Glad I watched this I havn't been soaking my o rings long enough and never knew the difference between x ring and o ring. Now I do.

Heck of a video brother! That makes so much more sense now! I'm going to start doing it that way! I was rebuilding my 8th scale shocks last week and damaged my rings doing it the original way and now I have to rebuild them!

I've always assembled the cartridge parts and them left the cap loose so as to not compres them, and fed the shaft down through ... but I think I'm gonna try this way next time around... I coat rings with green slime and then put a bit in the shock, insert an o ring, then a bit more around the inside of the shock body, spacer bushing, a bit more slime, 2nd o ring, and a bit of slime before the last hat bushing...then the cap loosely started on.... am I jist wasting slime by basically filing the cartridge with it so the space is all taken up by either parts of grease...? It's worked well so I've never really questioned it much... Bleeding shocks during the race day is something I need to do more, thanks for the reminder... Thanks again for all the videos and all u do, keep shining bro!

It's a safe way to not damage the x-rings.

Great tips, What is the purpose of these limiters? Are these limiters still needed in dusty outdoor areas?

Why is it you don't want any rebound? Is there certain situations that you do need rebound ?

If I am not mistaken x rings are silicon so silicon oil should not effect them I could be mistaken Great video anyway thanks

Silicone oil will cause the silicone o-rings and x-rings to swell.

Do The o or x rings not soaking up the lube and swell? What's the difference between the silikonoil oring lube and normal silicone oil? That one will swell the rings the other not?
@AdamDrake

The silicone lube or some of the greases on the market are to protect the o-ring from the silicone oil. The silicone oil will make the o-rings swell.

Do you re soak the o-rings everytime you replace shock oil? Or just replace orings after rebuilding the shocks?
@AdamDrake

No, just when rebuilding and putting in new o-rings.
