2020 Fox Float DPS Performance Series FULL service guide for beginners. Damper, Air can, Dials/knobs

This is a full service video for a 2020 FOX Float DPS Performance Series rear shock. We will be performing the 50 hour air can, and the 125 - 200 hour damper services along with servicing the Eyelet which includes teh control/dials/knobs (whatever you like to call them)

This service isn't particularly difficult, I'm confident you can do it, but there are some details that I go over that you should be aware of. One thing that I do know is that once you get used to it, you'll want to freshen up your shock at least once a year.

As always, please leave questions in the comment section and I will respond to them first chance I get

Needles for IFP air fill:
The following needles work good. I prefer option 1 as it's smaller and easier to handle

Needle tip
The below needle has worked very well for me. It’s a bit shorter than a typical needle, but it seems stronger overall.
