FAQ

How do I know if my DB Air outer air can seals need replacing?

Signs of worn outer air can seals include the shock losing pressure faster than expected between rides, needing frequent air top-ups, or visible grease or contamination around the air can junction. If the shock goes soft more than once per ride, seal replacement is the likely fix.

Is this a full shock service kit or just the air can seals?

This listing covers the outer air can seals only. A full shock service also includes damper oil and internal seals, which are sold separately. If you are only experiencing air pressure loss at the can, these seals are typically all that is needed.

Can I replace the DB Air outer seals at home without special tools?

Yes. Outer air can seal replacement on a DB Air is a relatively accessible service that does not require a full rebuild stand or specialized damper tooling. Cane Creek provides service documentation with step-by-step guidance available on their website.

Best For

Road, gravel, or cyclocross riders running a Cane Creek DB Air or DB Air CS rear shock who are experiencing air pressure loss or are due for a routine suspension service. A smart proactive purchase for anyone heading into a high-mileage season or a big event with DB Air suspension.
