Popular Post M640x Posted July 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) After I received my wheel I did an inspection just to check it out. I noticed there were a couple more valves at the top of the suspension under the handle at the top of the wheel. These valves aren't listed in the user manual. After some research and one of Duf's youtube videos, I found out they are the "negative" suspension chamber valves. As far as how much air to put in them you'll have to do some research. I put approx. 40 psi in each one of mine. I'll have to see if that works after a couple of rides. Anyway, I wanted to pass info on how I filled mine and the process of getting to them. I found out right away that just reaching down under the handle wasn't going to work. I found another youtube video where someone disassembled a V11 and it showed the person removing the saddle covers. With the saddles off, there is plenty of room to access the valves. There is a total of 8 screws that have to be removed to remove the saddle covers. After the screws are removed the saddles slide right off of aluminum tracks. I've included some pics to help explain it. There are 4 screws at the top of the saddle, 2 in front, 2 in back. Remove them. The top of the saddle halves should now be loose at the top. Important info, don't use any of the included tools in the tool kit for this. A 1/8" hex fits these screws perfectly. Next, put the pedals down. There are 2 screws immediately above each one of the pedals approx. 2 to 3 inches up. A 3mm hex fits these. Remove the screws. The saddles should now be completely free and will slide up and off the wheel. You can now access the valves with plenty of room. Installation of everything is the reverse of the process I just outlined. It is a bit tedious, but it makes access to the valves much easier.

rexdelmolvo Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I just recently ordered my V11, is getting to these top valves something we'll have to do often? Sounds like a pain. Curious to hear back on your findings about proper top valve psi though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrelwood Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Inmotion has mentioned that the top chamber pressures should be checked once every few months at the most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
