As a bike mechanic who works at a Yeti dealer, that is 100% yetis XC bike, SB130 would make more sense for what your saying you want to ride
-
I spy a really cool box @6:55 š Let us know what you'd like to experiment with next! -Mik

"ride less, work more" had me litteraly LMAOing!!!!

Nothing seemed wrong with that shock to me and Iāve rebuilt plenty. When you add air you need to cycle the shock 5-10 times, this equalizes the pressure in the positive and negative chamber. Then check the pressure (it will have dropped) and you repeat 2-3 times. You really need to look into a longer travel, bike 130-140 probably. The 115 is a great xc bike but thatās definitely itās limit.

There is nothing wrong with the shock. They all trap air when you install the can. The blue bands on the negative side are negative volume spacers just like the positive, but they kill the sag. Removing the blue bands will make the bike way more supple off the top and you will need to increase your PSI. This will give you more mid stroke support and you can reduce the size of your positive volume spacer. The smaller the spacer you can get away with the better the suspension will feel.

Yes, so excited when Evan uploads
-
This is an all in Yeti XC bike, itās not intended for that type of usage. If you were planning on riding black trails and doing jumps at least a mid travel bike would of made more sense. Also very expensive shocks do fail more often thank you think, also air in the negative air chamber isnāt a blown shock.
-
Be careful with cutting carbon bars. Use protections as it can be very unhealthy to breathe in the dust.
-
I feel like a point youāre trying to make an xc/ light trail bike feel like a all mountain bike like the sb130 which is just going to have a limit
-
Thanks for constant uploads despite being hurt. You work hard evan especially the way you carry the tripod around the top tube
-
Installing the can on the shock is supposed to be tough and give you resistance. It's just trapping air.
-
2:09 Yay! I made the video! š¤£ I'm really glad the spacer did some work. All in all, a fairly easy way to adjust the ride profile. š

Evan, don't add too much blue float fluid into the shock. Only a few drops and that's it. The float fluid eventually migrates to the negative chamber via the dimple port. Eventually, you will have very small negative volume chamber and the shock will feel very harsh.
-
That chain is a bit short. The clutch on the axs mech will not last long like that. Great vid, keep up the good work!
-
Putting the ads in the montages is actually genius.
-
I always love the 80's straight-to-VHS action movie music you use.
-
Love your videos. So entertaining.
-
i dont get excited much for new videos these days on any channel as its alot of the same old boring crap, however evan, something about your videos get me pumped an ready to watch.
-
Man this video was awesome. I see arrogant Chad is gone and now Evan is just low key flexing with the new stem and handlebars. I love that! OneUp handlebars are my go to bars!
