Picked up and older but excellent condition Giant Reign for my son - was a seriously expensive bike in its day, so it has fully adjustable everything.
I stripped down the rear shock to get some rust kill on the spring - no issues there. But, I wanted to reset the rates to stock. Stupidly, I backed the rebound damping adjuster all the way out - it’s popped off whatever ratchet it was on in there, and the damping is now stuck at full. I can get the adjuster back in, but it’s not reengaging with whatever it’s supposed to.
Usually when I break shit, YouTube has the answer. Not this time! Any tips from the experts?!
Maybe have a look at this https://www.sram.com/globalassets/document-hierarchy/service-manuals/rockshox/rear-suspension/gen0000000004712-rev-a-vivid-service-manual-english.pdf
I suppose you may get more traction (ha!) with the MTB community, too. Haven’t seen a bike wrench one yet, but I learned a bit from them (am n00b, I’m basically too scared to service MTB suspension but hope to tear apart my dropper soon when I get the silly parts it needs).
Fiddly little things aren’t they?
Haha, yes indeed. Shock, horror: I’ve reached out to the MTB community on Reddit (yes, I felt dirty) to see if they can help. Failing that, off to the shop
r/MTB may not be of quite a much help as r/bikewrench so I would consider giving that a shot, too
Yep, r/bikewrench is better if c/MTB doesn’t help. Using r/MTB is only going to get you distracted with jumps
Nice, didn’t know about that one. Cheers
