1 Cane Creek Double Barrel Instructions Congratulations on your purchase of the Cane Creek Double Barrel (CCDB) rear shock. Developed in partnership with Öhlins Racing, the Double Barrel brings revolutionary suspension technology to the bicycle market. For nearly three decades, Öhlins Racing AB, based in Stockholm, Sweden, has produced high-performance suspension systems for the elite teams in all disciplines of World Class motor sport racing. Sharing the precision quality and exceptional performance that is inherent in Öhlins designs, the Double Barrel is designed for performance in extreme off road conditions. The unique Twin Tube design incorporated in the CCDB offers the broadest adjustment range available in suspension. The CCDB s adjustment features give you the control to tune the shock your way for your bike. Enjoy the ride. Caution: Reading and following the set-up instructions carefully and methodically is critical. Incorrect tuning can produce poor results or even dangerous riding performance. See pages 5 & 6 for key set-up instructions. Design Background: Most shock absorbers are the De Carbon type (figure 1). These shocks separate the gas from the oil with a dividing piston, usually located in a remote (or piggy back) reservoir. Primary damping takes place via the main piston by using a shim stack. The shim stack resists the flow of oil though the ports on the piston. Stiffer shims yield more resistance; and, thus, more damping force. Some oil is also displaced by the shaft entering the body chamber. This oil flows out to the reservoir where the expansion chamber can accommodate it. When the shock rebounds, this oil returns to the main chamber by the same route. Figure 1: De Carbon type Variations of this style of shock will incorporate external adjusters to control the damping characteristics. The most common adjustment controls the rebound damping. A small needle valve running through the center of the piston shaft controls the flow of oil as the shock Figure 2: Twin Tube type 03/07/08 Page 1 of 8

The De Carbon style shocks function very well if adjusted properly. Unfortunately, the external adjusters are limited in their range. The rebound bleed valve Figure 5: Main piston shim stack. works primarily on low speed damping. Thus, it has little effect on high speed movement. Also, external adjusters on the reservoir have little effect. The reason is that they dampen only a small percentage of the oil only the oil displaced by the piston shaft. Some designs will try to increase the effect by using larger piston shafts, but this has a negative effect on the pressure balance and performance of the shock overall. So, to achieve the best characteristics, the shock must be disassembled and re-valved for each specific application not an easy task. The Twin Tube technology (figure 2) incorporated in the Double Barrel shock is different. Rather than pumping only displaced oil back and forth to the reservoir, the oil circulates continuously through the valving to achieve highly controllable, independent damping. Figure 6: Shock dynamometer There are three distinct damping features in the CCDB for both the compression and rebound strokes. The low speed adjusters (figure 3) consist of needle style bleed valves that control the flow of oil when the shaft is moving slowly. Turning the slotted screw varies the size of the orifice through which the oil flows. A larger orifice allows more oil flow and, thus, more suspension movement for slow speed travel. The high speed adjusters are poppet style valves (figure 4) that open once the pressure from the oil flow is significant enough. Turning the hex adjusters varies the spring preload behind the poppet and determines the opening force. Finally, the main piston in the shock has both a compression and rebound shim stack (figure 5). These control the high speed damping characteristics for general 03/07/08 Page 2 of 8

3 suspension control. Separating all these components are check valves that allow them to operate totally independently. The value of the Double Barrel design is in the external adjustments enabled by the twin tube technology. Rather than disassembling the shock to change shim stacks, an equivalent range of control can be achieved by simply turning the adjusters. Changing the adjustment of one will not affect the performance of another. You have immediate feedback on the trail. All these features work together to create the perfect performance for your unique riding style and conditions. Theory: In order to better understand the function of the Double Barrel shock, it is helpful to have some background in the science behind dampers. Dampers are basically energy absorbers. They accomplish this by slowing the flow of oil though various types of valves. Because oil is nearly incompressible, it is a good fluid for precise damping control. The more the oil is constricted, the more the motion of the shock is slowed. The energy from the bump on the trail is transformed into heat in the oil through the damping process. Force nose knee Velocity When discussing damper dynamics Figure 7: Damping curve from a dynamometer the terms low speed and high speed are discussed. This does not refer to the velocity of the bike, but rather, the speed of movement of the shock s piston shaft into the body of the shock. Low speed inputs come from slow undulations on the trail or movement of the frame caused by pedaling forces. High speed inputs are a result of bigger impacts such as dropping off a ledge or hitting a bump rapidly. slope In order to determine the characteristics of a particular shock the damper forces must be measured. A dynamometer is a test device used to study this performance. The damper is cycled though a compression and rebound stroke while measuring the force it produces. This information if graphed on a force vs. velocity plot. A typical dynamometer curve would show that as the velocity of the shaft increases the force also increases. The three regions of the typical damping curve are the nose, knee, and slope (figure 7). The nose is the low speed (slow shaft movement) region and the slope is the high speed region. The knee is the transition between the two. The adjustments made to the shock will affect the force output at the various shaft velocities. Force The low speed adjustment will affect the force in the nose region of the graph as shown in figure 8. More low speed damping will increase the amount of force generated for a given velocity. On the trail, this means that the slow shaft movement generated by small inputs like pedaling forces will be controlled. Increasing low speed damping Velocity Figure 8: Effect of low speed damping adjustment. 03/07/08 Page 3 of 8

