Competitive Cyclist Guide to Fox 32 RLC Fork Set Up Shock Set Up

[doughtyryan]

Oh, I forgot to mention, Please note:

The 2011 model forks have switched the blow-out and rebound adjustments. The RED rebound is now on the bottom, and the BLUE 'Lock-out blow-out' adjustment is on top. This makes sense as your more likely to fiddle with the 'Lock-out Blow-out' while your riding. E.g, you might want slight play even though your 'Locked out'.

They are still colour coded accordingly.

The folks also some with an 'O' ring in place now, so you can monitor Sag etc..

Thanks

Great video, nice easy to watch and follow.

I was getting concerned about my forks. They were new with my Cube Stereo, but they seemed so soft, nearly bottomed out after a nasty rock garden (Rider + kit = weight 110kg). However, after watching this video I played with the compression damping ring, which I over looked and it's made such a difference.

@MsBixby You may need to change your air spring. By that I mean lower the air prerssure in the left side of the fork. You'll need a shock pump to do it, or if easier, take it to your local shop. Any shop would have a pump and most likely be glad to help you out. You'll want to shoot for 20-25% sag when you ease yourself up on the bike in riding position.

I have my fork set at 80mm travel, because that's what my (small) frame is designed for. This is supposed to give about 3 1/2 inches of travel, except when I push down on the handlebars, it only moves about an inch, no way 3 1/2 inches. The rebound adjustment and damper adjustment didn't change anything either, when I push down on the bars with all my weight (130lb). The fork is new, it doesn't need a rebuild... Thank you

[TheWayneedwards]

do you have to have the forks locked out while changing the dials or not?

[competitivecyclist]

@TheWayneedwards You do not have to lock out the fork to do the setup. Actually, you'll want to have the fork open so that you can push it down to test the feel of the damping, both compression and rebound, when you make your adjustments.
