    i have bought a mountain bike with full suspension but front one doesnot work, its coil spring suspension, can someone help me please?!

  3. TheMRamstaff says:

    @theeroom ping means it hit the head , either adjust the coil or pump the fork if its a air fork

  4. theeroom says:

    my front suspension makes a ping sound and stops when i put to much pressure on it.. is there any way to stop this or are they broken?

  7. rubypuppy7 says:

    so my bike is a plus and mius sighn which way do i turn it to make it rebound fast plus or minus?? do i want my suspension set soft or hard for lots of rebound because i can adjust both rebound and stifness

  8. yesgeorge333 says:

    are rst any good?

  9. retrokiwikromify says:

    but on air forks and shox you can adjust it to be extremely hard so there is no give on the up hill and flip a switch and it will be soft for the down hill

    i have a Schwinn ditch 3.0 and i want to get rid of the original spring in the rear suspension. instead i want to put in an air shock (sice its cheaper than nitrogen or oil) what shock do you recommend for less than 50$. also i would like to eliminate pedal bob during on road riding what should i do

  12. cuevarap says:

    New suspension forks need a “break in” period of around 20 riding hours after which they’ll feel less tight and notchy, smoother and reacting better to bumbs

  14. lolatmyage says:

    i have a hybrid.. and i dont give a fuck

  15. situazionauta says:

    never been riding on mountain trails, uh?

  16. moss1transcendant says:

    let air out or change the internal spring for a smaller one perhaps

  17. lolatmyage says:

    mine does really good on gravel without suspension

  18. charliepguitar says:

    Its all about the terrain that you are traversing. Although suspension does soak up pedal energy, a bike with no suspension is going to be much slower when it really gets bumpy.
    fo’ reals

  19. lolatmyage says:

    i dont see why people use shocks… they dont do much and they make ur bike slower

  20. bloodshot16 says:

  22. jakex4 says:

    I got a rockshox judy sl U turn its adjustble from 70 to 115mm its a real good fork but its quiet slow and it goes only like 4/7 of the fork but when a heavier gets on it it goes 7/8 and the respond of the fork (when it goes Up ) is a BIT slow how can i adjust my fork and make it bounce real smooth and fast?

  23. shandreez says:

    hehe.. kidding :P .. it must have some sort of setup thingies :) .. google it

  24. NeickoPow says:

    I got a GIANT rock as my first bike :)
    The suspensions arnt that great …
    i know you can adjust about if the sringyness on the top of the tub of the shocks…
    BUT it isnt as springy as that one ^^ is there another way of adjusting??

  25. MiloSkimmer says:

    My front suspention is rock hard and has no twisty thingy, how would i be able to make it springier?
