Been a while since I've worked on a pair of these. From memory I think that's where you adjust for the number of clicks. Anything that impacts on the overall length (and thus amount that the clicker rod can travel inside the assembly) relates to how many clicks there.
I never used any Loctite in there. Just snugged them together gently. |

That juncture, when all the way screwed in, gives me 31 clicks. If I back it out on the threads I can get to the specified 26 clicks it's supposed to have. However, then there is nothing keeping the two pieces from going out of adjustment. Look at the gap to get the correct number of clicks. That little circlip (indicated by the arrow) that I mentioned appears to be perfectly placed to align it for 26 clicks and looks to have had Green Loctite on it. Odd thing is that the two can be completely tightened down with the circlip in place as that was how it was when I disassembled it.

With all the things I've learned about these forks, I decided to film my recent servicing of them. If I didn't do something right, or you know a alternative/better way on something, please let me know here or post it on the comment section of the vid. Thanks to all that have shared what they have learned on these forks!

I did a full service on the forks, finished just yesterday, and while in there, I removed all the 12mm bleed shims from everywhere (comp, reb, mid) and also increased preload one notch. Went to ride today and, WOW, huge difference! It feels so much smoother now, flows over everything and does not hit on hands (harshness is almost gone). PFP 1 turn in, comp and reb 20 clicks out (standard), might need small tweaking but not sure at the moment. |
I'm happy it was helpful!
