or
is my sag not set correctly and the shock has too much potential for over extension?
Any tips or others have this problem? Thanks!
i had the same problem heres what you do.THIS WILL WORK. first set your droop measure 96mm for front shocks and 106mm for rear measure from top shock mount screw to bottom arm set screw. REAM the hole in the piston out so your screw can turn easily through the piston to the shock shaft.what happens is the screw is tight to the piston and that the piston turns it back out as it goes up and down. blue lock tight works just make shure you put it in the shaft and not the screw or it will come off when you tighten it down.
hope this helps.IT WORKED FOR ME
