Yeah, I'v done this like 5 times ^^
I thought there had been more rebound, only 1-2mm, do you run on carpet or dirt?

Thanks for helping!

  4. Once bubbles have dissapeared top the shock up with oil just above the top of the shock body.
  5. Screw on bleeder shock cap
  6. Slowly push the shaft up to the top so any excess oil comes out of the hole in the shock cap.
  7. Insert screw
  8. Now check the rebound the shock has by pumping the shaft up and down a few times. Push the shaft to the top and let go then see how far the shaft comes out. I normally run about 1 or 2 mm of rebound. Other people differ.
  9. If the shaft comes out too far, take the bleeder screw out and slowly push the shaft up to the top again.
  10. Repeat on the shock and they should be the same.
Any questions or queries please ask!!
