Default Shock rebound

Hi chaps,

Can anyone tell me when rebound should or should not be used and more importantly how to achieve it with Schumacher big bore shocks?

I only seem to be able to get pretty much maximum rebound.*

Is there a trick I am missing?

Cheers

Adz

When you assemble to he shock, the amount of shock shaft protruding when you fit the bladder and shock top will affect rebound. I have been screwing top on with the shaft half way in.

As for when and how, I don't know.

i fill shock up with oil, shaft fully extended put bladder ontop push shaft all way up till touches bladder the pull shaft down with finger in bladder to stop it clapsing in when u pull down. screw on top half way pust shaft all way to top the tighten fully should get alittle oil/air out top ( this does sound abit homo erotic talking about shafts )

most of the team drivers cut the bladers out . it makes filling the shocks equal a lot les work and helps the handeling of the car aswell .
