| Video Discription | I found out that my SR Suntour fork couldn't go full travel and left a few inches unused. I had some trials and errors to find out what actually happened and reached the conclusion that the damper cartridge was blown. Somehow the internal valve controlling compression damping + lock-out seemed to fully close at that given travel. Although, I still had functional rebound damping for that given travel (3 inches approx.). So I talked to Pete and he suggested to drill 2 holes to relief the pressure in the compression side which also effectively by-pass the rebound circuit as well. I don't really mind if I have to ride a damp-less suspension, so I just went with it. After the modification, I noticed that the damper cartridge actually helped dampen the spring side to not to harshly rebound (e.g. when fork comeback to 0 mm travel) Also, the fork seems to be very active to small bumps than its previous state. One major modification I did what cutting the polymer spring support for 2.5" and it was a mistake. The fork would always bottom out by easy drop. Hence I bought a set of bed helical springs that I felt it had appropriate spring rate, and installed in parallel with the existing coil spring. The additional spring help so much at the last 30% travel before bottom out. Now I have been very happy with how the fork behaves which makes my bike a fun and poppy bike to ride. Great bike for wheelie and manualing around. eaR0WOTmaK8 |
