Thank you for the offer! I happen to have a friend going there soon. He will bring it back to Poland with him. i found a HD166 kit which I think is the right one for the DD80 damper...

The universe was kind to me today. I was very lucky to find a used damper locally. Someone sourced some old cannondale headshok parts from a bike shop in Switzerland among which were two of these DD80:dampers. Got one and put it in. It needs new seals but otherwise it’s in great shape. add link...

After many years or riding without rebound damping I finally was able to remove the piston and the shim. I measured some of the seals: - U-cup seals are SAE and are for a 0.5in (or 1/2in) shaft (inner diameter). Height is 0.125in (or 1/8in) - Two cup and bottom cup outer o-rings are metric and...

Thank you. I appreciate it:) Just like Victor said, the DD70 service manual states the lip on both seals should be pointing down in the top cap [∩| |∩] [∩| |∩] and pointing up in the bottom cap [∪| |∪] [∪| |∪] It must be the case for the DD80 as well.

Thank you. If I got the cylinder out I would at least attempt to restore the valve outer thread. I’m wondering if it’s heavy corrosion (I used this bike to commute all year long for 15 years straight) that is holding it in place or is there some sort of a circlip that wont Let go. I can see a...

Here are pictures of the valve cap and the damper: As you can see it's quite beaten up - doesn't hold air, the valve cap needs replacement (valve core is OK), and leaks oil significantly through bottom seals. I am hoping I can rebuild it.

Thanks for writing back. Its a 2002 Super Fatty D, with an identical cartridge to yours. Is there some sort of a retaining clip holding the air cylinder and the valve? I tried hammering it out today from the bottom but it won’t move.

Hi, Great writeup! I'm servicing my own Super Fatty DL but I cannot remove the air cylinder. The damper slides out OK. Then I pump the shock to remove the air piston that remains there. How do I remove the air cylinder along with the valve ??
