Time Used: 3 Months
Comments: after thinking my new shock had developed a leak loss of psi i replaced the seal and found that it too appeared to be leaking but i found it was my error the negative chamber on this shock holds very little air so when you remove pump the amount of air that escapes is enough to bring your psi on neg side from 100 psi to 50 psi measure pressure again and i found that pump removal from the valve caused enough air loss to make it appear like shock was leaking but it was not. what i found was just removing pump will cause enough psi loss to make it appear as shock seal on neg side is leaking. to really test for a leak on neg side attach pump to neg side note psi and leave it until morning if psi is same no leak also try sitting on bike with pump attached. To really avoid so much loss in psi when filling neg side first remove air pressure from positive are chamber then fill your neg side to about 15 psi above where you want it then when you remove pump from valve the air loss will bring it down to about where you want psi to be. then refill your positive chamber.
Rating: 5
Recommendation: Yes I would recommend it to a friend
