So i repeat, still 100% rebound, basically, the only way i'm able to reduce the amount of rebound is to remove oil.
For example, to get zero rebound i have to do the cap up with the oil 3-4mm below full but i then end up with lots of air inside & i can feel the air too ie, a few mm's of loose play with no damping.
I know the thread seals well even with the cap almost undone so i have to almost have the cap off in order to release oil.
I can't see how i can set these up without a) introducing air or b) having way too much rebound.
Any ideas appreciated  |

I have no problems getting zero rebound or 2-3 mm (which is what I like) the 22 shocks are very similar to ours. we don't have bleed hole but you can see in the thread that there is a groove, well thats it.
Have the shaft pulled all the way out and oil level with the top.
Do the cap up until you feel it touch the Oring and back off just slightly the oil will start to bleed as you get close to the bottom.
Push in the shockshaft slowly to the desired rebound point and let it bleed.
Keep the shaft at that point and slowly screw the cap on tight.
Done.
