Pour Les Riders Du Québec

Fred

Salut, j'ai un bike de freeride avec une fourche de freeride/all mountain et j'aimerais la baisser

....

En gros, j'aime pas le débattement de ma pike ( 110mm) j'aimerais la baisser ( 100-90 ) mais j'sais trop pas comment

J'ai gosser avec l'air, mais ça donne ça : http://www.vimeo.com/731808 Exactement ce que je veux pas ( le slack )

J'ai ouvert ma fourche du bord du u-turn et je me suis retrouver avec ces deux affaires là:

Si il faut mettre des spacer, pouvez vous m'indiquer ou?
Sinon que faut-il faire?

J'aimerais une réponse très claire, photo, directives, tout....

Merci bien de m'aider

Ok, this is what I found from http://www.streetsteeze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=974&postdays=0&po…

Edit- Here's the steps for anyone else with a pike that wan't to lower it.

1. Remove the u-turn nob on the top left side of the fork.

2. There will be 3 ball bearings under the u-turn nob that are resting on springs that go into little holes, remove them and put them somewhere safe.

3. Using a socket or wrench undo the top cap on the u-turn side until it is comepletely free of the fork.

4. At the bottom of the left leg of the fork there will be an allen bolt that is holding the bottom of the u-turn assembly into the fork, undo it most of the way and then tap the bolt with a rubber mallet to free the damper shaft from the bottom of the lowers( It's pressed in a bit). Then undo the bolt the rest of the way and the whole u-turn spring assembly should slide right out the top of the fork.

5. Use a rag or cloth that you don't mind getting dirty to take the grease off the spring(So it's easier to hold onto when you lower the travel).

6. Put the shaft at the end of the spring into a vice with something in between it and the vice to prevent it from scratching the surface (I just used a few sheets of paper).

7. Get a firm grip on the spring and pull on it while turing it in a clockwise direction. The pulling helps to spread the coils so that when you reach the point where the spring coils tighter to stop it from going lower then 95mm it will be spread far enough for it to make it though the u-turn peice and therefore lower the travel below 95mm!

8. Once you've got it lowered as much as you want( It might take a few tries to get the right level) re-grease the spring and slide the spring assembly back though the top of the crown and thread the allen bolt back through the bottom of the fork, it will pull the shaft back into it's place. Then just tighten the allen bolt to rockshox's specs(should be on their website).

9. Get the socket back out again and tighten the top cap back into the crown.

10. Put the 3 springs and ball bearings back into the top cap and re-install the u-turn ajuster nob back on top of them.

Now go for a ride on your freshly lowered pike!

It's seriously easy and it only took like 15 minuits to do(and I've never even opened up a fork before this).
