Cane Creek DB Air / DB Air CS Air Can Seals

You should consider a service if you notice your shock losing air pressure over a ride, feeling 'sticky' or less responsive, or if you see oil weeping from the air can seals. If it has been over 50-100 hours of riding since your last service, these seals are a necessary preventative maintenance item.

This specific seal kit is designed for the standard DB Air and DB Air CS models. It is not compatible with coil-sprung versions or the DB Kitsuma series, so please verify your specific shock model before purchasing.

If you are comfortable with basic suspension maintenance and have the correct tools, such as a shock pump, pick set, and suspension-specific grease, you can perform this service yourself. However, if you are unfamiliar with internal suspension components or do not have the proper tools, we recommend having a certified suspension technician handle the installation to avoid damaging the shock.

No, this kit includes the replacement seals and o-rings required to restore the air chamber's integrity. You will need to source the appropriate suspension fluid or air can lubricant separately to complete the service.

While these seals primarily restore air spring integrity and prevent debris contamination, they indirectly improve damping performance by ensuring the shock operates within its intended pressure range. By eliminating air leaks and stiction, the shock will feel more consistent and predictable on the trail.
