[Closed] Charger 2 service kit ? (without airspring bits)

[#11353616]

anyone know if/where i can get just the bits for the damper?

my charger 2 damper needs a service. ie new seal head, split ring if it has one (don't know yet) etc.

i have a coil in the other side so clearly don't need the stuff for the air spring service.

so far i've only found a full 200hrs service kit which has it all. and cost 60 euros...

i want to give it a proper service rather than just a bleed as i bought 2nd hand and don't know the history, and the lock ou thas stopped working so i'm guessing that means seal head?

thanks

I just bought the 200hr kit and kept the spare bits (there isn't many spare bits tbh) for when the air spring needs fixing.

It's expensive, but my guess is that's because of the proprietary bits, like the damper seal head.

Make sure you get the right kit for the version of the air spring thats fitted though.

I think Bike24 have all the individual bits available separately.

If the lockouts not working its more than likely A bleed it needs

ok thanks, i was looking on bike 24, but maybe was expecting to find a charger kit. guess i'll rummage a bit more.

i guess i'll try a good clean, new oil and a bleed first tho, thanks andy

I have not seen a charger 2 kit.

You could buy charger seal heads as a separate part, might be worth checking the spare parts catalogue.

For a charger 2 the full service kit does not include all the seals/bladder, Rockshox just say to buy a new damper if some parts fail out of warranty. There are some videos on youtube of people replacing a compression adjuster o ring, WSS make bladders.

I got a 200 hr kit for a charger for €39 from alltricks. Worth a look on there.