4 The high speed adjustment controls the damper force in the slope portion of the curve (figure 9). The slope of the curve increases with more damping input. Thus, more force is generated at a given shaft velocity. On the trail, this translates into the damper being able to absorb bigger hits without bottoming out. Function: The Double Barrel design enables the independent control of each portion of the damping curve for both compression and rebound strokes. The unique valving has a significant effect due to the fact it is continuously acting on the oil pumped through the circulating system. Force Velocity Increasing high speed damping Figure 9: Effect of high speed damping adjustment. For low speed shaft movement, the brass needle valves control the shock s response. The movement of the piston does not produce enough pressure to open the main shim stack or poppet valves. Therefore, the oil is directed through the precisely metered needle valve orifice (figure 10 & 11). This restricted flow damps the movement of the shaft minimizing the undesired suspension movement. The low speed damping adjustability for both the compression and rebound strokes allows the rider to fine tune the performance to the rider s style. If the shock movement comes primarily from powerful pedal strokes, then increasing the low speed compression damping will dial this out. If the movement seems linked more to the dead spots in the pedal stroke, then the low speed rebound adjustment can effectively reduce shock movement and suspension bob. Be careful in using the rebound damping adjustment as too much damping may cause the shock to pack up and not be ready to respond to successive hits. For high speed shaft movement, when the wheel hits a significant obstacle, the high speed damping takes over. This high speed damping is controlled using two components: the main piston shim stack and the high speed adjustment poppet valves. During an impact, the oil pressure builds up in front of the piston as the low speed Oil flows through the low speed bleed valve. Oil flows through low speed bleed valve. Figure 10: Low speed compression flow Figure 11: Low speed rebound flow 03/07/08 Page 4 of 8

5 passages are too small to handle the flow. The oil pushes open the poppet valve and piston shim stack allowing the suspension to move while absorbing the energy from the impact. The order in which these two high speed valves open depends on the settings. The piston shim stack is fairly stiff and will typically open later than the softer, high speed poppet valve. If the poppet damping is increased it may open slightly later than the main shim stack. Either way, this dual path valving enables the greatest control of damping characteristics for the high speed range for both compression and rebound strokes. You can see the high speed oil flow paths in figures 12 & 13. Piston rebound shim stack opens Compression poppet opens (high speed) Rebound poppet opens (high speed) Piston compression shim stack opens Figure 12: High speed compression flow Figure 13: High speed rebound flow Mounting the CCDB: When mounting the shock to the frame check carefully to make sure the shock does not contact the frame at any point in the travel. The shock and suspension must move freely without restriction. This can be done by removing the spring, and allowing the suspension to move through the entire range of motion. Spherical bearings are used at the shock s ends whenever the application will allow their use. Frames that require very wide mounting hardware will bend bolts if spherical bearings are used, so Double Barrel shocks for these applications are equipped with bushings. Cane Creek has determined what mounting hardware your bike requires and has equipped your Double Barrel appropriately. Spherical Bearing: o 8mm spherical hardware comes with a plastic alignment pin to aid in installation. See figure o below for details on how this alignment pin is used. 6mm spherical hardware has a steel sleeve in place of the alignment pin that remains inside the hardware once the 6mm mounting bolt passes through. Bushing Hardware: 8mm and 6mm bushing hardware both use the axle and cap design. Insert shock with installed mounting hardware in frame, then slide mounting bolt through frame and shock hardware. 03/07/08 Page 5 of 8

