Glad I found your channel. POV footage is excellent. I've been wearing Vans since the 70s and run the Vans grips as well!

I got this coil a few weeks back and I’m probably never going back to air again 😅

Seem you gain speed by being more confident. I also want to upgrade my air shock and you convinced me

@GabeGarcia 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah I did feel a bit more confident on this coil shock. Haha so sick, it’s worth trying out 🤙💯

Very nice video! Just ordered one yesterday, can't wait to try it... I sincerly hope I chose the right spring, I used the TF Tuned spring caclulator which is supposed to be pretty good... we'll see.

Thank you!! Yeah those calculators seem to be pretty spot on if you type in the correct info🤘 cheers man! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do 💯🙌

Novice here, is it easy to swop out an air for a coil,

Great riding, that trail looks like so much fun. When you flipped the switch did you feel the difference or was it the coil change enough?

@GabeGarcia 2 жыл бұрын

Appreciate it 💯 I think it was a little of both but more of the coil change. The coil was doing a good job at making me feel more stable on the way down 🤘🤘

Recently tried the bomber CR and I agree, it's nice! I prefer it over all the fox shock and it a little better then the super deluxe

Looks like you've dropped that on a clash, is it 230 x65, straight swop out

@ArmaniFlyHigh 2 жыл бұрын

yeah, is the way to go in your case....try also a progresive spring...once you go coil!!! got my self a elevin-six and fox float X2 (2pos adj)..

@GabeGarcia 2 жыл бұрын

Definitely might try a progressive spring down the road, head good things about them 🙌

@mtbbiker6401 Жыл бұрын

@@GabeGarcia I would look at Sprindex springs. They have an adjustable spring rate and are slightly progressive. I'm considering purchasing a CR with a Sprindex as my coil option.

Thinking about dropping one on my slash and i would if the 230 eye to eye shocks werent all out if stock right now Not a fan of my enduro bike having a deluxe select plus I upgraded the fork to a lyric ultimate (damper upgrade if i got a new fork i would have gone zeb) and put the gx axs i had on my last bike on it but i just wanna get rid of the ugly and not to great feeling deluxe select plus

@GabeGarcia Жыл бұрын

I was on the same boat as you, I wasn’t a fan of my rear shock so I pulled the trigger on this coil and I’ve been in love ever since! 💯🙌

@mtbbiker6401 Жыл бұрын

Did you ever use the lockout on your air shock? It is missed on the CR when climbing?

@GabeGarcia Жыл бұрын

I never used to lockout my suspension when I had my air shock, I would always forget to open it back up at the top of the mountain lol. So having this coil shock without a lockout mechanism feels almost identical to climbing up a mountain with an open air shock, which isn’t that bad in my opinion. Hope that helps🤙🤙

Hi, bro! How did you turn the 65mm shock absorber rod? The commentaries have a rotated mount. I have commencal meta am 29

@GabeGarcia 4 ай бұрын

I believe you turn the absorber rod by hand to get it to where you like it. Let me know if that answered your question 😁🙌

What do you weigh? Were you able to set your sag properly with that 450 spring?

@GabeGarcia Жыл бұрын

With all my riding gear I am about 180 to 190 pounds, and I was able to set the sag properly with this spring. I’ve heard really good things about progressive springs so I think down the road I’ll give one a try but for now I’m liking the 450 spring 🤟

@JeepinIvan_MTB Ай бұрын

What’s up Gabe, I ordered the shock for a clash as well. I’m trying to figure out what measurement and weight to go for this shock. I’m about 220lbs. You know which one I’d need from their site? Thanks !
