Bought a frame off the bay with the above rear shock, and at the moment I'm waiting to hear back off the seller about the issues I have with it, so the whole thing may have to go back, but....
Is it salvageable do you think? The rebound adjuster, the red circular dial, won't move at all. Have fiddled with the positioning of the blue lever but doesn't make a difference to the dial, still won't move. The valve cap was corroded on, had to be removed with pliers, so that's obviously not been off for a very long time. Now it is off, something very odd is happening when I try to add air, basically I wonder if it's actually holding air at all? It'll take it, then when I put the pump back on again, nothing is registering, it says zero again! (Pump is new)
There's a ding in the 'stantion' bit but I can't see that affecting it if it actually worked. And does that knurled collar do anything...? Don't want to start building up or taking apart for now until I know outcome off the seller.
One pic is from the net, as I haven't taken a pic of the whole shock yet :facepalm:
As an aside, if you've read this far, what's with the rust around the BB pivot bush/bearing? :?
