To our customers,
At Cane Creek, we strive to make best-in-class products that provide exceptional performance and rider experience. During the initial production of the DBinline rear shock, we did not live up to this promise. We have determined that certain DBinline shocks manufactured from May 23, 2014 through September 15, 2014 have graphics that incorrectly identify the adjustment directions for High Speed Rebound (HSR) damping. We are extremely sorry for the confusion this may have caused and have corrected this mistake.
HSR on the DBinline shock is decreased by turning the adjuster counter-clockwise and increased by turning it clockwise. The incorrect graphics direct the opposite; that is, the plus (+) and minus (–) symbols are transposed. Following these directions will cause unexpected behavior by a bike’s suspension and pose a fall hazard to a rider.
Shocks with incorrect HSR graphics can be identified as follows, note the position of the (+) and (-) symbols:
Affected product will contain a serial number within the following ranges:
AA00002 – AA07304
SA00077 – SA03926
Please note that, with corrected HSR graphics, these shocks are performing as intended. Customers should refer to page 18 of their Tuning Field Guide (available online at http://www.canecreek.com/resources/products/suspension/tfg_english.pdf) for correct adjustment instructions.
To remedy this issue, Cane Creek will provide a repair decal kit that indicates the correct adjustment direction.
