I just got new dual-rates fronts for my mojave but there is 2 rings at the top of the shock by the threads but they are not threaded and I have no idea wht they are for?

 

The rings are there to stop spring compression of the top spring at a certain point. When the shocks are set up for your weight, riding type, and etc. they determine what springs to use and how far the top spring should compress. Then they select the ring or rings that will allow that amount of compression. when the top spring compresses to where the rings stop it then the compression is transfered to the larger lower spring, thus the dual rate.

 

Thanks a lot

 

I just went riding on them and they are annoying as hell they keep on clinking I don't think they do anything. My friend has a pair for his 300ex and they don't have any metal rings like mine.

 

They nevered bothered me on my Tecate. I had a set custom made by Works, tri-rate, and they have those rings you're talking about.

They are there to prevent the shock from bottoming out.

 

But are they suppose to clink all the time and bounce all over the place???
