TFTunedShox

What work is done on a full shock service?

Before any service work is carried out the shock is cleaned & hand dyno'd to check its operation. It's then stripped & all oil seals/o-rings are removed prior to cleaning the individual parts in a chemical bath. Once cleaned & dried the parts are inspected before fitting new Fox/PUSH seals/o-rings. Then we assemble everything in accordance with the factory/PUSH procedures, put oil in the important places & charge the shock with nitrogen. On air shox we pop the air can on with some Float Fluid & pump her up to match your weight/bike. Next we do a leak test for nitrogen (& air on air shox) before popping it on the hand dyno to check all the adjusters do what they're meant to do. Next we replace the shock bushes where necessary, install the mounting hardware/reducers (replacing any worn ones), pop a small TF Tuned sticker on it & send it back.

What's the difference between Pro-Pedal & PUSH Factory Tuning System?

As with any mass-produced products there's always room for improvement by use of better components and more customer-specific set-up. Apart from the high quality of all PUSH components, the function of the PUSH Factory Tuning System has a smoother transition from the 'Platform' to the bump absorption mode giving a lighter, more speed-sensitive, less indexed feel. The platform is also varied to suit specific bike designs & rider weight/style unlike the off-the-shelf Pro-Pedal. Finally, unlike the Pro-Pedal system, the low-speed rebound circuit can be changed to match individual needs without affecting the high-speed circuit. This allows increased low-speed rebound damping rates, which aids in controlling excessive movement, while at the same time allowing the shock to respond more quickly in high-speed situations.

Are there any shocks that can't be PUSH-ed?

Yes, due to damping limitations, we can’t PUSH the following shocks:

• Fox Float (with no adjustments)
• Fox Float L (lock-out only)
• Fox RPL
• New-style Fox Triad (2005 onwards)

What advantages can the PUSH system offer for RP3/23/Septune's?

As with any mass-produced products there's always room for improvement by use of better components and more customer-specific set-up. The main improvements of the PUSH RP3/Septune/RP23 system are...

1. Improved rebound - A new piston is fitted to increase flow during higher velocities allowing the shock to respond quicker in high-speed situations. The next aspect of the rebound tuning involves different shim configurations, and is based on spring rate/air pressure used and the specific bike, rider weight and style. Of course, the final tuning is put in the hands of you, the rider, with the red Rebound Adjuster.

2. As with all PUSH Factory Tuning Systems it has a smoother transition from the 'Platform' to the bump absorption mode giving a lighter, more speed-sensitive, less indexed feel. The platform is also varied to suit specific bike designs & rider weight/style.

Unfortunatly we cannot create a lockout feel, infact PUSH tuning usually has a softer Platform although we can make them pretty firm when requested.

What extras do I get from the PUSH Vanilla RC Race System?

In addition to the bike/rider-specific PUSH Factory Tuning System (as described above), we also replace the stock reservoir compression chip valve so that the external adjuster focuses more on the low-speed range instead of the entire range of the shock's movement. (This is what causes the tremendous harshness on high-speed hits of the standard RC.) By de-tuning the compression chip valve arrangement the blue compression adjuster controls the level of platform, but opens up under high-speed bump forces giving super-smooth control in all situations.

If my Float rear shock has a worn body can I still get it PUSH'ed?

Will I still have a lock-out on my PUSH-ed rear shock?

No, we replace the lock-out with a pedal platform which gives good, firm pedalling and great bump absorption when you need it. Plus you don’t have to turn the lock-out on and off whilst riding.
