Bitubo shock

I raised the breather box with spacers (stack of washers?) to make room for the fittings.

The supplied bracket for the reservoir broke and I found the reservoir bouncing between wheel, swingarm and chain. It's now mounted to the frame with zip ties. Just a heads up.

One of BiTubo's 'specialities' is the rebound damping. On several models the rebound is almost stuck and the adjustment range goes from stuck to slooow instead of slow to fast. If your bike can't be adjusted to correct rebound - remove shock and return it for a rebuild.
