Using the CaneCreek DB Kitsuma Coil Rear Shock is easy. First, decide which mode of the Three Position Climb Switch suits your riding. 'Descend' is for going downhill, 'CS' is the patented special mode, and 'Firm' gives a stiffer feel. You can make adjustments without tools right on the trail. Just find the ergonomic adjustment points and tune the shock to your preference. When it comes to maintenance, keep the shock clean after each ride. Wipe off dirt and debris, especially around the eyelets and adjustment knobs. Check the eyelet diameter regularly to make sure it's still 15mm and that there are no signs of wear or damage. Also, check the external adjustments like compression and rebound damping to ensure they're working smoothly. If you notice any issues, it's best to take it to a professional bike mechanic.
