Own a Specialized Brain? Here’s What’s Inside | 2011 Rear Brain Service

▶ WATCH THE COMPLETE 2011 SPECIALIZED FOX BRAIN SERVICE + OVERHAUL:    • 2011 Specialized Stumpjumper FOX Brain Sho...   This is the rear Brain unit from a 2011 Specialized Stumpjumper — completely disassembled, inspected, serviced, and put back together. If you own an older Specialized Brain-equipped mountain bike, this is the part of the system that most riders never get to see inside. The Brain was designed to distinguish between rider-induced movement and impacts coming from the trail, using an inertia-valve system to control how the suspension responds. But after years of riding, contamination, degraded oil, worn seals, and internal issues can dramatically change how the system feels. In this video, we focus specifically on the rear Brain unit and show what is actually happening inside it. We cover: Specialized / FOX Brain rear unit disassembly Internal Brain components Inertia valve system Old oil and contamination Seal and component inspection Cleaning and preparation Rear Brain service and reassembly What owners of older Brain-equipped bikes should know This video is an abbreviated section from our complete 2011 Specialized Stumpjumper FOX Brain overhaul created for Brain Week at Full Suspension LLC. If your Brain feels harsh, inconsistent, stuck, overly firm, soft, or just doesn't feel like it used to, understanding what is happening inside the Brain unit is an important part of diagnosing the system. Older Specialized Brain suspension is complicated — but that doesn't mean it has to remain a mystery. Brain Week | Full Suspension LLC We’re documenting, servicing, and breaking down multiple generations of Specialized Brain suspension so riders, mechanics, and owners have a better technical resource for these increasingly difficult-to-support systems. Bring the ride back to life.
