I feel this man would be not only my mechanic but even my psychotherapist

This gentleman is a suspension genius

Not really lol. Just different tone. Try ask Morgan Freeman to narrate suspension setup. With Han Zimmer as scoring. And directed by Christopher Nolan.

ASMR for mountainbike guys. Loved this. Lots of good information. Thanks for sharing.

This man has the enviable skill of talking sense, while performing a delicate mechanical operation. For me it's either-or.

This is probably one of the best suspension setup video's I've watched. I love how the focus is on setting it up to the rider. Notice how he glossed over sag/air spring rate and said that will change based on how hard you're pushing the bike. Explaining how he gets balanced and focusing on no compression unless needed to adjust ride high in certain sections of trail is huge. Much much better than the other sag/rebound/compression setup videos.

While I'm certainly no novice when it come to suspension setup, I still really enjoyed this..... Great info, laid out in easily to understand terms and the interviewer didn't interrupt with a bunch of useless replies. Well done guys!

ThunderStruckCoach well put. I totally agree.

Who knew Ser Jorah knew so much about suspension

love his honesty. "don't use that" (the high speed compression on the fork). saying you should try to get the air pressure and volume spacers to do the work of getting it balanced and correct before you start using compression. Good stuff

This is the best technical video I have seen in quite some time. Chris Porter took a deep dive into the material rather than just handing out factory spec. guidelines. Although he suggested baselines he explained what to look for while adjusting for terrain/surface and rider style. Great explanations! Thanks so much! That was a true Master Class.

Here I an one year later to seccond that. I would like to add that the reporter was great by staying silent and letting the master teach, his tone overflows knowledge and commands attention with ease... beautifull... as a newbie learned so much from this great video... I'm watching this 2 years later, still spot on.

That's a great 12 minutes. He really knows his stuff.

Really enjoyed this. Gave me a lot to think about with my setup on my Fox 36 and X2. I'd be stoked to see more content like this.

Love the background info on *why* you would bother with some of these settings. Best suspension set-up vid I have seen in a while!

That was so soothing to watch

Great video, Im a return mountain biker after an 18 year gap. Sooo much to learn. My other bikes were coil so good to get an understsnding. Ive had to learn all the riding skills again so Im not very agressive out on the track. I was only using half the travel from other recommended setups. I see now that I need to set it up for me and by current riding style. Thank you for this, great vid!

Really great video ! I have watched a lot of suspension setup vids so far, but this is really one of the best.

This video will eventually end up on one of those unintentional ASMR channels with a zillion views. Great info and very soothing.

That guy could teach anything and make it interesting and easy to learn! Great video guys!

Dude was awesome. Love his chill demeanor. Need more like him around.

By far the most educational suspension setup i've ever watched!!!! Thanks for the great info

This was really helpful, thanks!

This was an amazing video!

Excellent! Will be using this video to help with my setup. Thanks 👍🏻

This is so good. I've been thinking about low speed compression a lot lately and this really set off a lightbulb for me. Using LSC to load either the front or the rear during corners is something that would have taken me a long time to come up with.

I took notes! Very informative

Enjoyed every second of this video! Nicely and understandable explanation, more info here than most 20min or more suspension videos! I m already curious for your next posts. Good job guys!! 👌

SIr, I need you in my life. Suspension angel of some sort!!

How amazing would it be to have him setup our bikes! I've got missed feelings after watching this video. On one hand I now realize just how amazing a proper suspension setup it. On the other hand I'm wondering if I will ever even come close to knowing enough to get my suspension dialed in. Even if I think my suspension is dialed in today I'm going to wonder if it could be better. Great video!

Regular Guy Mountain Biking don’t obsess over it. Just ride your bike.

Bloody thank you, I was going bonkers with the x2 setup

Spot on tutorial mate 👍✋ Thank you.

Excellent informative stuff, thanks

Thank you for teaching sen master!

Very nicely explained. Even a new understands it.

Crackin legend. Epic boss, mega respect. Good man.

I finally know how to set up rebound. This lad is suspension God

Master class indeed!👍🏻

best explanation ever

Some good tips, which ill be trying on tomorrows ride, but now I need this for my Bos DeVille and Bos Kirk , they are a PITA ...

