What good will the tools be if you don't have a nitrogen bottle to fill the shocks up after rebuilding?
I think Joe likes to look at his tool(s) as much as he likes to handle them.
Funny you mention that, I just refilled my two "T" sized cylinders and it seems cost has gone up a bit for nitro. I have 2 sets of triple bypass coil overs to do and thought gas would still be the same as last year.
I'm sick of always having to handle everyone else's tools in various states of condition. Or trying to jam my tool in a place it doesn't belong to try to get something off.
I see what you did there.....
I wish I could justify buying some. It's a bit of a bummer having to send my King shocks over to the West Coast for a rebuild.
Airgas guys are here just about everyday it seems swapping out nitrogen tanks....
Being I have 2 rigs with them I go through quite a bit of gas and seals every year. I leave one set on while rebuilding the other off the jeeps. The motos dont require much air but the triples take gobs especially when I tune for single runs and swap.
Sounds like it'll be pretty convenient for them to swap out your tanks then. Besides, what self respecting at home bike mechanic doesn't have their own nitrogen tank?
When you blow as many shocks as you do, it's probably the financially sound decision anyway.
You got separate tanks for tuning, or just running Powertanks for airing up and shock rebuilds?
WTF? 
A small nitrogen tank and regulator shouldn't cost too much more than shipping the shocks back and forth to King. Shockseals.com for the parts, and two beers for the process, offroad shocks are stupid easy to work on, but when you open them up, prepare to be disappointed. Kings are hot garbage inside, bare aluminum, nothing deburred, straight caveman shit, even by MTB standards.
Well that would be interesting, as they claim hard ano for the reservoirs, and honing/cadmium plating for the shock body.
But I've never opened one up, so what do I know. Maybe some day I'll give it a go. Just have 2.5" remote reservoir smooth body and piggyback shocks on the truck, so nothing too crazy.
Something @Westy was kind enough to send me.WTF?
I'm sure the fact that an unmarked van has been parked on the street for several weeks is purely coincidence.
Looks like the right channel RCA jack got fuckered in shipment. Although the least of your problems at this point.
I was wondering about that.
I always have two "T" sized cylinders in the shop for nitro, my powertanks are all Co2/air just used for tools and tires. I will only bleed nitro on the trail, never had a need to add. Start high and bleed through the week then note pressures and trail conditions on my ios notes for future reference. I will typically run max pressure at the house then be bled down to best pressures by the first few hours on the trail. I dont like to use the bumps, they are a last resort in my book.
I have yet to work on any premium bypass, coilover or even remote set up that wasnt deburred, polished or finished to my liking. My radflo's were about the best finished set but still needed some die grinder action till I was happy. Ive made some pretty cool block cylinder hones to clean up new barrels. works great.
Yea but what did you read from a stranger's account on the internet? None of this first hand experience bullshit.
My best friends, ex girlfriend's, roommate, who used to babysit her cousins cat said, All shocks from the factory need moar shimz
Radflo, Fox, King....pffft. Whatever. FOA is where the burrs, dings and mismatched parts are to be found.

gorillas can't help me... wait.... maybe they could bend it
Snow in Colorado will be snowy:
well thats yer problem right there
Oh no shit? I better get to the liquor store!
i got an email blast from fedex that they are suspending freight shipments
I was thinking this too...Alternative angle grinder solution: use a flap wheel to clearance material off of the shock rez itself.
