Hi guys, New to this Forum so be gentle with me :D
Recently purchased a Retro ATX 900 Giant with the above shock fitted. But for the life of I cannot work out how to put air into it. The piggy back has a allen key screw with a o ring on it and I wondered if this is where an adapter/valve is supposed to be.
An ideas as I have contacted DNM and they have not got back to me after 2 weeks.
Thanks in advance
Chris

    there should be a valve on the end.

    Pics would be good so we can see what you actually have.

    the "bump" on the canister shoul be a valve or 90degree adaptor with a valve in it.

    pics of that bit?

    looks like someone broke something and plugged it with a bolt.

    there should be a 90 degree adapter and valve.

    you will need to source a new fitting.

    Thanks Nicklouise. I thought that was the case, but I'm new to rear suspension so wasn't sure.
    Thanks again for your time

    Just looking at your photos, does it make a difference if mine is the RAIMON and not the INFERNO as in your picture
