Compatibility check

When installing another shock into the bike, you have to make sure
it is compatible with the frame. The most important point is to check
the specifications of the new shock.
It needs to have the following specifications:
Shock length:
Shock travel:
Shock hardware top and bottom:
If the specifications are identical, the shock can be installed into the
bike to check if there are any points of contact when riding the bike.
Points of contact could damage the bike severely, which in the worst
case could lead to a crack in the frame and / or a crash when riding
the bike.
Air shocks: Release all the air from the shock to compress it all the
way and check for any points of contact between the frame and the
shock. If there are any levers on the shock, please also check them
in every position for points of contact. If there is no contact between
shock and frame, it can be used without any doubt.
Coil shocks: To check the compatibility of shocks using a steel
spring (coil), remove the spring from the shock, but leave the disk
that supports the spring in the shock. Now you can compress the
shock as well and check for any points of contact moving the disk
250mm
75mm
25mm x 8mm (both sides)
up and down the piston rod. Also check for any contact points ad-
justment levers on the shocks could cause.

Compatible shocks

There are no restrictions on shocks that are approved to be used
with the Rage Carbon model. Air and Coil shocks are equally ap-
proved to be used. Nevertheless, you should still perform a test of
compatibility because changes of the shock by the manufacturer
are possible anytime.

Shock maintenance

Permanent excellent performance of the shock can only be guaran-
teed if it is serviced periodically. To ensure that you should keep a
few things in mind:
Clean the running surface of the shock after every ride, especially
in extremely dusty or muddy conditions. Lubricate the seal at the
piston rod according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Depending on the conditions but not less than every year, Propain
recommends doing a shock service at the manufacturer.
