Mr Greenfield
Specialized rear shock "Brain" rebuild with pictures & now forks too
Revised orings. Have swapped from polyurethane O-Ring on the bearing to damping rod position to a n70 quad ring. This should delay air pushing into oil chamber when IFP pressure drops below air can pressure, plus there is no need for an O-Ring of this rigidity in this position. I would suggest this was selected by our friends to minimise service life.
