    Default Ohlins shock fill needle question

    Has anyone converted the needle fill to a schrader?

    Can't say I have but I'm not sure I would ever want to. The needle fill plugs in the Ohlins shocks simply do NOT leak. The same cannot be said for a Schrader valve. They need to be checked at least weekly.

    Exactly, the bladders never leak. ive never checked one that has leaked down. I wish every shock company had the bladder deal instead of schraders.

    They would but Ohlins wisely got a patent on the deal.

    There are other deals available that I have seen on hydraulic accumulators.

    They have a Schrader, but also a nut that blocks off the flow to the Schrader. They don't leak either.
