Re: charging shocks I sent an email to Bel-Ray oil. Here's what I got back. Jeff, Thanks for writing in. Bel-Ray HVI Racing Suspension Fluid is high viscosity index synthetic fluid specifically formulated for rear shocks. We recommend Bel-Ray HVI Racing Suspension Fluid 10W for the Fox Air Shocks. Regards, SirTech |

Re: charging shocks My set up is just like that except I have a shut off valve after the regulator. Cannot remember what that fitting for the schraeder valve is called but is is worth the $30.00. No air loss at all. |

Set the pressure on the regulator. Screw the valve on and open the No-Loss-Chuck. The shock will fill, then close the chuck. Remove the chuck from the shock, with no pressure loss. Slick! You can adjust several shocks and they'll all have the same setting. Mike suggested I buy 6 feet of hose, so I can set the bottle on the ground and still reach the shocks. Power Tank has one. POWERTANK - CO2 Air Systems FYI- I bought my gauges at the local welding shop for a little over a $100. |

Re: charging shocks I just went to a local gas (argon, oxygen, acetylene, nitrogen) supplier, bought a tank and regulator, found a hose and chuck that could handle 300PSI. The only air chuck I found was Dixon that showed 300PSI. I would like to add the gauge that mounts to the shock for a more accurate reading but this set up works good. Nitrogen refills are under $15. I use it for my tires too since nitrogen reacts less to heat than air. more constant tire pressures while racing. |

Hey all,
I am starting to tune the shocks a little. I have been setting my pressures at full droop. Is this the best way? I set pressure at low ride height and it just seem to get real stiff. Thanks CB  |
