Or about mountain bike forks, oil forks or air forks

Air forks generally do not leak, but there is also a risk of air leakage, a leak fork is a tragedy, said that maintenance must be oil spring forks good maintenance.

Suntour's air fork model is epicon, and there are a few people around me who are using that fork Overall the evaluation is pretty good, at least quite worthy of that** I haven't seen anyone say anything wrong with that fork after using it for so long.

In general, if you usually like to take the car to make some big moves, it is better to use an oil spring fork, and if you like to pursue the feeling of off-road, it is better to use an air fork.

Actually, look at the life I recommend that you use an air fork, because the air fork is not a year as long as it is enough to pump up, at most to replace the damping oil, and the air fork can be inflated according to the weight, it is the best suspension effect, but the strength of the air fork is worse than the oil shortage, but the oil shortage is the heaviest fork XCR is actually a good fork **Cheap and the performance is good in the low-end fork, it is the choice of lightweight players, the air fork can be repaired if you are unlucky to buy an air leak, and it can generally be done in the car shop + a washer, The oil fork has a huge weakness is that it is heavy, and the spring has to be changed every year (according to the use rate), so it is maintained compared to the 800 fork of the suntour, which is good, and the recon 351 of the Kanbi RS!!

Good maintenance of air forks, buy oil springs at the same price.

I don't recommend Santo, I recommend rockshox.

What XCR is not recommended.

The air pressure is also divided into positive and negative gas, and I can't understand one or two sentences, and it is always the same as the first is to sell oil springs.

Expensive, air pressure can be considered.

Get the Divine Fork Suntour Epicon This price is right for you, and at this price point, there is no fork that can compare with the Divine Fork

At this price point, RockShox can only buy Tora or D3 Tora dead weight D3 is too low-end

As for what is the Divine Fork, go more.

Just turn around and you'll understand.

LS that person doesn't understand, don't talk nonsense, probably you don't know that Suntour has a fork

The low-end fork of the XCR is also taken out

The biggest advantage of an oil spring fork is that it is sensitive. Small shocks are quite sensitive, and linearity is good. The disadvantage is the weight, a spring is heavier than a ball of compressed air.

The structure of the air fork determines that it is not as sensitive as the oil spring fork, and the advantage is that it is low in weight. It can be adjusted to your weight, making it a must-have for lightweighting.

Mountain bikes are bicycles designed for off-road (hills, trails, wilderness, gravel trails, etc.) and were born in San Francisco on the West Coast of the United States in 1977.

The mountain climbing event is divided into three events: downhill and double corners. Much like the eponymous ski race, the former involves the riders sliding down a downhill track and then calculating the shortest time to complete the race.

In the latter, two riders descend at the same time on two parallel downhills, flying over dirt slopes in a zigzag pattern, with the first to arrive wins.

As for the cross-country race, as the name suggests, it is held in the wild in a natural environment, and the total length of the race is usually about 16 to 24 kilometers, of which no less than 1 4 tracks are unrepaired. The trick in all competitions is to stay on the right track and avoid taking the wrong path.

It mainly depends on individual needs. The oil spring fork is biased towards entertainment, while the air fork pursues high-speed passing performance and is biased towards competitiveness. For amateurs, oil spring forks are better, while for professionals, it's better to choose air forks.

The biggest advantage of an oil spring fork is that it is sensitive. Small shocks are quite sensitive, and linearity is good. The disadvantage is the weight, a spring is heavier than a ball of compressed air.

The structure of the air fork determines that it is not as sensitive as the oil spring fork, and the advantage is that it is low in weight. It can be adjusted to the weight at will, making it a must-have for lightweighting.

The structure of a mountain bike fork.

The fork can be roughly divided into three parts: the rebound system, the damping system, and the external fork body.

The rebound system does not refer to rebound damping, but a system that plays the role of support, compression and shock absorption. The rebound system mainly uses coil springs and gas pressure springs as the medium; The damping system provides a cushioning effect on compression and rebound, acting as a stabilizing and auxiliary effect.

