Cane Creek DB Inline Air Can & Bladder Wrench 2023+
This two-sided wrench is designed specifically for Cane Creek DB Inline Air shocks, covering Gen 1 & Gen 2 (2014–2022) and the newer 2023+ version with teeth all around the can. These shocks use a pressurized bladder instead of an IFP and have no piggyback reservoir.
Important Compatibility Info
- Works only for Cane Creek DB Inline Air 2014–2022 and the newer 2023+
- Not compatible with Double Barrel piggyback models (DB Coil, DB Air CS, Kitsuma, etc.)
- Bladder wrench compatibility with the new DB Inline 2023+ is still being verified
What It Does
This wrench has two working ends: one for the air can and one for the bladder cap. The profile is designed for maximum tooth engagement to prevent slipping and housing damage.
It allows you to cleanly unthread both components during service without marking the shock body or threads.
Usage Tips
- On older versions, engage as many teeth as possible
- Press the wrench in perfectly straight until fully seated
- Use a luggage scale + torque calculator for controlled tightening
Using the Bladder Wrench Safely
You must use a damper body clamp to hold the shock securely in a vise. This prevents body deformation and tool breakage.
The DB Inline body shape changed in 2023, clamp compatibility is still being confirmed for the newest version.
Color Note
Product photos may show a gray wrench. Production units are printed in black. Gray parts were used during material strength testing.
Safety & Disclaimer
This wrench is intended for home mechanics performing standard service. Misalignment or over-torquing can break the tool. Always use a proper damper body clamp and follow torque guidelines. By using this tool, you agree to our terms and conditions.
