3
Could be as simple as just needing to replace the valve core. Would give that a try. If you’re near a good shop with a suspension tech, they should get you up and running pretty fast. (Apologies if you already stated this here, I’m in too many forums to keep track)
Both I and my lbs tried that first, its a hairline crack at the base of the schrader valve itself. Forbidden said they would help ensure this is handled, they suspect that it was damaged by us connecting the shock pump and putting weight on the bike at the same time.
How are you liking the fast fenix?
Whoa, the eDruid has one of the tallest stacks out there. Looks like you're already running a fair stack of spacers and 35mm risers. Did you size down?
No it's an S4.
The bike has to be on for shifting to work. But you can run it in zero support mode . I did hit 0% on the battery once, and the shifting still worked. Surprisingly , the motor still gave support too, so 0% battery isn’t actually dead
How many spacers came stock? Are you at the forbidden recommended psi already ?
What sag are you running? I am at 29% with 3 volume reducers. Seems to be getting closer to how I want it. Compression maxed out on vivid select+
I am already familiar with the Fast Fenix shock from my previous bike and I really like it very much. It is tuned for my weight an the Druid E kinematics. For me, it is one of the best shocks currently available on the market. In the Forbidden, I didn't notice too many advantages over the Vivid shock. That's why I opted for the Vivid because of its adjustability and weight advantage. Overall, however, the Fenix 2.0 has incredibly good sensitivity and also has more counterforce in the middle suspension range than my Vivid shock absorber, as it is currently set up. So if you do not mind the additional weight (+200g with 500 LBS spring) and want more mid stroke support, go for it.
Around 32%, not touched comp or rebound as it feels pretty decent with the recommended settings
Yeah I seem to feel the rear bottom out a bit more frequently than I would prefer. Nothing really harsh but it is on drops and impacts where I wouldn't expect it to so I am reluctant to push things further. The bottom out adjuster is set on the middle setting. If I go full firm it seems to take away much of the feeling I like off the top. So I guess I am just still playing around with everything trying to find the sweetest spot. Look the thing Flys I have set many dh prs already so no complaints here
