![]() This is more expensive though as you'll have this extra damper sitting around. Or, you can just buy the compression damper itself from a SRAM dealer and swap it out. Of course, you can buy a new SID with the RCT3 damper instead of the XX damper. If you don't want to use the Xloc remote, you'll have to buy another damper such as the RCT3 damper, which uses a crown mounted adjuster. So basically, you need the remote attached and bled properly to use the fork. If you remove the remote, or if it loses fluid (such as in a crash when the hose gets ripped off), the piston is fully extended and the damper has maximum low speed compression damping and significant high speed compression damping (the damper has a springy blowoff system). An internal spring pushes the piston out. When the piston is pushed in, the compression damper is "off", when the piston is pushed out, the compression damper is "on/damping". ![]() Wipe off any remaining oil from the remote and post and return the remote and post to the riders desired position.The Xloc is hydraulic: it simply pushes a piston inside the compression damper, like a hydraulic brake.Function test the system to ensure successful operation.Unthread the syringe and ensure there is a pool of oil in the bleed port.Press the syringe and allow the plunger to return on its own. Push on the syringe and feel the remote lever become solid. Unscrew the post or crown bleed screw and thread in a ½ full syringe. If the lever does then there may well be air still in the system.If the system has been correctly bled then the remote lever should be solid to the press and not extend when pulled.Unthread the syringe and replace the bleed screw. Give the remote syringe a final press and let the plunger pop back up on its own.This should dislodge any remaining air bubbles in the remote. Press down on the remote syringe to ensure the lever is fully extended and then push the lever whilst gently pulling on the syringe.Remove the crown or post syringe and thread in the bleed screw.Balance both syringes so they are ½ full.If the oil is severly discoloured you will need to remove the syringes, dispose of the old fluid and refill and repeat the process until the oil runs clear and free of air in both syringes. Continue until no more air bubbles emerge from the system. You will find pressing gently on one syringe whilst pulling gently on the other syringe achieves the best results. Cycle the oil between the two syringes.Remove the bleed screw on the remote and thread in the ¼ full syringe. ![]()