Don t worry, that is how it is supposed to feel. Despite what you may be used to, suspension is intended to move easily with as little friction as possible. The damping controls of the Double Barrel can handle the big hits even though it feels very soft in the parking lot. Cane Creek often gets the question, How should it feel? We answer, it should feel great! Everyone has their own preferences as far as suspension feel and two equally sized riders on the same bike might require different shock setups. Even the same person might require different setups depending on terrain. Having said this, we ship the Double Barrel with the settings shown in the table below labeled Stock Settings. When starting out on the Double Barrel for the first time, start with the stock settings. Find a familiar section of trail you can ride repeatedly as you make incremental adjustments to the shock until it feels great. Make one adjustment at a time and make small changes each time. The adjusters on the Double Barrel are very sensitive, you won t need to go all out or all in to change the shock s behavior. Even small steps can have a big effect. However, you should feel free to experiment, you can always just start over by returning to the stock settings. Changing the adjusters will not harm the shock. See the Recommended Tuning Order table below for how Cane Creek recommends you make go through the available adjustments. 03/07/08 Page 6 of 8

7 Recommended Tuning order: 1. Make the necessary spring adjustments to achieve the proper sag setting for your shock. 2. Adjust the High Speed Rebound Damping 3. Adjust the High Speed Compression Damping 4. Adjust the Low Speed Damping settings Stock Settings: Compression Rebound Spring Preload Adjuster High Speed (hex) Low Speed (screw) High Speed (hex) Low Speed (screw) Spring Adjustment Nut Setting Two (2) turns in from fully open Twelve (12) clicks in from fully open Two (2) turns in from fully open Twelve (12) clicks in from fully open Based on measurements described below * Fully open is all the way counter-clockwise. Inspection and Maintenance: The CCDB shock is designed for long term durability, though some simple maintenance steps can insure long life and smooth function. 1. Use compressed air to blow away all debris. 2. The shock can be cleaned with a mild detergent. 3. Recommended periodic maintenance is every 100 hours of use. This involves checking the reservoir pressure, inspecting seals, inspecting bushings and possibly changing the damper oil. This inspection should only be performed by a certified Cane Creek technician. Call a Cane Creek technical service at Caution: Do not attempt to disassemble or refill the gas or oil in the shock. Doing so could be dangerous and will void the warranty. Please call a Cane Creek technical service representative /07/08 Page 7 of 8

8 Double Barrel Tuning Tips Spring & Spring Preload What it does What you should know How to set it The spring stores and then releases energy to rebound the suspension to position following a hit. Various spring rates are available based on your weight, the frame design and leverage ratio. The CCDB is available with either steel or Titanium springs. A stiffer spring (high spring rate) supports a heavier rider. The spring preload can adjust the sag in the suspension. Turning the Adjuster Nut can add or reduce the spring preload. One turn of the adjuster nut equals 1mm of spring preload. Measure the shock length with the rear wheel off the ground. Sit on the bike in your normal riding position and measure the length again. The difference between the two measurements should be 30% of the shock s travel. For example, if your shock has 70mm of travel, the difference in length should be 21mm (70 x 0.30 = 21mm). If you don t have enough sag, reduce the spring preload until the measurement is correct. If you have more than 6mm of spring preload you should use a stiffer spring. High Speed Rebound Damping hex adjuster Controls the extension of the shock following a big hit. Rebound damping resists the force of the spring as it expands the shock. Affects the response of the shock when returning from deep in the travel. Less rebound damping is good because it enables the wheel to return to the ground more quickly. Full adjustment range is ~3.5 revolutions. Increasing the rebound damping will slow down the return of the shock to its full length. If the suspension feels too bouncy or loose, increase the rebound damping. If the feel is hard and bumpy, especially over a series of bumps, decrease the rebound damping. Make adjustments in ½ turn increments. Clockwise rotation increases damping. High Speed Compression Damping hex adjuster Controls the compression of the shock for big hits that move the shock s shaft at high velocity. Compression damping assists the spring in absorbing the initial impact of a hit Affects the bottoming resistance of the shock. More compression damping is good as it keeps the tire against the ground, thus, increasing control. Note: You will only sense adjustment changes on big hits. High speed has nothing to do with the speed of the bike. High speed refers to how fast the shock compresses. Full adjustment range is ~3.5 revolutions. Increasing compression damping will reduce the amount of stroke consumed in absorbing a hit. If the shock is bottoming too much, increasing high speed compression damping will improve the performance. If the suspension is too harsh on big hits, reduce the damping. Make adjustments in ½ turn increments. Clockwise rotation increases damping. Low Speed Compression Damping brass screw inside hex adjuster Low Speed Rebound Damping brass screw inside hex adjuster Controls the compression of the shock in the pedal stroke and on small, slow bumps. Controls frame movement of the bike as a result of pedaling. Controls the response to small, repeated bumps. Low speed compression and low speed rebound damping work together to finely tune the suspension characteristics to your specific needs. Low speed compression damping has the biggest impact on pedal bobbing as it controls how fast and deep the bike will sag with each pedal turn. The low speed rebound controls how fast the bike comes back up. If you restrict pedal bobbing completely using just one adjuster you will loose performance when not pedaling. It is best to balance the pedaling isolation using a combination of the two low speed adjusters. Full adjustment range is ~24 clicks. Increasing compression damping will slow the movement of the suspension for small low velocity inputs (like pedaling). If you feel the suspension bobbing too much, increase the low speed damping. Make adjustments in 2 click increments. Clockwise rotation increases damping. Increasing rebound damping will slow the return of the shock for low velocity inputs. If you feel the shock packing up too much over repeated bumps, decrease the rebound damping. Make adjustments in 2 click increments. Clockwise rotation increases damping.

