How to Install and Maintain Your Fox Float Rp2 Shock
The Fox Float Rp2 shock is a high-performance rear shock that offers adjustable air spring pressure, rebound damping, and ProPedal technology for optimal pedaling efficiency and bump absorption. The shock is designed for freeride, all-mountain, and cross-country riding styles. In this article, we will show you how to install and maintain your Fox Float Rp2 shock properly.
Installing Your Shock
If you are installing your shock on a bike for which the shock is not original equipment, follow these steps:
Install the shock on your bike according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Remove the main air chamber cap and let all the air out of the main air chamber.
Carefully cycle the suspension through its entire travel. Check that all parts of the shock are clear of the frame and swingarm as it cycles through the travel.
Pressurize your main air chamber to a minimum of 50 psi and no more than 300 psi. You will tune to a more specific air pressure in the Setting Sag section below.
Set sag according to your preference and riding style. See the Setting Sag section below for more details.
General Maintenance
To keep your shock in good condition, you should perform some basic maintenance regularly. Here are some tips:
There may be a small amount of air sleeve lubricant residue on the body. This is normal. If this residual air sleeve lubricant is not present, this is an indication that the air sleeve should be re-lubricated. See the Air Sleeve Maintenance section below for more details.
If you ride in extreme conditions, service your shock and air sleeve more frequently. Check the service intervals table in your shock manual for recommended service intervals.
Wash your shock with soap and water only. Do not use a high pressure washer or any solvents or degreasers to clean your shock. These products can damage the shock's exterior finish or its anodized parts.
Internal service should be performed by FOX Racing Shox or an Authorized Service Center. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify any internal parts of your shock.
Before You Ride
Before each ride, you should inspect your shock for any signs of damage or wear. You should also check some basic settings and adjustments. Here are some things to look for:
Clean the outside of your shock with mild soap and water and wipe dry with a soft dry rag. Do not spray water directly on the seal/shock body junction.
Inspect the entire exterior of your shock. The shock should not be used if any of the exterior parts appear to be damaged. Contact your local dealer or FOX Racing Shox for further inspection or repair.
Make sure that your quick-release levers (or thru-axle pinch bolts) are properly adjusted and tightened.
Check your headset adjustment. If loose, adjust it accordingly to your bicycle manufacturer's recommendations.
Check that all brake cables or hoses are properly fastened.
Test the proper operation of your front and rear brakes on level ground.
Setting Sag
Sag is the amount of shock compression when you sit on your bike in a normal riding position. Setting sag correctly will improve the performance and comfort of your suspension. To set sag on your Fox Float Rp2 shock, follow these steps:
Locate the O-ring on the shaft of your shock and push it against the seal head.
Sit on your bike in a normal riding position with all your riding gear on. Have someone help you balance if necessary.
Gently bounce on the saddle to activate the suspension.
Dismount carefully without further activating the suspension.
Measure and set sag by comparing your result to the sag setting shown in the Air Spring Setting Guidelines table below. The table shows recommended sag values for different shock travel lengths and riding styles.
