Helllllo,
I have to problems with my shocks.
1. When I tighten the bottom caps past finger tight, it feels like its binding, or theres thick oil in the shocks (even if its empty with the top cap off). The only thing that stop this, is by only having 3 o-rings in the bottom of the shock instead of 4, but I'm sure it would leak.
2. I don't know if it has to do with putting fork/shock oil (sae 20) from canadian tire in them, but if I don't touch the shocks for 10-20 minutes and compress them, they feel like there sticking in that spot until I give it enough force to move. Once they have moved though, they work like normal. Could the oil be plugging the pistons? Thats the only guess I have.
