Well the bit about rebound was not added by me
, as I don't believe in using it as a setup, I believe in building shocks which work properly and are equal left to right. So I intend to get that amended on Tuesday when I am back in the shop.
What it should say, is start to screw the cap on so it finds the threads on the body, then tip the shock 45degree so the bleed hole is held high, then push the shaft in to 2mm away from fully in. Then while holding the shaft still so pressure is released through the hole, tighten the shock by turning the body, not the cap.
There should be no pressure in the shock, if you can't push the shaft right in without feeling pressure then loosen and retighten the cap.
When done, when you push the shaft in it will come out slowly by about 2-3mm. When pulled out it should pull the shaft back in by 2-3mm.
If you were to do like the tips suggest, and tighten the cap with fully extended, the shock would end up almost locked solid with pressure. Having pressure in the shock is bad, it'll blow out the seals if put on the track.
Anybody need anything clarrifying then do please speak up.
