So, your beginner to mountain biking. You have an entry level bike with an entry level front suspension that seems slow or spongy in its compression and rebound. Here is a quick fix that will get your coil spring suspension fork working again in about 20 minutes. First off, let's talk about what's causing your fork compress and rebound slowly. Your coil spring fork has an inner leg extension that slides in and out of the outer leg sliders. The inner leg extension has a coil spring inside and is usually well greased. What happens is, over time, the grease leaks out of the extension and into the outer leg sliders. The grease makes its way into the thin gap between the extension and the outer leg. This causes friction and keeps the extension from sliding freely, thus causing slow and spongy compression and rebound. To fix this, remove the two screws behind the dropouts. This detaches the extension from the sliders and you should be able to pull them apart. Once you pull them apart, use a clean dry cloth or a rag to remove the grease from the inside of the sliders. Next, do the same with removing the grease from the outside of the stanchions. Reinsert the stanchions into the sliders and replace the screws behind the dropouts. Your fork won't be like new, but it will regain the compression and rebound needed for the trails. Don't forget to subscribe and check out our other videos for beginners.
