Located in front of your left foot. All stomp gearboxes are ‘all up’. All the way down is neutral, then you lift the lever to go up through the gears

Rear Shock
Gas
Almost all stomp shocks are nitrogen filled ‘gas shocks’. They have a schrader valve connection to top them up with air (gas) using a high
pressure feed such as a shock pump (100-150PSI). DO NOT touch the schrader valve as the gas will escape instantly & you will no longer have
any rebound damping on your shock.
Pre-load
All stomp’s have adjustable pre-load on the rear shock. This allows you to adjust the static load on the shocks spring for your own body weight /
preference. If you look at the top of the shock you will see 2 large castellated nuts designed to be adjusted with a ‘C’ spanner. The lower nut
adjusts the preload by compressing the spring. The second nut is a locking nut which prevents the main adjusting nut from coming loose. If you
cak end is too soft, tighten the castellated nut a couple of turns, lock with the locking nut & re-test your bike. If you back end is too firm, do the
opposite & re-test your bike.
