RockShox Super Deluxe R Eyelet Assembly

This assembly is specifically designed for RockShox Super Deluxe R shocks within the A1 through B2 generation range. Before purchasing, verify your shock's model year or generation code to ensure it matches these specifications.

This kit focuses on the eyelet assembly, including the eyelet itself, air valve, cap, and necessary shaft O-rings. While it covers the critical components for this specific section, it is not a complete seal kit for the entire shock body, so check if you need additional wiper seals or damper service parts.

If you have experience with suspension maintenance and the proper tools—such as a shock pump, pick set, and appropriate grease—this is a manageable task. However, if you are uncomfortable working with pressurized air systems or lack the specific tools to avoid damaging the seals, a professional shop service is recommended.

Replacing the assembly is necessary if the eyelet threads are stripped, the air valve seat is damaged, or the eyelet body itself has sustained impact damage that prevents a proper seal. If your shock is simply leaking air, you may only need a standard seal kit, but this assembly is the solution for structural or valve-specific wear.

You will need a shock pump to depressurize the unit, a set of non-marring picks for O-ring removal, and a high-quality suspension grease to ensure the new seals seat properly. Depending on your specific setup, a vise with soft jaws may also be helpful to hold the shock securely during the swap.
