Hi all. I bought a kona bear frame with a fox float rl rear shock, installed. So right now i only have the frame, the other components are on the way here. What i wanted to try out , that how this shock works. I tried to move it by pushing it (with my hand), but it does not responds. I tried both positions of the lockut handler, but still nothing. What i'm curious about should i be able to move the shock with my hand (I made hard pressure on it)? it was around the same pressure when i sit on my bike.
PS (the shoch was pumped up before the test).
This is my first bike with rear shock. So i'm a newbie in this field.
Problem solved. I put to much PSI into the shock so i was unable to push it with my hand. 🙂 "Vilhelm Zsolt" <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...

Theres no way you will be able to compress a rear air shock by hand.

I doubt it. Normally you shouldn't be able to move a shock by hand. Just wait and put it all together and then everything will be right in the world, grasshopper.
