Another option is MRP ramp control. I have fox 34 130mm, it came with 3 volume spacers. Having 100kg rider weight I needed high pressure to get the correct, but then with the spacers in I lost a lot of travel, spacers out I bottomed out. MRP ramp control gives me perfect travel and made the fork feel more matched to the shock which is a fox reactive with the through axle.

DOT fluid absorbs water (moisture) from the air...so lasts longer once opened in arid climates. In the uk, good for 6-12months once opened if kept inside in the dry..fine for 2 x annual full fluid replacement. Squeeze as much air out the container before sealing

Don't forget cable cutters for that starter kit, and have a look at Pedro's tools

Thanks Doddy for answering my question! (Quite late, but answered nonetheless.) I found there was 1 volume spacer installed stock and I added 2 more. It seems better now, but I've not been back to that same rock drop yet (and riding season is nearly over for the next 4 months due to snow).

Great AskGMBNTech show Doddy This going around Bath answering questions has no become a thing hasn't it lol :)

#AskGMBNTech Hi Gmbn, I am loving the show! Keep up the good work guys. I have a 2by xt drive train set up, and it’s 10 speed.

Great videos! Quick question though around 7:00 you mention that adding volume spacers would keep him from bottoming out and also allow him to use more of the travel. Agree adding volume spacers would help him from bottoming out but wouldn’t adding spacers actually limit travel of his fork even more?

#askgmbntech Hey, I've just (re?)started mountain biking this summer on a nice 2nd hand s-works enduro 2014. My big objective this year, before I get 30, is to do the Megavalanche. Do you have suggestions about specific preps to do to the bike? Mainly, my roval carbon wheels seem to be problematic even on smooth terrain and I tend to bend / brake a lot of spokes. Is it a good idea to "downgrade" for recent, stronger aluminium wheels (I'm thinking Hope tech Fortus)? I hear that'd be better in chaotic rocky terrain, but I fear I'd lose a lot of the snappiness of the bike... Cheers

#AskGMBNTech I recently got a 2019 Vitus Nucleus VRX that has come with a Suntour Raidon fork with 32mm stanchions and 120mm travel. I am interested in reducing the air volume. Could you tell me if I need to do this with spacers or oil? There is no information in the owners manual of either fork or the bike and I can't find any spacers on Suntour's website or any other bike shops that fit my fork (the only ones I find are for shocks or forks with 34mm-36mm stanchions). If I need to do this with oil, could you tell me which oil as I can't find any information on this either? Love the show, thanks in advance!

Hi Doddy! I've just bought myself a 2015 Canyon Strive CF, and it looks like it has some metal integrated into the chainstay, on the drive side, near the chainring. What is the point of it?

if it has coil or air does not play a role in the geometry, but this question has been answered many times already, but it will raise the BB, it will shorten the reach, slacken the seat angle, so you need to move the saddle forward and change angle slightly, make the head angle slacker. it might work ok or decent or it might be horrible, it depends on the geometry of the bike.

5:27 It's great I love it, for me it was the only solution, cus there are no mechanical shifters that would fit me on the market, and shifting a mechanical shifter fatigues my thumb, especially with clutch on Rear derailleur, but the extreme throw a mechanical shifter like Shimano XTR M9000 has is way too much, also I have issues with my thumb popping out of place, it can happen while shifting resulting in pain. The buttons are easy to press, no pain or fatigue even when my thumb pops out place I can still shift, without any pain. Don't buy the old version even if you get a good deal on it, cus it won't handle water spray, washing bike, puddles, but the Archer D1X Trail does handle it. so far no problems with puddles, rain, washing bike. here is a pic of Archer D1X Trail mounted on my Geometron G1: flic.kr/p/2i1BmMK As long as you have the P straps tight(named after Paul The Punter), it will be secure, especially with some rubber or tape at the area. you will still be able to move it, for easier wheel removal or removing batteries I flip the stifter up, for battery removal Archer recommends to a magnet, I use a magnet side of a Park Tool pick. The reason the batteries are tricky to remove and get stuck is due to waterproofing, I got this info from them via Dm on instagram.