The external fork body is mainly divided into two parts: the upper part is an assembly composed of a steerer tube, a fork shoulder and a travel tube (inner tube), and the shoulder fork and part of the shoulder can be broken down separately; The lower part is a bottom cylinder assembly composed of a bottom cylinder (outer cylinder), a fork bridge, a brake seat, and a fork foot (hub seat).

If you are traveling, the oil spring fork can be sensitive to small vibrations, and the hand will be very comfortable; If you play with a car, it is breathy, light, and has a very good shock absorption effect on mountain roads, making it the best choice for mountain cycling.

Personally, I think that a single-chamber air fork is not necessarily better than an oil spring fork, it depends on the thing.

An example of this is the air fork version of RockShox's XC32, which is not only as heavy as an oil reed fork, but also inferior to Rockshox's older Tora 302 oil reed fork. So it's not scientific to simply say who's better than whom

The air fork is lightweight, and the oil spring fork is suitable for more intense off-road riding, such as the FOX brand, except for the FOX40 downhill fork, all the rest use gas. Because the cylinder does not meet the requirements.

The sensitivity is much better than the air pressure. Too expensive.

Generally, according to the shock absorption effect, it can be locked and not locked.

In low-priced cars, generally speaking, weight is also a criterion for identifying the worst.

Oil spring fork: coil as the rebound medium, oil as the damping.

Features: The heaviest, but the strongest. The spring is relatively moist and sensitive to small vibrations, and the shock absorber oil is generally changed once every six months, and the fork is removed to change the oil.

Oil and gas fork: air (air) as the rebound medium, shock oil as the damping.

Features: Lighter than oil spring forks, but less strong. (It's not so low that it's enough.)

Once every six months, the car dealer will provide a special inflator for free, and you can buy it separately, with a barometer of about 200 yuan. The advantage of using air as a medium is that it is lighter and can protect the rider's wrist area in high-speed off-roading, but it is less responsive to small shocks.

How to tell if a mountain bike fork is an oil spring fork or a spring fork:

1. Observe the appearance of both.

The surface of the oil spring fork is sealed with a rubber ring to prevent the oil from leaking out of the fork.

Since the spring fork surface does not need to be sealed, the fork is only screwed down.

2. Distinguish the locking sound of the two.

The oil spring fork is very round and silent when it is locked.

The spring fork will make a "bang" sound when it locks up.

3. Check the structure of both.

The oil spring fork is mainly composed of two parts: the oil spring fork shock tube and the damping fork tube.

The spring fork does not have a separate damping tube, and the screws on both sides are the same.

Mountain bikes that <> hard forks are rare anymore, and now they are basically forks with shocks. There are several factories around the world that have good forks: Suntour, DDN, Rockshox, Marzocchi, Manitou, Fox.

Among them, the forks of the first four factories have a popular model fork of 1000 yuan, and the latter two are rare, and the ** is too high, even if the popular fork is close to 2000 yuan, it is difficult for new car lovers to bear, and it is difficult to play its role when you buy it, which is a waste.

The oil and gas fork is, one side is air, one side is oil pressure, air replaces the spring as the shock absorbing element, so that the shock absorption effect is more delicate, and you can adjust the softness and hardness of the shock absorption according to your own weight, and the oil pressure is to adjust the speed of locking or rebounding.

It's like the R7 front plug, with the oil chamber on one side and the air chamber on the other. The oil chamber generally controls the lockout function, and the air chamber can control the rebound

The quality of the fork is not as durable as D3.

It is recommended not to consider this, ** is relatively high!

The spring fork does not have a separate damping tube, and the screws on both sides are the same.

The oil fork is damped, that is, it rebounds slowly, the spring fork has no damping, and rebounds quickly, and the real mountain bike can't use the spring fork, the effect is too rubbish, and it doesn't matter if you ride it in the city.

If there is no shoulder lock, it must be a spring fork, if there is a shoulder lock, it is a spring fork that rotates 90 degrees to lock, and an oil spring fork that rotates 120 degrees to lock.
