How to adjust the DS200 suspension to suit your preferences.
The instructional guide goes through steps for the Extreme, however the same applies to all DS200 and DS210 except for the extrapolated relative sag for different rider weights.

Absolutely a game changer video!! Thanks for the work you put into it. It's much appreciated!!

@NemoEUC Ай бұрын

Thorough explanation 👍 Even though I won't ever buy a wheel with this type of suspension again, it's still interesting to see how it works.

@2cells1pack Ай бұрын

I think a lot of people didn't know how it operated, so thought best to make a video to explain it.

Hey Christine! Righty tighty, lefty loosey Exactly the same as every other screw, EXCEPT the left pedal on a bicycle ;-)

@2cells1pack Ай бұрын

Hhaha. yeah.

@solecycle Ай бұрын

No. Christine was right to ask for clarification. You can't rely on a rhyme for this. Spin direction depends on your perspective on the threads. That's why in this video, it's lefty tighty, righty loosey.

Excellent tutorial! Most peeps have a hard time on suspension setup unless they've experience on MTBs & on MC track riding. Besides the intended usage & terrain, a lot is also rider pref. They dont call suspension tuning voodoo for nuffin

@2cells1pack Ай бұрын

Yeah, I think that a lot of riders don't know how to adjust it - so think that it's garbage. But really, if you spend some time tuning - it can perform quite well.

Literally printed out the ewheels adjustment sheet. Going to tackle it tonight. Do you have a link to that type of pump?

Does the air chamber on this suspension kit require regular maintenance like other air shocks? Is the DS200 compatible with Inmotion V14? Thanks for this very informative video. Christine's perspective is also very appreciated for us new to this.

@2cells1pack Ай бұрын

The air chamber shouldn't require maintenance, unless the oil seals break. However at 100psi, the stress on the seals is fairly low. The only caveat, is if you run a spring that's way too soft, and then max out damping and go off a jump - it could blow out the seals.

For ‘right-handed threads’, it’s always “righty-tighty, lefty-loosey”… works in all dialects. 😊

@2cells1pack Ай бұрын

if you're referring to the preload it's true, however from user perspective it's kind of flipped since you're looking from the opposite direction.

@solecycle Ай бұрын

Righty and lefty only works with additional assumptions, which nobody ever includes with the rhyme. So, it's often misleading. If you're facing right-handed thread from the typical direction and the only place that your wrench will fit is pointing downward, then it's going to be Lefty-Tighty.

If i ride on the previous 1300lb spring with the chamber wide open, would i get better rebound on the ds200?

@2cells1pack Ай бұрын

yes.

2cells1pack would you say commander pro type of suspension might last longer then master shock... stilldebating feel lime my shock v2 is not has good has it used to be 😔

@2cells1pack Ай бұрын

I've heard good things about the ComPro v2 shocks. However, they're not rebuildable. The DS200 similar to the LeaperKim FastAce shocks are rebuildable if it leaks.

@solecycle Ай бұрын

I really appreciate your informative videos. But I wish you had made this one more informative. The manual suggests damper pressure between 50-100 psi. Are there pros/cons of filling the damper to the low or high side of that range? Do the knobs perform differently throughout that range? Like does 100 psi make the adjustments more coarse and 50 psi make them more fine? Are there any other performance impacts between 50 psi and 100 psi? Second note, you had tightened the preload for Albert's weight (although it wasn't quite enough). Why wouldn't you reduce that preload for Christine before concluding that she would need a softer spring? I could be wrong but she would only need a softer spring if there still wasn't enough sag after reducing the preload to the minimum of what's needed for full extension when unloaded.

@2cells1pack Ай бұрын

In the initial set up - the spring wasn't tight and there was some slop. This caused the suspension to not move fully upwards. I only adjusted the preload enough to make the suspension reach the top of motion. With the sag that I experienced, there's no amount of preload (as it's more of a fine adjustment) that will make the suspension good for me. I like 20-25% sag. With Christine, the preload can't be adjusted any less - and she only compressed

@solecycle Ай бұрын

@@2cells1pack That makes more sense about the spring. I didn't quite catch that detail in the video. Thanks. So it sounds like you're saying the range from 50-100 psi doesn't act as any sort of adjustment. I figured there would be some difference between low and high. But fine if not. I mostly wanted to know if it's another thing to play with to refine the shock. Thanks again

@2cells1pack Ай бұрын

It makes a small difference. At 100psi, I found that the damping would have more consistent actuation.

@HansenLin-ou8dw Ай бұрын

I noticed the air chamber is really close to the kickstand. Is that a problem?

@2cells1pack Ай бұрын

Nope, on compression, it goes further away

Amazing video and very helpful for the community. Begode call the extreme a 130mm travel -5mm at lower pedal for the ruber o ring -10mm at the top for the 2 rubber o rings Giving you a final travel of about 120mm.? But the big question is. Can the factory linkage geometry actually support that 120mm of travel.? I dont have a extreme to test this. But from my extrapolation tests you cant get the 120mm of travel before the linkage bottom out the movement travel on the begode shocks have a super chunky top to help mitigate pin bending when the linkage bottoms out before the stanchion travel? Would be super keen to see this in play with the rear battery removed and the sping removed and air dumped from the shock. With some measurements.

@2cells1pack Ай бұрын

Yeah, its 130mm -5mm on top and -5mm on bottom. 120mm actual. When I tried to bottom out the shock by jumping on it, it looked like it was pretty close to bottomed out on the stanchions.

@KevinRedmondWA Ай бұрын

Begode DS200 huh? Let me guess, in 2 weeks the DS201 will come out, followed by the DS201 GT, then the DS300 GT PRO and finaly the DS300 GT PRO MINI. Then by end of the month, there will be a ES200. Followed by V2 of everything, then V3 of everything, all within 3 months. lol

LOL. Okay.

Tell me you don't like progress, without telling me you don't like progress.

@-renoboarder-4820 Ай бұрын

Progress yes….nickel and diming without doing proper research and development, no. My air shock started leaking in three months, alienrides would not warranty it. I spent $200 to get the upgraded shock, 900 too soft, 1300 too stiff. I tried both suspension holes on both springs. I’m aware of how to adjust suspension. So now if I want suspension, that is actually adequate, I get to spend another $300 for the new shock. Spending $500 more for something that should’ve been warranted in the first place does not leave a good taste in my mouth. Begode should send these shocks out for free to anyone who bought the first batch or second batch.

Unfortunately with life, it takes a couple failures before success. No one hits it out of the gate perfect.
