Fox float rp23 air sleeve service free#

Still not a great shock in my opinion, but way better than rp23z. With a little know how it is super easy to purge a little air out of the oil if it gets in there, and if you are hands on, there are a bunch of good threads on mtbr about bleeding and oil changes. You can put a shim or two in the high volume can to give it some ramp up, and it doesn't have a nitrogen charge.

Srsly, if your frame can fit it, and you have a choice, go dhx air every time. Both are easy to service/bleed yourself with a little know-how which is nice if you ride all year round and want to save some cash.ДЄfter alot of riding, every rp will do that, and you'll have to do the same thing to it (unless you have a friend who services snomo/atv suspension and has a nitro tank and nitro needle and some 7mm o-ring cordage) For the price the rebuild will cost, might want to consider a used monarch or a dhx air if you had any desire to go that direction. I had a dhx air start doing that after a few weeks of riding and they took care of it for me.

Fox float rp23 air sleeve service free#

Might get a discount from fox or free service if it's new enough. Send to push or fox service center, depending on how long you want to wait. Since fox is butt-tarded you can't service it yourself. Some air has gotten into the dampening oil. The dampening oil is kept under pressure by the internal floating piston, which has a 300-400 psi nitro charge behind it. There is air in the oil, or oil in the air of your damper, depending how you want to look at it. not that there is any indication of the shock taking a hit when I crashed. I did not remove high volume sleeve or replace can with low volume to test, but popped can open to take a look inside.Д¬rashed my brains out recently seems like timeframe of this starting roughly coincides, but not exactly. Same behavior at low pressures (can be experienced by hand with shock off bike) and at high pressures (as felt on bike). Internal volume spacer is in normal position. Quick check shows it is holding air, has Float fluid, seals appear normal. Obviously, it's not actually topping out because it is nowhere near the top of the stroke, but that's how it feels when it catches. So it almost feels like it tops out - like a clunk/thud as the initial rebound is 'caught' before the rest of the rebound stroke is damped. However, as it begins to rebound, the first 10mm or so of rebound stroke is undamped (or barely damped - hard to tell) - it pops back quickly in initial rebound and then almost feels like it tops out/catches, and the rest of the rebound stroke is damped as the shock continues back to sagged position. Shock is 2013 or 2012 Fox Float RP23 (not CTD) Kashima-Coat with high volume sleeve. Damping not functional for initial ~10 or ~15mm of rebound stroke.
