I replace the trashed front shocks on a Trek 820 mountain bike. The RST 191 CS shocks were seized when I bought the bike. I took them apart and tried to repair them, but they were beyond repair. So I bought some new(used) SR Suntour M3030 shocks on ebay.These are threadless forks.

My dog and I owe you much thanks!!! My ex always worked on our bikes and refused to teach me anything, despite my repeated requests. When he moved out, he left my bike in pieces and with the wrong forks on it. My dog has been begging for a run, and now he'll get one! I can manage everything but the forks. I thought I'd need to take it to a bike shop, but with your help, I'm now ready to take my dog out. You rock!

I’m going to install an air fork on my son’s bike and replace the spring loaded fork. The guys at the bike shop didn’t want to do it. So now I have the courage to do it myself. Thanks!

Cheers for the video,thought I bought the wrong fork for my bike because I couldn't remove the crown just needed a bit more persuasion.

Hi. Yes I loved this video. Took old seized shocks from a Marin 1999 Enduro Bike and replaed with a fat bike fork, Loved your attention to detail and thanks for taking the TIME to show us each individual part both in removing and replacing, so helpful for a novice like me...

Thank you for the content. Tremendously useful and very well presented. The other day I was doing a change of brake handles and wondered why I knew what to do. Double checked your channel and saw I had watched your video on the specifics about a year back.

Thank you very much for your time to make these videos. You are my guy to watch so I can work on mine. I found an abandoned trek fuel 80 from 2003 on the side of the road and it was pretty chingered but it is now my favorite bike. I have a brand new Schwinn accent DP that I like a lot. But because my new trek, at least new to me, takes 26 inch tires. It is my favorite.

ive watched this several times getting ready to do this to one of my bikes. I bought one of those chopper forks and i am looking to put it on an older 90's bike for an ebike project ive been working on. Love the DIY stuff people put out. I myself have done alot of diy projects over the years from computers to bicycles. Anyways thanks for the informative video. :D
