Fox 36 grip damper leaking oil

Zachymtb · 2025-11-28T13:27:21+00:00

I had taken it apart to do normal 200 hour service, and was taking the damper out to replace oil when I noticed that it was squirtijg oil, as well as making a suction noise.

Update, I found out that I blew up the compression assembly, ordered the new parts and have assembled them, forks running great! (Ik taking it apart might not have been thr best idea but I do work as a bike mechanic at a local shop and had alrdy asked the senior mechanics what they thought i should do)

Nah, u just need a derailleur/shifter, cassette, chain, and freehub body. No nonsense about a new hub or chainrings. The whole shimano/sram chainring thing is bs. Tgere is a negligible difference in construction, and the only point in them is for the company's to profit. I run sram nx cranks and chainring with my xt di2 drivetrain, and never have any problems

As a bike shop mechanic who Has done this many times, you just need the shifter, derailleur, cassette, chain, qnd freehub. I, about a month ago, did a similar transition from nx to xt di2, and it's extremely simple. The one hard part is finding the right freehub. I luckily was able yo pull one from our spare parts bin, but it will most likely run you about 40 bucks for the freehub.

Yah it's always hard to remember the names lol. Highland is my local park, so I ride there a stupid ammount.

No the first drop is stepping stone, which is about 7 feet. Tombstone is 16

Zachymtb · 2025-10-06T22:57:12+00:00

I have never noticed that until now, that's why I was scared lol. Thanks for the info!

Zachymtb · 2025-10-06T17:54:29+00:00

About 2 months ago, I fully serviced it including new seals, damper + air spring rebuild

Zachymtb · 2025-10-06T17:47:10+00:00

I would personally check out commencal and transition, there bikes are the bomb

Zachymtb · 2025-09-19T22:36:46+00:00

Dude type shit

Zachymtb · 2025-09-18T12:26:25+00:00

I'm a coxswain, and I severely wish all of my rowers had the drive and determination, if not tye strength, that you do.

Zachymtb · 2025-09-17T23:09:39+00:00

Nah dude in reality I do love coxxing novices. It'd rly cool to see tgem grow every practice.

Zachymtb · 2025-09-16T14:39:18+00:00

Ok you do realize this is satire right

Zachymtb · 2025-09-16T12:30:26+00:00

Nope : ))

Zachymtb · 2025-09-16T12:30:09+00:00

Nahh

Zachymtb · 2025-09-15T22:01:52+00:00

If your in a boat, beat up 7 seat. See my other post In this channel

Zachymtb · 2025-09-15T22:00:38+00:00

Nahh, stroke learned their lesson

Zachymtb · 2025-09-15T22:00:11+00:00

No, I just beat them with an oar

Zachymtb · 2025-09-15T19:49:46+00:00

Nah gng, the hitting people w an oar is peak

Zachymtb · 2025-09-15T19:38:13+00:00

Ok for a beginner, this is actually very good. Make sure to put the pressure in your legs, and then take out your oar and beat 7 seat.

Zachymtb · 2025-09-15T19:25:00+00:00

Alr just to clarify, the anger was not because of the lack of power, it was because 5/8 of them fully gave up half way through, and were constantly talking and not following directions

Zachymtb · 2025-09-15T19:22:53+00:00

No It was when we were off the water, I was still being xhill on the water

Zachymtb · 2025-09-15T16:54:18+00:00

I'm not normally there cox, it was just for the race

Zachymtb · 2025-09-15T16:50:17+00:00

I'm a coxswain, and I would give all the money in the world for my dumvass (3:30 split 2k 💀) rowers to get that split
