1. Giant Sr Suntour

The price will give you an indication of the fork quality. Most decent bikes are sold with Rock Shox, Manitou, or Marzocchi. Marzocchi has been making forks longer than anyone and has probably the best reputation, but they tend to be expensive so you won't find them on anything but expensive bikes.

I've looked everywhere on the net. Would anyone happen to know where I can obtain information or the user's guide for my SR Suntour XCP 75 fork? Title: SR SUNTOUR Catalogue 2K17, Author: SR Suntour Inc. IT RIDES LIKE A STANDARD 'MANUAL' BIKE ENHANCED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF A. 120 100 80 75 63 50 45. If you have a Suntour XCP-75 fork and you feel it. I've heard somewhere that stripping out all the SR Suntour's internals and replacing with a 50/50 mix of Oaxacan. 3x Gold at the UCI MTB World Champs 2015 in Vallnord, Andorra After the storm came the flood - SR Suntour WERX riders took three Gold and two Silver.

A 'hardtail' is a mountain bike that has a front suspension fork (like the one on the right) and no shock absorber in the back. Good hardtails are light, fast and responsive, and because of this they are good for climbing. Even the cheapest mountain bikes these days tend to have suspension forks. That's not necessarily a good thing, since most of the forks on cheap bikes are of poor quality and will probably need replacing before too long. The cheapest forks also tend to be sold only on new bikes, and not separately. Find out the make and model of the fork, and search around on the web for it.

If, all else fails go on ebay. Sep 25, 2010 . The front forks aren't adjustable, as you probably figured out. You can, however, get harder springs if the springs can be accessed at the top of the fork tube. If not, do what I did on my mountain bike. I bought a better pair of adjustable forks that I found on eBay.

Replacement forks can be found at very low prices during sales and clearance events, so they can be upgraded later (sometimes at a bargain price). A 'full suspension' bike has the front suspension fork and a rear suspension (like the bike on the right). These are highly recommended if you ride in a lot of rocks, as the rear suspension allows you to glide over rough terrain. They're also good for big jumps.

It will take a bit of investigation on your part regarding the dimensions of the forks, so you get the correct length and width where the forks fit onto the frame (and the overall desired fork length), but you'll be a lot happier with adjustables. Jun 14, 2009 .

I advise you to go to your local bike shop and inquire about a nos Suntour shift because they are not around. Go to a dealer who has been in business for at least 15-20 years and they should be able to help you. If, all else fails go on ebay. Sep 25, 2010 .

We got hold of a used SunTour XCR for this article, something like you’d find on a Specialized Hardrock, for example. Frankly, it felt and looked terrible but, with a little love, it performed surprisingly well, proving that this task is worthwhile.

The pitch is different will not match up for shifting. I advise you to go to your local bike shop and inquire about a nos Suntour shift because they are not around. Go to a dealer who has been in business for at least 15-20 years and they should be able to help you. If, all else fails go on ebay.

The rear shock adds some complexity to the bike, and a good bit more weight at any give price point, plus there'll be a bit more maintenance. Plus, you'll pay a few hundred dollars more than a hardtail for a bike of otherwise equal components. Depending on your terrain, it might be worth it; riding a hardtail in big rocks can be brutal.

Small parts are usually not worth it to the manufacturer to stock.

Refit the uppers into the lowers and tighten foot bolts. They do have a torque recommendation so make sure you dont over tighten them.the end of the shafts on my fork were plastic. Once this is done, cycle the fork though its travel to work the new grease around. You will probably have 'tide marks' (residual rings of grease) on the stanchions-these will attract dirt which will be easily ingested back into the fork so make sure you clean this region. Its an idea anyways to clean the stanchions/seals of dirt anyways as it easily works past them. Uh, probably missed something but it is midnight so yeah. They are only a coil/mcu set up.

Marzocchi has been making forks longer than anyone and has probably the best reputation, but they tend to be expensive so you won't find them on anything but expensive bikes. Rock Shox and Manitou make lower-end (but reasonably good) forks. Other reputable brands such as Fox and Suntour make forks that may very well provide a good service life, but are not as well known for mountain bike forks.

Heard too much good things about Marzocchi to not try one. =) Phil.As a 105 Marathon S owner, I'd say ifyou have the extra $100 it's money well spent. The HSVC damping cartridge in the marathon is a lot better than the SSV ones in the cheaper forks. It eats up high-speed stutter bumps much better. Oh yeah and the gold anodized top caps have got to be worth an extra $50 alone!

The Fox I've seen are plush, no doubt. But the Marathon goes beyond belief. About to upgrade my stock Suntour fork. That sucker weighs 5.5lbs!! I've narrowed my choices down to the 04 Marathon S 120 at $270, an 04/05 EXR Pro at $150 or an 04/05 MX Comp Air at $160. Not sure which one yet but leaning toward the MX Comp.

Its just a reflection of the budget nature of the fork. It will be greasy so use a mild degreaser/detergent to remove it. Rinse/dry after. Inspect the upper assembly for damage. Dont be suprised to see gouges/hectic rub marks on the uppers. If you can feel serious inconsistancies, consider buffing them back somewhat. Regrease (thin greases.enquire at your local bike shop as to grease 'suitable for forks) the shaft (the rod that protrudes out the end of the stanchions paying particular attention to the point of entry.) as well as greasing the stanchions and seals in the lowers.

Giant Sr Suntour

If you have a Suntour XCP-75 fork and you feel it too stif, here's the cure. If you remove the top caps on top of each leg, you'll note the spring/elastomer stack almost sticks out (arrives nearly to the border of the crown, just shy of 2-3 mm). When you place the cap back in it will compress the spring/elastomer stack nearly 15mm. So when a less than 170 lbs rider rides the fork it is too stiff due to the over-sprung fork. The cure to it is simple. Pull both legs stacks out and measure the threaded portion of the leg cap - some 15mm. Now cut off that measure from either one of the elastomers for each leg.

If your fork has mearly seized up, this is essentially the method I used to pull 'back in the day' of my old Suntour XCP-75s. From memory, the XCM sat a little below that so Im assuming there is no hydraulic damping of any sort. At most, I would expect the lockout but thats its own sealed cartridge. Its probably best to remove the fork from your bike to start with. Unbolt the footbolts so that you have around half the thread exposed (5 turns on each should do) With a rubber mallet/piece of wood and a hammer, hit the foot bolts.

The shafts are pressed into the lowers and need to be unseated by this method. Remove bolts completly and carefully slide off the lowers. Now, its at this point things get a little interesting. I know with my old Suntour XCP-75s here, I couldnt remove the spring assembly as I needed a specific tool to do that. Yours may be different but if the fork has just momentarily 'seized' due to induced water or whatever, a clean and a regrease should be enough. Start by cleaning the insides of the lowers. The first time I pulled my fork apart, I had alot of brown 'water' in there.so much I could have poured it out.
