Storage of Shock Absorbers

Postby edgoose1 » Wed Feb 26, 2020 11:14 am

I have purchased some new old stock Shocks. Not going to use them just yet. Is there any preference to storage ? Upright or laying down, I think you are meant to pump them a couple of times before using ?

There is no recommended method of storing that I know of but as you say, hold the upright and pump a couple of times before fitting to remove any air bubbles.
