Ive spotted this video,

It shows the mechanic adding float fluid to the Air Chamber.

What will this achieve? Will it make it feel any different?

Thanks

Depends on the fork year, model and damping system etc

Fork is Fox 34, standard evolution model with 2014 internals.

15ml of float fluid in air chamber (5ml as standard) will give more support in the middle and end of the stroke, so will make them a little less prone to diving through the travel, as the spring system is quite linear in those

Thanks for the info Loco. Would you recommend doing it?

Depends if you feel your fork is too linear. How much sag do you run and do you use all the travel/bottom out?

How heavy are you?

Its a 5 minute job so you could always try it and tip the oil out if you dont like it.
