I'm all sorted now, strip down and custom tune has made the 38 unbelievably good.
114psi gives me 20% sag, hsc no longer needs to be fully open to compensate harshness and rebound is up a few clicks. It's like butter on small hits and just eats the large ones .
No spacers needed, used 90% of...
I use the shockwiz to sanity check my manual adjustments. I used it to confirm the harshness before sending them off. Just fitted the freshly serviced/tuned forks and already I can feel how much smoother they are from pressing them down. No more sucking in to lowers and sag is bang on.
So the forks are on their way back to me from being stripped down. There was a blockage with excess grease and what was described as enough grease to service 50 forks. The shim stack has been adjusted too so hopefully they're perfect now and I'm off to BPW next week.
I've done BPW and use thick soft DMR grips and found them no different from the levo ally bars. I did today drop 10psi below fox recommendations on forks and found them super plush and absorbs every impact effortlessly.
They're not ebike specific, but I set sag fully kitted up with everything I take on trail.
I've booked them in for a strip down as I don't have the tools for a 38 and a custom tune to give me some additional HSC adjustment.
If that doesn't fix the issue, I'll fit zebs.
Hi all,
I've ran out of options and ideas and fox's response just baffles me.
I've got the 2021 fox 38 factory and cannot get the wrist wrecking nature of these forks to quite down.
I've tried all and no spacers, 15 and 30% sag, fully backed of LSC/ HSC. Doesn't matter if I put 100psi or...
I've just seen this after starting a post, just to add to it... if you have a pre order before the price increase, you'll get hit with 10% increase too.
Check with your dealer to be sure.
For those wondering, the 2022 S model up to x01 have no changes other than 2022 stamped components and the R gets the ep8 motor.
Prices are up 10% on any 2022 model and its rumoured anyone still waiting on back order will be hit with the new price!
I've ran the stock RS ultimate and the other week stopped it out for a X2 and the difference is mega. Not sure what SC do to make it a custom tune, but after dialing in the X2, it's super poppy and butter on big hits.
