Double Barrel Coil Over.
Set-up and Adjustments:
The first thing you will notice when getting on your bike
will be how soft the suspension feels. Don’t worry, that is how it is supposed to feel. Suspension is intended to move easily
with as little friction as possible. The damping
controls of the Double Barrel can handle the big hits even though it feels
very soft in the parking lot. Try it and
see.
When starting out on the Double Barrel for the first time,
use the recommended adjustment settings listed below.
Find a familiar section of trail you can ride repeatedly
as you make incremental adjustments to the shock. Never make more than one adjustment at a time and only use small
increments. The adjusters on the Double Barrel are
very sensitive. Even small steps can have a big effect.
Tuning Order:
1. Make the necessary spring adjustments to achieve the
proper sag setting for your shock.
2. Adjust the High Speed Rebound Damping
3. Adjust the High Speed Compression Damping
4. Adjust the Low Speed Damping settings

Inspection and
Maintenance:
The DB-1 shock is designed for
durability, though, some simple maintenance steps can insure long life
and
smooth function.
1. Use compressed air to blow away all
debris.
2. The shock can be cleaned with a mild
detergent.
3. Recommended periodic maintenance is
every 100 hours of use. This involves checking the reservoir
pressure, inspecting seals, inspecting
bushings and possibly changing the damper oil. This inspection
should only be performed by a certified
Cane Creek technician.
HSC has the appropriate seal kits
and parts to perform the necessary service.
