Fox Shox help!

what pressure are you guys running in your chambers?!? i just got a pare of used ones and when i put them on the bike it sagged like a freakin tt bike so i checked the air in the (i think) the large chamber was at like 35 psi.. so i bumped it up to 65 and it helped a little but it still seems like the bike just dives and rolls in the corners unlike my axis set-up on my other bike

i weigh about 170

(as you can tell the dirt on the front bumper from how bad it dove when i went up to a jump for the first time, is scrapped)

remember that when you check your air pressure, you drop the pressure a little. This is because the air chambers on all air shocks or very small. Better to get a little air compressor with a good gauge on it. Fill it to the desired pressure and then just hook it up and let them equal out.

Just a tip. I still need to adjust mine since the rebuild.

cheers

arent those long travel a-arms?

[quadracer85st]

are they built and setup for those arms? just asking because my pair, after switching from houser to jd perfromance required larger chambers and diff internals for them to work correctly with the diff arms. if not email fox. tell them your weight, type of arms, and bike and they will give you a setup starting point

You have to make sure you have the right length shock for the arms you are running.. Also are you checking the air pressure with the front end off the ground?? You must check them with the shocks at full droop as well as when you adjust the pressure.. You must have the front end off the ground when doing this or else you will get false readings on your pumps.

i'm thinking the shocks arent long enough but thats just me
