How do I setup my Fox Factory 36 fork?

How do I setup my Fox Factory 36 fork?

Using your forks sag setting o-ring on the left upper tube (or temporarily install a zip tie to the upper tube), slide the o-ring (or zip tie) down against the fork dust wiper. Rotate the compression lever to the Open mode (fully counter-clockwise). If you have a 3-Position Remote fork, set the fork to Open mode.

How much air should I put in my Fox 36?

Do not exceed maximum air pressure: 36 FLOAT and Rhythm maximum air pressure is 120 psi. The rebound adjustment is dependent on the air pressure setting. For example, higher air pressures require slower rebound settings. Use your air pressure to find your rebound setting.

How do you adjust a Fox Talas?

Generally, sag should be set to 15 – 25% of total fork travel. Unscrew the center blue aircap in the middle of the TALAS lever (shown below) on top of the left fork leg to expose the Schrader valve….Setting Sag.

36 TALAS AIR SPRING SETTING guidelines
Rider Weight Air Pressure
215 – 230 lbs 83 psi
230 – 250 lbs. 90 psi

How does a Talas Fox air spring work?

Using the 36 TALAS Air Spring Settings tablebelow, pump your fork to the appropriate setting using the FOX High Pressure Pump, then remove the pump. Install a zip tie with light friction on the upper tube and push it down until it contacts the fork seal.

What’s the difference between 2015 float and Talas Forks?

The 2015 36 FLOAT uses an all new air spring system that can be adjusted down to lower travel settings in 10mm increments. To shorten travel you will need one Neg Plate Spacer (PN: 234-04-627) for each 10mm reduction in travel desired. 2015 36 FLOAT 170mm and 180mm forks can be reduced in travel down to 130mm.

What kind of rotor does a 2016 Talas Fork use?

If using a 203mm rotor, you will need to source the appropriate caliper spacer and bolts. Contact the brake manufacturer for further information. The 2015-2016 36 TALAS 180 (20QR chassis) uses 203mm Post Mounts that allow you to bolt your caliper directly to the fork and utilize a 203mm rotor. The 2015-2016 36 fork uses a true floating axle.

What should the air pressure be on a 2016 Talas Fork?

2016 36 FLOAT maximum air pressure is 125psi 2016 36 TALAS maximum air pressure is 200psi Depending on variables such as riding style, terrain, bike geometry, etc, you may find that you can only achieve proper sag and ride performance with up to 10psi over or under the recommended value in the suggested starting pressure chart below.
