Reiger make the premier shock absorber for Modern Trials bikes, so let's have a look inside as Paul, from The Hell Team trials Workshop, dissects a Reiger Factory Damper for service.
You’re making fantastic videos of stuff that’s hard for us to get… thanks. I was disappointed that you didn’t show the detail of how you extract the spherical bearing - I’m sure you have a better approach than my ham-fisted effort…A good tip on the shock spring pre-load too.
Sorry Dave, that was my fault. I filmed the whole thing without checking the footage, and a few things I had just taken a still photo of instead of hitting the video button, but I had the shock stitched back together before I realised. I will do a separate and more in depth one on just changing the bushes and bearings shortly.
I recently purchased 2013 GasGas TXT 280 Raga with Reiger suspension. Unfortunately previous owners did nothing on suspension maintenance, and it is in a really bad condition (shock). Since I am in Serbia, it is very hard to get service kits - any chance you know where I can find some in Europe? Or even Oz? Otherwise I will need to switch to Ohlins ;)
