Monkey hive mind. Conventional wisdom on the 36 was to yank all tokens. Same for 38? What says you, people that have time on one? @bullcrew @HAB @englertracing @djjohnr and others?
38 setup question
- Thread starter jstuhlman
- Start date
I actually found Fox's recommended number of tokens vs amount of travel wasn't too bad. At 180mm, one token worked for me. At 170mm, two was good. I found removing tokens made the fork dive to a little too much.
I agree with "Remove tokens, install Runt". I just did that and it made a big difference.

The 38 is a different beast then the 36
I've only got a few runs on them
But 1-2 seem reasonable on the 38

thanks all. just reduced to one token for a start and reset air pressure at factory recs. i tend to run both hi and lo compression one or two clicks from wide open so started there. will see how rebound feels when i throw it on tomorrow give it a shakedown ride sometime this week. put them at recommended settings to start.
@buckoW are the send buttons the ones on the back of the stanchions?

Well FYI every position of hsc on the grip 2 vvc is wide open on the high speed.
I'd reccomend running that sucker all the way in.
It's not even close to an rc2 that's completely backed off.

Took a poop next to my 38 and couldn't figure out which was a bigger piece of sh!t...almost put the real turd on my bike and rode it..
Did a secus on 38 and it was great, i swapped to a runt and love it as well...I like the grip 2 damper with a better curve...
grip 2 likes a linear environment...
I liked the grip 2 in the 36, although it has a avy cart and a runt in it now..

I'm going with new ohlins 38 when it comes out and I have adapters for the fox 38 to get avy cart slapped in.
New 38 SC can go 200mm
Pretty much nailed it there.
I'm completely serious tho.
You should try more shims In the base valve If you haven't already
You sure about that? The 200mm spring tube from the DH fork physically fits, but I don't think the stanchions or damper in the RXF38 are long enough.
Also that.
Because I can no other reason and definitetly no good ones lol
I won't go past 180 myself.
Forks dont flex under me I defy gravity, laws of physics and common sense cease at my door step ..
"Hold my beer, watch this"
I haven't but now I need to look, I have my tire on dual crowms touch down tube , had a buddy snap his 951 off at head tubes after his fork left marks on down tube...older boxxer on his.

last summer i saw a concerning number of enduro bikes and fanny packs in line for the lift at the bike park. i even saw ebikes going on the lift for some reason.

I haven't pulled the top cap off to check the number of tokens yet, but I agree with the statements above to run the high speed comp adjuster full closed and go on the high end of air pressure. I'm going to install the Secus this weekend to keep the fork higher in its travel on the steep stuff without having to run higher pressures.
i just hope they don't burn the lift down
I just saw someone wearing pit vipers while doing trail work.
No it was pre evo..mine are Evo and have plenty of scary moments left, thats my take till it goes wrong....no marks on downtubes so far...my old socom damn that one scared the hell out of me had it 2 weeks about put tire to the down tube...I saw the flex....sold it asap lol...white bike and black skidmark on downtube...That might be another sign that it's time to get a modern bike.
Another person that did not know what the Socom was meant to be an thinks it was a bad bike.
Is that better or worse than dudes in half-lids on XC bikes with camelbacks?
For some reason there is a trail suitable for that. Just one.
I know what it's for,point shoot and run crap over...Another person that did not know what the Socom was meant to be an thinks it was a bad bike.
Should have seen how my Klein mantra died the first day...now that wasn't made for abuse...lol
Serious question: I watched a random youtube video filmed in the whistler bikepark where one of the rider had a half lid helmet. I thought that wearing a full face helmet was mandatory for bikepark riding. At least it is here in Sweden. How is it in North America?
Sure.....
