Service, Maintenance, and Cleaning
Cane Creek Double Barrel rear shocks are
designed for long-term durability, though some
simple maintenance steps can ensure long life
and smooth function. If you ride in extreme
weather conditions, the service intervals should
be more frequent.
Service should only be performed by a Cane Creek
Authorized Service Center. Visit www.canecreek.com
or call the Cane Creek Customer Service Team at
800-234-2725 to locate a service center near you.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Do not use compressed air to clean any
Double Barrel shock.
Do not use any solvents or de-greasers, as
these products can damage the shock’s
exterior finish or its anodized parts.
Do not spray water directly at any seal.
Never use a high-pressure washer
on your rear shock.
Before every ride
, check that the mounting hard-
ware is tight and ensure there is no play between
the mounting bushings and the mounting hardware.
If there is movement, you may need to replace your
shock bushings.
To replace shock bushings, a Cane Creek bush-
ing replacement tool kit (DBT024) is required.
This can also be performed by your bike dealer
or Cane Creek Authorized Service Center.
Using
a non-Cane Creek bushing replacement tool will
damage your shock.
