DVO Fork Shaft Punches
Helps knock the air shaft or damper shaft loose during lower leg service on DVO forks. Based on DVO manuals, you can usually strike the adjuster directly with a mallet, but these punches help when the shaft is recessed or hard to reach.
Whatβs Included
- Pair of 10 mm shaft punches, printed in a reinforced polymer
Experimental tool: not an official DVO product, but sized precisely for 10 mm shaft ends. Works well in our testing (see photos). Feedback is welcome for improvements.
When Itβs Useful
- When the shaft is recessed deep inside the lower legs (common on some DVO forks and taper-cast designs)
- When you prefer not to tap directly on the rebound adjuster or OTT knob, even though gentle mallet taps normally work fine
At 3:00 in this video, you can see how the damper and air shafts are struck into the lowers during service.
Not always needed: DVO techs normally tap the shaft adjusters directly with a soft mallet after loosening the foot nuts. The punches simply make alignment easier and safer in tight spots.
Compatibility
- All DVO forks with 10 mm shaft ends (Diamond, Beryl, Sapphire, older Onyx, etc.)
- Not required for the newer Onyx SL 38,Β that model has easier shaft access and no OTT
Photos + Demo
Weβve tested these punches on a mock 10 mm DVO shaft to verify alignment and clearance. Check the product photos for the full demonstration. If you capture real-world service photos, feel free to send them, weβll post them.
Disclaimer
This is not an officially licensed DVO tool. Use gently and only after fully loosening the foot nuts. Never strike the shaft aggressively. For the official procedure, refer to:
