2.2. Assembly
dimensions
Before you mount the AiR-force SLR to your bike you have to check that the shock absorber
has enough room to work without collision with the frame or other parts of the bike in every state
of travel. The following draft shows the most important dimensions:
2.3. Assembly
bearings
The mounting area of the shock absorber should have a minimum width of 11 mm.
There are two types of bearings for your rear shock absorber: a) with standard-bushings b) with
radial joints (ball joints). These are especially recommendable if you have a single link rear
suspension system, because they compensate the movements coming from the bearing play of
the rear suspension what significantly prolongs the life of the shock absorber.
When using radial joints the usage of rubber joint rings is obligatory
.
When using standard
bushings these are optional.

Dimensions of the AiR-force SLR:
L = Assembly dimensions with 30 mm travel: 153 / 165 mm
L = Assembly dimensions with 40 mm travel: 165 / 170 mm
L = Assembly dimensions with 50 mm travel: 190 / 200 mm
