Hey guys,
So I've got a Pitch Pro frame coming in the mail as we speak (or type), and I've been doing some research on it before it gets here. i noticed that alot of Fox rear shocks have three little bars under the compression and rebound titles on the sticker. What are these all about? Is each shock valved a certain way from the factory? If so, can you change it?

Thanks for the help

Yes they are valved at the factory to provide a certain range of damping that the manufacturer has deemed preferable for their bike suspension. I assume thay can be chaged but that will require a shop with the appropriate tools parts and ability to do it. They use nitrogen in the damper and only a few shops will have the ability to reinflate the damper nitrogen chamber.

It's not easy to get the thing apart, and if you do you'd need the proper valve to replace it with. If you're looking for something in particular out of the shock, I would recommend sending it to a place like Push where they have the tools and skills to do the job right.
