Fill the supplied syringe with a high quality lightweight grease. remove the plunger on the syringe and pack
it with the grease. Once the syringe is filled, press the end of the rubber line onto the grease port as shown.
Compress the syringe to force grease into the rail system.
rail system
Both the rail and block are made from proprietary carbon steel. the rail is then case hardened
to between 58 and 64rc. an armalloy surface treatment is applied to the rail and the block
for corrosion protection and wear resistance. the ball bearings are made from martensitic
stainless steel - which is equal to a 440 stainless. end scrapers, end seals, inner seals, and
side seals prevent contaminants from entering the system.
there is also a custom grease port on the end of the block. Grease should be applied with the
supplied applicator as needed based on riding conditions, weather and ride time. a good rule
of thumb is to grease the rail after each bike wash. after application the suspension needs to
be cycled 6-10 times to spread the grease evenly throughout the bearing raceways and ports
in the block.
overview
01. rail lubrication
after you have completed the initial lubrication, weight and unweight the bike to compress the shock and
actuate the rail system. if you see residual grease left on the rail after cycling the suspension you have
sufficiently lubricated the system. after lubrication it is extremely important to clean off any excess grease on
the rail before riding. if the rail is not completely clean the grease will attract more contaminants to the rail
system.
