2. Shim Stack
If you cannot obtain the desired level of bottom out resistance by modifying the position of the
adjuster dial, there is also a speed sensitive shim stack that can be reconfigured to increase or
decrease the damping force.
If you have wound the adjuster dial all the way out (anti-clockwise) and find there is still too
much bottom out resistance. Or if you have wound the adjuster dial all the way in (clockwise)
and find there is still not enough bottom out resistance - follow the below procedure:
SHIM STACK MODIFICATION
1. Remove Smashpot assembly from your
fork by working backwards through the
installation instructions.
2. Use a 22mm Cone Wrench on the
BOTTOM OUT CONE and a 12mm
Spanner on the FOOTSTUD to remove the
FOOTSTUD and shim stack assembly from
the rest of the OUTER TUBE ASSEMBLY.
3. Once removed, shims can be
repositioned to increase of decrease the
bottom out resistance. See Drawing 3
below.
To decrease bottom out resistance -
reposition one of the MAIN SHIMS to be
located in between the SPACER SHIM and
the CLAMP SHIM.
To increase bottom out resistance - add an
additional MAIN SHIM to the existing stack
of 5 MAIN SHIMS. 9mm ID x 16mm OD x
0.2mm thick
