SACH rear shock rebuild?

[spitfire123]

hi all....


im gonna have someone i know rebuild a shock for me as he is a shock builder.


when i took my mito (sach) shock to him he is having trouble finding out how to re-gas the shock as there is no nipple or gas tank to re-pressure it?

he says the only ones he does is the racebike OHLINS ones that have seporate gas nipple or tank?


does anyone know how these are pressured in the factory?

are they done in a pressured chamber?as that would be aquad.


for anyone who is a shockbuilder please let m eknow so i can help him out.


chers all

When I went to get my daytona shock rebuilt I was told that only remote reservoir shocks and certain others (I guess ones with a gas nipple) could be rebuilt. There are a great number of non rebuildable shocks out there...

It could be yours is simply not rebuildable?

On a mito i wouldnt expect it to be rebuildable.

The only ones i know of are Ohlins, i think some hagons and there are a few less known brands regularly used on track bikes i believe

AFAIK it's a basic non-serviceable unit.

Hagon do a basic replacement unit and Bitubo do a high quality fully adjustable one. An RGV250 or RS250 (Aprilia) shock will fit with minor machining to the upper mount and some shims on the lower mount.

Late model low mileage Mito shocks do appear on eBay often.

The people who offer a shock rebuilding service on Ebay are Brook Suspension, who are, in my opinion, expensive. Try K-Tech instead, they are cheaper and really know their stuff.

Hi

There are people around who can rebuild shocks that are not designed to be rebuildable. They can modify the shock body and weld on a connection to recharge the shock.

Try Revs Racing.

All the best
