Default Building the shocks

Anyone got any good tips?

I'm good at building most shocks, but with no bladders, bleed screws or even just a bleedline in the threads, I'm lost. I get either lots of rebound or lots of air, when all I want is a dead emulsion shock.

Help?

Fill it up, get the cap on, flip the shock upside down and losen the bottom shock cap a couple of turns, ptch. And now start the bleeding.
Hope this helps, Mikael

Aha! That helps. Weird it isn't mentioned in the manual, but I did spot the slot in the lower shock cup. And I also find it a bit weird that such good dampers don't come with a bleed screw in the cap...

Yokomo will be coming out with bleed screw caps for their bigbores soon...

Also, I green slime all the orings while building. These shocks are awesome and don't leak at all! The best I've tried...

Green slime is genious;-) I really like the quality of the shocks, the ones on my other Bmax that has been standing on the shelf for still feels great;-)
