Using your RockShox Deluxe Ultimate RCT Rear Shock is a breeze. First, make sure it's properly installed on your 2017+ Giant Anthem B1. You can adjust the rebound damping, high - speed and low - speed compression damping, and lockout threshold according to your riding style and the trail conditions. To tune the air spring, use the two new air can options of the DebonAir+ air spring to find the best match for your bike. When riding, be aware that the castled bottom - out bumper helps reduce harsh impacts, but you still need to be careful on rough terrains. For maintenance, regularly check the shock for any signs of damage or leaks. Keep it clean and lubricated. The Maxima Plush damping fluid in it helps reduce friction and noise, but if you notice any issues with the damping performance, it might be time to have it serviced by a professional. Also, since it's e - bike approved, it can handle the extra power of an e - bike, but don't over - stress it beyond its limits.
