why is my rebult shock so soft?

<< < (2/2)

DoldGuy:
If ANY air is left in the shock during the service, Very Bad things can happen. Ex Local Pro rider did an oil change himself (brought it to the shop for Nitrogen) and went to the races that weekend. He did not get all of the air out & after about 10 laps the bladder cap was blown off from the air being heated up. It destroyed the shock, & luckily no one was hurt.

the wierd thing is when i talked to my friend(the dude that rebuilt it)he kind of got all edgie when i told him(very nicely) that the shock was having issues. he reluctenly agree to look at it again. kind of crazy

turtle22:
so we pulled the  shock apart, all looked good. we replaced the spring and it seems to be alot stiffer. i wil have to ride it but i hope that fixed my problem
