The Float Air Volume Spacer Kit retails for only $25 USD, but it is one of the single biggest improvements to a bicycle I’ve ever made. Step Seven: Inflate your shock and test ride! Ride Impressions Otherwise, the negative pressure could be enough to slam the can into the shock head, tear out the threads, and damage your shock. Firmly hold the can while tightening until it is snug before releasing. Step Six: Supporting the weight of the rear suspension, gently ease the can up to the shock head, and turn it clockwise to tighten. Step Five: Push the spacer, washer, and o-ring up into the shock head. Step Four: Slip the spacer over the washer with the carved side facing down until it snaps into place. Remove the stock plastic white spacer if necessary. Slide the washer down the shaft as pictured. On some bikes there may already be an air-volume spacer in place. Step Three: Look under the head of the shock for a steel washer and O-ring. You don’t need to push it very far down to insert the spacer. Step Two: Unscrew the air can by firmly turning the canister clockwise and slide it midway down the shock body. Position the shock so that it is horizontal(ish) to the ground. Then gently cycle the shock and mount the bicycle securely to the stand. Step One: This the most important step for safety reasons! Release all the air from the canister by depressing the Schrader valve.

So how did my bicycle and I resolve our issues? How to Install the Spacer Kit When the rear shock was set up for my smooth bermy local trails, the jump oriented bike felt great, but over sharp stutter bumps or on big hits – the shock would bottom out harshly. The single pivot rear end just felt too linear. What I gradually came to understand as our relationship unfolded, is that we didn’t always see eye to eye on rear suspension performance. From the onset I knew that it wasn’t going to be the best climber but its playful nature suits my riding style perfectly. My best friend, a Transition Double, is a great bike. Once a frame finds it way into your garage and your heart and you’ve had time to develop a relationship with it, you begin to learn it’s little eccentricities. There’s a difference between visiting a bicycle at a shop, playing with it in the parking lot, and living with it. The volume change for the plastic spacers is.
The fox kit comes with three different spacers and a packet of float fluid.
