x-ray shocks, arrrrrgh

[whatevaman]

I just got my t1r for xmas and for the love of god I don't know if there is a possible way to get these shocks to not protrude when pushed in or suck in or contain air, even with bleeding. I think I am bleeding them right but I may be not, someone please help me out, thanx.

Sorry I don't know how to help your problem.

I have a T1R and have a couple of friends with T1 Evo2's.

This is what I find I must to do get the shocks air-free without pressure build up (e.g. when you compress it without a spring it pushes back out).

First I top it up with oil. Then I put the cap back on. Then I hold it upright for about a minute. This allows all the air bubbles to rise to the top. Now loosen the cap just a bit and compress the shock. A little oil might come out around the cap. Just wipe it off. With the shock still compressed tighten the cap. Don't let the plunger back down otherwise it will suck air in! That should do it. Shouldn't be any more pressure and no air bubbles cause they should have been pushed out.
