Charger 2 & 2.1 + Air Shaft Rebuild Toolkit
This kit is for home mechanics servicing both the Charger 2 / 2.1 damper and the DebonAir air shaft. This includes tools and references for forks like Lyrik, Pike, and Yari between 2018β2022 that used these systems. Great for a full 200-hour service if your fork has some years on it.
Need Seals?
Damper Section: This damper uses a pressurized bladder instead of an IFP. Bleeding it properly is key. It also uses a flat clamping zone on the damper body, never clamp the shaft or round section directly!
Air Shaft Section: Very beginner friendly. DebonAir air shafts are easy to replace or service. Follow the service manual, clean everything properly, go light on grease, and double-check your travel before reassembly.
Whatβs Included in This Kit:
- 10mm shaft clamp for the air shaft (add at checkout only if you're opening the base valve)
- Your choosen Dust Wiper Seal Driver Tool
Youβll Also Need (Not Included):
- 24mm socket or cassette tool (depends on your fork model)
- Bleed syringe + hose adapter (RockShox part or brake bleed kit)
- SRAM Butter, 3wt oil (depending on damper and air spring)
- Dust wiper + air piston seals (included in most service kits)
If you're clamping any small shafts, always refer to the guide:
How to Use a Small Shaft Clamp
- Clamp the damper by its flats : page 66 of manual
- Use a bleed syringe to fill through the bleed port while squeezing the bladder tightly
- Donβt skip bleeding!Β if there's air, the LSC circuit will not work
- Do not clamp the damper shaft unless you're going into the base valve (use 10mm shaft clamp if needed)
Extra Info About the Damper Base Valve:
This damper is known to fail in the compression base valve. RockShox does not publish how to fix it, but itβs usually just an o-ring failure. Youβre not doing anything wrong.
