The small revolution for the steel spring damper

Steel spring dampers have advantages over air dampers: due to their design, they have a lower breakaway torque and a more linear characteristic due to fewer seals - in other words, a steel spring damper literally soaks up bumps. But there are also disadvantages: In addition to the higher weight, coil shocks are more difficult to adjust. It is virtually impossible to tell how much total suspension travel the rear triangle releases and how much is negative travel. However, Reverse Components has now eliminated these disadvantages with a clever part.

Reverse Components already offered a measuring device for steel spring dampers in the form of the Travel and Sag Indicator. With the newly released version 2.0, it now doesn't matter whether the coil shock is equipped with or without a round or square reservoir. Thanks to the new mounting method with two spring plates, the reservoir no longer plays a role and nothing stands in the way of mounting the sag and travel meter.

The new design ensures that the indicator is closer to the spring and can therefore also be fitted to the steel spring damper hidden in the frame. In addition, the new installation method makes it easier to adjust the alignment of the telescopic scale and cover, which is achieved by attaching it with two spring plates. This means that nothing stands in the way of long-term use.
In Switzerland, the clever part is available via Wian Bike and Parts.
