How to adjust a Fox 36 Grip 2, & WHY I have a black box on my fork!

Adjusting the Fox 36 Grip 2 damper can be a little overwhelming, between setting sag, high speed compression, low speed compression, high speed rebound, low speed rebound, and air volume tokens, there are 6 possible items to adjust. Let’s break it down where and how to set the fork up! Start with setting your sag. I’d recommend using Fox’s guide as a starting point, as I’ve found it to be pretty dang accurate. Feel free to play with sag a little, as Fox specs measurements for both 15 and 20%. Once you’ve got about that, then hit Fox’s recommended high and low speed rebound adjustments for your weight. Then, move to Fox’s general recommendation of 10 clicks out for high speed compression and 6 clicks out for low speed compression. Once you’ve got the rebound damping within your comfort, then move into the compression. I go for as little low speed compression as I can personally stand. While I do pump the bike A LOT, I also really need front wheel traction. I’d rather err on the side of too little low speed compression, and having maximum traction, than the opposite. Adjusting high speed compression means you’ll need to pay attention the bigger impacts- jump landings and jarring impacts. You want enough high speed compression to minimize bottoming out on jump landings, but not so much that you lose comfort when smashing into roots and rocks.
