    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    Sorry, but with all due respect you are wrong. All sprung suspension systems are designed to work primarily from the sag point. The sag is the only aspect of the setup that enables the spring to be able to react to a negative terrain change and still leave the vehicle in a stable condition...

    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    Me too but I was too busy to reply last week. Air leaking past the seals is definitely a thing, but the idea of the transfer port is that its slightly wider than the top seal and therefore as the top seal wipes past it, any differential pressure quicky equalises. So if the lower chamber lost...

    Its probably worth you rewording that a little pal as the sag is by FAR the most important part of any suspension system. It simply doesn't work without it.

    Hope v4 questions

    Mine had the same light application squeal and after further inspection i found that i was engaging the right side of the calliper ever so slightly before the left. Re-centering of the caliper solved that and also the squeak. :) As an aside, I had opportunity to test my Tech 4 back to back with...

    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    Unless when they drop the price of the fork they also strip it down and add a ton of grease then I don’t really see your point. 🤷‍♂️ Regardless of actual purchase price, this is a high end £1450 product that should perform as advertised.

    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    Morning, It didn’t have a strip down. It is a brand new unridden fork. I checked pressure and it was at 70psi out of the box so I inflated it and noted it never went to full extension travel of its own accord. I get your point about the differntial pressure probably being of more help and in...

    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    Infuriating mate, at full retail price this is a £1450 product. How the hell can it be turned to crap by over application of grease after all these years?!

    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    **Update - Fixed ** Decided to nip home at lunch and have a play with it as it was bugging me. :unsure: And its now fixed. (y) Since this might be of interest to other owners of any fork, I will detail the procedure I used here: Step 1: Depressurise the fork slowly whilst equalising as you go...

    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    It had crossed my mind... maybe they were a return, but no signs of it and no star nut had ever been fitted so i think im safe. :) Anyway... fixed, see next update.

    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    The equalisation port is normally in the normal travel section, otherwise it would never work... but I am not really sure with this new Fox cartridge system on the 38 as I’ve never seen inside one.

    Morning, the whole warming up issue is related to the brake pad material, not the mechanical brake. So that’s just pad choice. The Tech 4 has more power than the 3, in fact more power than anything I have ever used, but the lever feel is taking some getting used to. I am using their ebike...

    Fox Factory 38 - missing travel

    Morning folks, I wonder if any of you Fox 38 owners have noticed this on your fork… I have treated myself to a Fox 38 factory 160 at a bargain price as wiggle are selling some OE stuff off cheap. (Very cheap…be quick) I am 101kg fully kitted and have found I need 100psi to give me between 25...

    GIANT Traumas. Are they BATTERY firmware related?

    This is something i have been meaning to take a look at myself but never got round to stripping my spare motor. I will mail Kenny upstairs and see if that part number means anything to him, but i doubt it.

    GIANT Traumas. Are they BATTERY firmware related?

    I thought since another 6 months have passed I should report that the bike continues to work faultlessly and has been out on big mountain days every single week with multiple 3 day weekends. Not a single electrical issue in 18months. That two years of ruined rides, days and weekend trips was...

    Advice on coil shock for 2019 Trance E+1

    That did make me laugh out loud mate. Thanks for that. LOL How did you get on with this? Looking to upgrade the rear of my Trance too.