Great explanation thanks. I lock the fork on my HT on smooth standup climbing,for support.

EPIC!!! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!

This video makes me feel like I set up my bike completely wrong.

i love this guy

Excellent.

WOW EXCELLENT VIDEO

thank*s for that useful lnformations!!!

Great info 👍🏻

This guy is my hero

This is some info right here!!!

nice man...it was so clear

cool video!

I like Chris' rebound approximation test of looking at the entire bike as it moves through travel (car park test). Haven't heard that one before.

Good stuff!

Can you pls do a review setup tune for the fox dpx2

Great thank you 🤙

I use low speed compression on my hard tail fork to keep the front end higher preserving the geometry.

8:25 great strategy for setting rebound. Something that has always troubled me. Thanks!

Also summer and winter temps will need different rebound speeds because of the chain oil viscosity

Amazing 😳

He blesses the suspension.

mate this guy knows his physics

Jorah has recovered well from the greyscale

Perfect

Well put information

Mind still boggled...what are volume spacers for?

Super video

That information was completely lost on me but, I still enjoyed it!

What was the reason for so many volume spacers in the X2? Did you bottom out?

How much does the tester Jamie weight and how much pressure is he running in the shock thanks??

Would set up be the same for dpx2?

I have a Fox float DPS can You do jumps on firm mode? On firm mode should be completely stiff? Mine on firm mode still does movements

Good insight....don't believe I caught what the high and low speed rebound settings were on the X2 shock. Anybody??

Can you please tell me how much torque is needed to attach my Fox Van RC Performance to my 2018 Mondraker Summum ?

The brain on this guy

Did he just add one compression spacer in place of the red one? 80 KG myself and running about 170psi and already added one extra in place of the red one (three total) is it safe to run 2 extra total of 4 in a 2.25 shock?

Wow! I didn't know Jorah Mormont knew so much about suspension!!!

Why did you take out the spacer limiter and only put in one reducer? The limiter area is bigger than a reducer

This is ASMR for me

I just bought this shock , I'm Going to be running it with a boxxer on a gt fury 1.0 what happens if I don't put volume spacers in it ? I'm 190 , I have no clue about this shock I'm kinda scared feel like I bought something really exspensive an it's going to suck !

I live in Oregon can I ride it on the beach

Love the wheels on that bike! Which model wheels are those?

Thim can you explain what you mean by this?

I own a hardtail... yet I'm here watching this!

Ok, I weigh 95kg 100 at most. I ride a Giant anthem 2015 27,5 120 F 90mm R. I ride everything actually on this bike. I find it hard to hop a 10cm street curb without hitting denting my rear wheels. It's annoying. I know it's my tire pressure and suspension setup. What do you guys suggest? I currently run 95psi front and 235psi-240psi in the rear shock. rebound is one thing I don't understand. the rear is very slow just 2 clicks to fully open/slow and the front on fork is like halfway/12clicks (21 clicks altogether) I run 2.2 rear TR tires 38psi when dry and 28 in wet conditions 2.2 front 35 dry 26psi wet.

He is the Oracle of all things springy

Locking out the front is for climbing and sprinting out of the saddle in XC racing.

what are those rims/wheels they look nice... Also this guy is sir jorah mormont the shock whisperer

Ahhh the sound of a gritty fox compression dial on its way to seizing up .... great

what's the weight for the bike itself?

SRAM specifically says "Do not compress suspension with pump attached". What is the reason for this?

Jedi of Suspension

Im always tweaking with my suspension way too much, wish I can bring it to a place that can set it up perfectly for me.

Hi guys...I have a Rockshox revelation series 150mm fork...and I can not put any volume spacers i side becouse there is no thread on the inside of the air cap...those this mean that my fork isn't compatiable with volume spacers or I can buy a threaded volume top cap and put volume spacers inside

You should be able to buy a threaded top cap from SRAM that will let you run bottomless tokens. Cheers

It proper to compress the shox with the pump screwed??

@MBRmagazine

He's just charging the negative chamber, so it's fine. When setting sag, you can also just unscrew the pump so that it disengages from the valve core, but leave it attached to the shock to save time.

cool

Watch it...and watch it again.
