Rear Ohlins

I blew my rear shock a few months ago, and I just blew it again a week ago. Both times it has blown from the bleed hole at the top. I sent the shock back to derisi and he said he doesn't even use that hole anymore. Does anyone else have a problem liek this? I am ready to get a different shock. I didn't even case a double, or flat land any big table tops in the race. I think it blew going through the whoops.

lol. I am weigh more than you and have never blown the shocks. If this is on the same shock then you may just have a defective part.

Loctite on the screw and on the adjuster and everything else on the quads.

I think you got bad luck, im 180 and run my quad through **** and back mostly on the rear shock. So just keep on trying.
