rear shock

ncfz6 · 02-16-2008, 01:01 PM

I have a dumb question. I've got a Roketa DB36 with the air cell rear shock. Can anybody tell me how much air pressure is supposed to be in these shocks? All help is appreciated.

Hmmm never knew that any of these bikes have an air shock. Can you post a photo?

First I have heard of one on a china bike, but other I have seen have been in the 5-15psi range. I would start with 5-10psi and go from there.

Guess I should explain a little better. It has a reservoir with a stem in it to add air like the Jap bikes have to add nitrogen. I know they run high pressures in thiers but don't know on a China bike. Thanks for the help.

All shocks are different. Rule of thumb, 5 PSI till its right or you blow it up , whichever comes first.
Obviuosly you could check whats in there with a handy dandy air pressure guage first and go up ( blow up ) from there .
