Complete Shock or Air Sleeve Kits

Choose between Rockshox complete rebuild kits or just air-sleeve kits.  Before ~2015 these air-cans used the same seals but different glide-rings.  Post 2015 they became standardised.

We recommend 25 hour clean and re-lube for maximum performance.  50 hours is standard air sleeve service interval.
At Shockcraft we only use Slickoleum in air can service of these shocks.

Installation Notes
Clean all seal grooves thoroughly with a dry paper towel and lightly grease all static seals.  Smear a film of Slickoleum grease into the air-can.  Coat all sliding seal faces with Slickoleum grease. 
Slow the rebound fully and compress the shock to enable easier install of the air-can.
Bleeding is difficult, take your time.

Oil Notes:
Motorex 2.5wt is the quietest oil.
Shockcraft Hot Oil Green is a little thicker and little noisier.
Shockcraft Hot Oil Pink is the best in hot/cold but noisiest.

IFP Pressures:
Monarch Plus & RC3 - 300 psi
If IFP pressure is too low the shock will cavitate and knock on fast hits as well as ingest air via the main shaft seal.
If IFP pressure is too high you get extra preload force and extra seal friction.

Tools required:
Bleed kit with M5 fitting
Valve core tool
300 psi shock pump
