13.25 Pro Action Street shocks info (DK CUSTOMS ORDERED)
So as i wait for my 13" pro action shocks (ordered from DK) to arrive, i was wondering if anyone else has them? I'm wondering what the FREE BLEED adjustment is? As i am keen on suspension adjustments after looking at the pro streets page. if any adjustments are needed it looks like you only adjust the right shocks free bleed and leave the left size? seems weird. I wanted the cheaper bitubos but i guess the 13" shocks are special order would have taken a month. im just wondering if the free bleed is like rebound? or like compression? or not like them at all.
Happy Friday.
Happy Friday.

for any one who care or looking for some rider info. I had the shock build per this information:
after talking with pro action. they have 40 click of free bleed it adjusts compression and rebound equally but is not a rebound or compression adjust. Which most people only use 3-6 clicks on the right shock only. if you wanted say like a half click, you would run 1 click on the left and say 4 on the right (4.5 kinda)... because 5 clicks on just the right felt too stiff and 3 was too soft so you get 1 on the left, 4 on the right.. simple explanation. after just a test ride to get the sag and travel set up. I have a pretty good base setting i have about 1/2 to 1/4 inch before bottom out (maybe a inch left hard to really till). so i could go softer on preload the get the 1/8" before bottom out. but being 240 lbs ill take the 1/4 and see if i can bottom it out. i took 2 turn of perload off the shock... they also suggested (proaction) i can try just one more turn on the right shocks preload. Right now its set one 1 on the left and 4 on the right. i might got the 3 clicks to see if that allow me to get thru all the travel. top pick is travel used. bottom pic is rider sag. i hit dips, train tracks, free way run. I did try to bottom them out. just i road over some stuff harder then normal. just to see. the shocks have a spherical bearing eyelet, which allow the shock to turn as to not create any binding. 13.25 inch shocks 3.5" travel.

Regardless of the shocks 13 inch shocks are the right size length. More ground cleance, travel. 12.5 could be a good compromise.
