when attending 2 day events or big races , replace seals before the event & oil each day.

Topping off is no good as the oil wears out with use .
If you gone though the trouble to tear down the shock replace the oil.
Thanks man

Avid.....The released the steel, tungston and ceramic. Nice. I liked the explanations on the product to explain what the different materials do. The price is pretty good as well. I have dealing with those tiny balls so much. Hopefully amain will get these.

I also put 4mm behind the hubs and its sloppy as hell. Are you using carbon arms? Because my slop is in the arms. I broke an arm, replaced it and it was tight like a virgin.

same ones from when i bought my kit in march... havent broke any arms lol

other thing that really helps is the plastic front brace, also cheap to replace.

its tighter tolerances, $2 to replace if it gets worn. allows brace to loosen up and not arms.
