It's Maintenance Wednesday! 😅
So my Kind Shock LEV 150mm was sagging about 22mm when I was sitting down on it, and sending it to be serviced would've cost around 150 euros, so instead I tried to do this myself, following the guide in the MTBR forums. Make sure to read this for more detailed explanations that may answer questions that come up throughout the video!

Also make sure to wear some eye protection following this. There can be some pressure inside the cartridge, and getting some oil into your eyes is not the best thing that can happen to you!

I've actually tried this on my older 125mm as well, and for both posts the thing I'm still not entirely sure about is how far the inner shafts needs to be inserted before the cap is screwed back on. In the forum post it says to insert it "until the gold coated part is leveled with the top end of the inner tube". But I never was able to actually see how far the inner shaft has already gone into, so I just pushed the shaft it bit in, approximately until the second row of oil openings are inside, and then screwed on the cap.
And It seemed to have worked, twice. Although on my older 125mm the oil was shooting out of these holes while pushing in the shaft, and for my 150mm it was not. But both posts show no sign of the sagging issue anymore (granted, for the 125mm one it was only about 3mm to begin with).
