The fork should compress slightly. Being careful not to further compress the fork, dismount the bicycle. Measure the distance between the seal and the zip tie.
This distance is sag. Compare your sag measurement to the Sag Setup table below. If sag is lower than in the table , turn the preload knob shown below counter-clockwise one 1 full turn. Measure sag again and repeat adjustment if necessary. If sag is higher than in the table , turn the preload knob clockwise one 1 full turn. If correct sag cannot be achieved by adjusting the preload knob, see the Vanilla Coil Spring Setting Guidelines table below.
You may need to change to a coil spring with a different spring rate. Rebound controls the speed at which the fork extends after compressing.
Turning the knob clockwise slows down rebound; turning the knob counterclockwise speeds up rebound. As a starting point, turn the rebound adjuster knob all the way clockwise full in until it stops, then turn counterclockwise out 6 clicks. If you increase your spring rate or air pressure, you will need to slow down your rebound 6.
Factory setting Average Rebound 12 Fast Rebound Too fast and you will experience poor traction and wheel hop. If you decrease your spring rate or air pressure, you will need to speed up your rebound setting. Changing the Coil Spring With a 26mm 6-point socket wrench, loosen and remove the preload topcap top of left leg. Compress the fork slightly and remove the coil spring. You may need to firmly pull up on the spring to disengage it from the plunger shaft.
Rotate the fork to a horizontal position and shake it to move the oil inside the fork over the spring. This lubricates it before its first travel push. Measure and set sag. If you increase your spring rate or air pressure, you will need to slow down your rebound 6 Factory setting Average Rebound 12 Fast Rebound Too fast and you will experience poor traction and wheel hop.

There is a floating piston in the reservoir that separates the gas from the oil. This will keep all the gas in unless there is a leak around that piston.
Then you have bigger problems then we can deal with here. Mar 29, 1, 1 Vancouver, WA. The nitrogen is contained inside a bladder in the cylinder, unscrewing the cylinder from the shock body exposes the side of the bladder that the oil touches, not the nitrogen.
It is still contained in the bladder, making the aforementioned procedure completely safe. And no, fox doesn't sell any replacement parts that I know of. I've never seen a shop who's an authorized "fox repair shop" except for PUSH, who might sell you an o-ring if you ask really nicely. Jul 12, 2 0 Florida. Racebike Monkey. Jul 28, 4 Sweden. You cannot rebuild your shock in the manner described and make it work, and your shock even less so.
