Lyrik service and debonair up

[thebarber]

Just finished servicing and upgraded to debonair but not sure if I got the oil right.
10ml of 2.5wt in each lower.
Is that right, nowt in the uppers?
Just working them in the shop and night and day from what they were mind.
I also fitted meg neg to rear so any advice on that would be welcome aswell.
Cheers dudes

10ml of 0w-30 in the lowers. TBH it’s only lube for the bushings so 2.5wt is not going to be a problem. I’ve got 18 Lyriks, but service mine using the 2019/2020 service manual. As per manual, I use RS Dynamic seal grease on the seals and inject 2-3 ml of 0w-30 in the air spring upper side.

As for the MegNeg, I am running 1 token and 3 bands on my Super Deluxe. Works well for my weight (90kg fully kitted) and riding style.

Definitely nice little upgrades which you’ll notice out on the trails!

Enjoy!

I’ve stripped and serviced my free hub, rear shock, replaced shock linkage bushings and bearings, chainring, cassette and chain, may as well do the forks whilst I am at it.... Looks like another wet cold mud fest this weekend!

With the forks 1st service since new, I've noticed I need a lot more rebound than before.
I'm assuming because there's less stiction and everything is working as it should.

upgrading to debonair has changed the spring curve AND positive and negative air volumes.
changing spring rate always alters rebound.
Just set the rebound and sag to where you them it and note how many clicks, psi etc.
Ignore your old settings.
hope this helps

Same advice with your shock and the newly fitted meg neg BTW
