SB55 overhaul
Finished up my overhaul last week on my 2017 SB55. Wanted to post the list and some links within this discussion for anyone to look back on. Frame + triangle apart (cleaned, greased, torqued using yeti manual)
Extra tools (if you need)
RWC Shock Needle Bearing Tool
Bearing Pro Tools (nice $ alternative)
Only a few rides and everything feels great. Few tweaks needed on the shifting but I'm happy. FWIW, not sure on the oval ring... I think it is due to fact that I was waiting on items to come in (COVID delays) and riding my road bike a good amount. So, I was not going from round to oval say in a weekend and testing back to back. I'd say I feel more of a "spinning" sensation right now.
I'm also not the "type" who can really tell you this and that (details) when it come to say small bump compliance. I went up on the Fox spacer from the .4 to the .86 and it seems to work better. Also, the RWC kit is top notch and the Fox DU stuff was old but it does seem smoother!
Cheers and hope this helps anyone still shreddin' the ol' SB55 :thumbsup:
