I feel that they slowly pull in more air over time and cause a greater rebound. I have started "burping" my shocks every night before I race. I pull the bleeder screw off and push the shock up and then insert screw back in to remove some of the air.

Anyone else found this to be the case? I am not ripping on the shocks, they seem very smooth and work well, just concerns me about the amount of rebound they build up over time.

Thanks in advance for the help and thoughts.




Happens when the O-ring for the cap is worn out or cap not tight enough ...


Always used the Ae shock wench to tighten caps , hand tight not good enough..
