Follow this tech tip to properly install pivot balls
into the top pivot and bottom ball joint.
Parts Needed:
• M3 x 16 SH screw
• M3 shim
Note that the composite parts have two sides,
noticeable around the pivot ball hole: one side
has a shiny finish, the other side has a regular
finish.
Install pivot balls into top pivot or
lower ball joint as shown, on the
proper sides.
Note that the lower pivot ball has
an extra shoulder.
Remove screw and shim.

After the shock is assembled you have to set the shock rebound.
➊
Release the shock cap by 2-3 turns.
➋
Push the shock shaft fully up. For the first time the extra oil will release through
the hole in the alu cap-nut.
➌
Tighten the shock cup. When tightening the shock cap, extra oil will again release
through the hole in the alu cap - nut. When tightening, the shock shaft will push
out from the shock body.
ShOCK LENGTh ADJuSTMENT:
It is VERY important that all shocks are equal length.
Fully extend the shock absorber and measure the end-to-end
length; we recommend using digital calipers to give an accurate
measurement. If a shock absorber is shorter or longer than
others, adjust the shock length by tightening or loosening the
ball joint on the shock rod.
Rebound Check
It is very important to push the shock shaft into the shock body slowly otherwise air can come into the
shock body which would create bubles.
100% rebound - do not do step 2 and 3
75% rebound - repeat step 2 and 3 until the shock shaft will push out 75% of its length
50% rebound - repeat step 2 and 3 until the shock shaft will push out 50% of its length
25% rebound - repeat step 2 and 3 until the shock shaft will push out 25% of its length
0%
rebound - repeat step 2 and 3 until the shock shaft will push out 0% of its length
If the shock shaft does not rebound enough, you will have to refill the shock with shock oil, and then
repeat the bleeding and rebound adjustment procedure.
