Do you service your Float every 8 - 30 hours like it says in the manual and how hard is it to do?

    do mine about every 3-4 months. its very simple to service the air sleave but the rebound part needs to be regased by someone with correct equipment if it needs it.
  • i wouldnt say i do it as often as i should, but i do it more often than most.

    mojo do a service kit for a tenner that has all the parts you need. if you intend on doing it often enough its worth looking into getting a bottle of 15wt suspension fluid that you can go back to. although the small tube provided in the kit is all you really need for one juice.

    mojo also have a video guide to doing the work yourself.

    its an easy enough job to do as long as you have the proper tools, air shocks need to be worked on in a clean(ish) environment, make sure you clean the outside of the shock before you open it up (so no crap can work its way in) make sure you use lint free rag (lint will do nasty things to your seals onces its floating around in the oil that seals the air can)

    and most of all. be patient. 8)
