Zongshen RX3: Suspension System

Today I removed the valve cap on the stock shock absorber. Underneath I found a standard schrader valve.

I measured the pressure in the shock with my tire gauge, and it read 67.5 psi. The specified press is 44 psi. Perhaps the high pressure contributed to the harsh ride I experienced with this shock absorber.

I lowered the pressure to the standard setting of 44 psi. If the shock is not performing properly for you, you might want to check the air pressure. However, the shock cartridge contains very little air, so it might not make much of a difference.
