Is it really necessary to change the o-ring everytime you rebuild your shocks? Mine looks fine so I was wondering if its still necessary. Ever feel like the oil in the shocks are useless because of how much compression and rebound the springs have (compared to the shock shaft) especially the red ones?

I some what agree on that as well. Thicker shock wont bounce as much but if its too thin then it probably wont make a difference. I was so pissed off that I couldnt get one of my front shocks to compress correctly so I stayed up until 2:30am to find out the black pivot point top where the ball cups go in had a tiny crack in it due to the big accident I had a few days ago. I kept wondering why there was oil coming out from the top everytime I tighten it. I was like WTF happened to my shocks! SO pissed off I refuse to sleep. Thank god I found the problem.

Welcome to the Club! You'll be optimising everything shortly - I've just rebuilt the back end of my 705 for no particular reason except to be sure that everything is lubed and adjusted correctly. And it actually proved to be useful - I found out that my rear anti-roll bar wasn't moving freely enough in its ball socket - the ball part of the left handside was slightly bigger than that on the right 
- sorted that out now Tomorrow I'll be checking the front Black hands! Uh ho - here comes Girlfriend!!!

An african pilot flying for SAA is on final aproach at some airport he cant pronounce, while approaching the runway he suddenly remembers the landing gear and reallises that that may be the reason for the screaching from somewhere in the cockpit, but he doesn't know where... lands the plane and slams on the brakes and full flaps and the works, the plane just about sitting on the nose comes to a stop... he says to the copilot... "Sipho, you know, this is the shortest runway I have ever seen, but sheesh she's WIDE!!!"
