Fox dhx 4.0 coil setup

I just need to find out how to get new seals and whatever other parts I need to do the rebuild. Nick-M2r wrote: Replacement o-rings are easy to get. AxionJaxon wrote: Nick-M2r wrote: Replacement o-rings are easy to get. How often and how hard do you ride them?

I was thinking of trying to rebuild this shock myself. Anyone done this before, if so can you fill me in here. Simple answer, no. On first inspection, the DHX and the Roco look quite similar. They both feature two air chambers, a rebound knob and an Pedaling Efficiency Switch. Posted In: Stories Reader Stories. Cam Zink Signs with Devinci views.

Oh, and your mom never gets old. WhistlerRocks Mar 10, at I'm thinking of getting an air shock Fox DHX 5. I have never liked air shocks The mid stroke wallow and bottoming is a real PIA to deal with. I have never had this with a coil. Weight weenies can don the spandex and rave about how light they are while they spend their money on one instead of a gym membership , I won't debate that I don't think so!!

Better every year I like air shocks and they aren't that hard to set up. Just need to understand what each feature is doing and why. Good on you for writing it up. One thing that should be mentioned is that the propedal is a low speed compression adjustment. For the older models that didn't have a switch, you could fine tune the propedal for conditions.

Ideally it would have a switch and a dial. And like a previous guy said the bottom dial does change the highspeed compression. Also, setting sag should be done with equal weight over the front AND back of the bike, balanced like you would be riding. The idea with sag and why it so important to set properly, is that it allows the wheel to maintain traction when traveling over holes and through ruts.

Allows the wheel to drop into the hole instead of the entire bike. A short answer would be that running anything at their extreme operating settings will cause pre mature failure. Well, it isn't rocket science is it? I am 75k and I ride my DHX 4. When I take the bike down to the trails, it is a only a flick on the lever's and there you go.

The air spring rate feature, I don't use it that much to be perfect ly honest I've just got it into the possition Taylor says it is best as I really don't see that much difference. Nothing new, but a must read for someone, who thinks his shop provides ride ready bicycles. It's obvious for certain people to check out every air valve in his bike, not only tires or tubes, but also suspension. This would be the last thing you want to forget - to bubble up fluids in your brand new rear shock.

BRRider Mar 10, at For everyone saying that they don't like their airshock, specifically if they got the DHX Air or a marzocchi, you probably should have looked at your options when buying it a little more carefully. As far as I am concerned, as well as are alot of other happy customers, in terms of feel, adjustment, bottom out resistance, and reliability no stuck down b. It's like the cane creek double barrel of air shocks. If your in the market for a new, or your first air shock check out the Manitou, you won't regret it.

I never figured out the low speed compression, as it has little, to no effect on performance. All in all a good coil shock, thats best suited for descends and jumps, features arent its strong points, but performance is amazing liniear - and if you know what to do with it, you'll likely to go faster and further than before.

TF-TUNED has been great, and got in contact with me in regards to my riding style, weight, purpose, bike type and even my hair color. Ok, not the hair color then. But everything else. Ive just hit the landing on this pic. The DHX coil makes for a controlled, and smooth landing. Posted by V.
