    Difference between 2005 and 2006 fox 40 RC2 ??

    They were intending to change the hydraulic bottom out rings to smoother bushing type thingies... Not sure if that has made it to the '06 production. Thing is, Fox suspension makes running changes to their model lineup as and when they see room for refinement. A lot of it is not very...

    does the fox 36 suck, after all?

    In the case of the RC2 units, the feel when you run light to heavy high speed compression is almost like increasing progressive feel. It might not be that, but it sure does feel like it... And you dont feel any harshness at all running very heavy high speed compression damping in the RC2. In...

    does the fox 36 suck, after all?

    Hi Ogripper, A talas system can be made more progressive in 2 ways. 1) increasing the IFP pressure. 2) Decreasing the IFP volume (by putting in more float fluid in it). Either way's pretty troublesome though and can only be done by Fox service centres...

    does the fox 36 suck, after all?

    Punkassean is exactly right. If you have an RC2 unit, you can tune the thing from full linear all the way to feeling pretty progressive. Especially as the HSV is turned close to the limit. A lot of times, i see criticisms on suspension when it looks like it's not being set to the rider's...

    06 Dh40?

    Oops... My bad... the above was referring to the rear shocks. It was a very rushed reply. It wasn't a change in loctite. It was paint not being fully removed from the crowns before the stantions were pressed in... Someone in the factory sleeping... The paint coat has been changed to a more...

    06 Dh40?

    The Floats and Vanillas went through shim and piston changes a couple of times. The Vanillas now run a Propedal setup stock. IFP design went through a change as well. Fox makes running changes in shim stack and piston design without making much hoohah about it. For the 40, expect this to...

    Okay all you Fox guys should I be worried?

    Hi Bizutch... Then maybe you should try emailing the Fox service centres in other countries. A lot of them reply to emails real fast.

    Okay all you Fox guys should I be worried?

    The Talas is a bit more complicated than that. It's not advisable to play with the air chambers. Note it's a mutiple air chamber fork. The fastest way you can get responce is to email your nearest Fox service centre rather than Fox directly. Your service centre would know how to make the fork...

    Calling all Fox 40 owners

    Most people I know run the high speed compression almost full closed. Like 4 clicks from full closed. That way, you get a fork that feels more progressive. The importer was probably referring to the hydraulic bottom out control. It's set at medium when stock but can be switched to a harder...

    Anchor bikes?

    it's a Kowa rear shock.

    fox 06

    Sorry, I meant structurally, the DHX air is similar to the Epic rear shock. Functionality wise, it'll feel like a slightly more controlled version of the DHX coil. All other functions, valves and shims and whatnot are the same as the DHX. The regular DHXs won't fit the Sunday. You'll need to...

    fox 06

    DHX and DHX air - These will remain essentially the same with changes made to internals. The Boost valve knob has been streamlined to fit more frames. The DHX air is closer to an Epic rear shock than it is to the DHX coil... They're different structurally and are essentially different feeling...

    5 FOX's

    2) Did you get your shock from TWA? They didn't specify the spring rate. What they said they'd do was to take out a spring from an existing new bike and exchange it. Obviously didn't. Otherwise, it's the fault of your dealer not specifying the spring weight. I handle most fox orders in Kian Hong...

    5 FOX's

    A few things... 1) There is no way a distributor can speed up the speed at which a container boat moves. 2) There has been 2 delays from Fox for the 36 and 40s because of the seal manufacturer screwing up the bladder seals. They have had to change seal manufacturers TWICE, with thousands...

    Does the profile imperial sprocket fit a 9s chain?

    Does it fit? Also, I'm very confused as to the various bmx chain widths and sprockets made for different chain widths... So which would fit 9s chains and which would fit 8s chains? What kind of bmx chains can be used for sprocket grinds and stalls? P.S. New DOC owner here as well. Will...