More information
The Cane Creek AD-5 rear shock is a combined spring and damper system for rear suspension mountain bikes. The shock utilizes pressurized air as both
the springing and damping medium. The unit is typically filled with air to a pressure between 110 and 250 psi (7.6 - 17.2 bar), depending on the weight
and preferences of the rider. The springing system is like a conventional air spring, where the spring force is generated by reducing the volume of the
pressurized air chamber, thereby increasing its internal pressure. The damping forces are generated by flowing the pressurized air into and out of several
internal chambers through valves as the shock is compressed and extended. This valving is tuned specifically for each frame design. The AD-5 system
also incorporates a negative spring air chamber which assists the initial travel and provides very smooth performance.
The springing and damping characteristics of the AD-5 shock are controlled by air pressure. The air pressure is set based on the weight of the rider and
the desired performance characteristics. Pressure is controlled with a standard shock pump, which should be capable of over 200 psi (13.8 bar) and have
a pressure gauge. The shock should be inflated as indicated on the following chart. After some riding, this initial pressure setting can be adjusted up or
down to suit the rider's preferences. Reduced pressure will provide a smoother, more 'plush' ride, but with a greater tendency to bottom out. Increased
pressure will give a firmer ride with somewhat quicker rebound.
ATTENTION: Use a metal cap with seal to prevent leakage of air from the valve. Inflate or deflate shock only while it is installed on the bike.

* 100 kPa = 1 bar
Proper care for the AD-5 rear shock includes checking the pressure periodically, keeping the shaft and exposed rod wiper clean, and occasionally lubricating
the seals. Remember that some air will be lost whenever the pressure is checked. Lubricating the seals is a fairly simple process requiring only a few simple
tools, and is recommended after approximately 200 hours of use.

1. Deflate the shock and clamp the valve end of the shock in a soft-jawed vice, being careful not to damage the
2. Unscrew (counterclockwise) the black, lock ring in the middle of the shock. DO NOT USE TOOLS (pliers, vice
grips, etc.) Wrapping a cloth or large rubber band around the ring will improve your grip.
3. Carefully pull the piston shaft out of the large cylinder. Prevent contamination of the seals by keeping all parts
4. Remove the lock ring from the piston shaft by sliding it over the eyelet end. The seal bushing can also be
5. Remove the rod wiper from the lock ring (Figure 5), the seals from the seal bushing (Figure 6), and the
AD0303 o-ring seal from the piston (Figure 7). Be very careful not to scratch the seal grooves while removing the
seals. Wipe all the surfaces using a clean lint-free cloth (Do not use solvent). Liberally apply Cane Creek Defriction
Lube to the seal grooves and the new seals. Install the seals as shown in Figure 5, 6, and 7. In order to modify the
shock's valving set-up, please refer to section B.
6. If the 'soapy water' test revealed a leak around the bushing (AD0127) in the piston shaft eyelet, then the
volume adjustment plate must be removed to replace the seals. If the test did not show a leak around the bushing
7. To remove the volume adjustment plate, clamp the piston shaft eyelet in the vice, and use a spanner wrench to
unscrew (counter-clockwise) and remove the piston (Figure 3). With the piston shaft still clamped in the vice,
remove the white plug in the center of the volume adjustment plate. Insert the hooked tool into the plate's opening
and carefully pull it upward being careful not to damage the plate. Work from side to side not allowing the plate to
8. Before reinstalling the volume adjustment plate, inspect the seals (Figure 8) for cuts or dirt that may allow
leaks. Replace seals if necessary. Lubricate the seals and push the plate carefully down into the shaft, keeping it
level. If it gets stuck, remove it, and start over. Be careful not to cut or pinch the seals while reinstalling the volume
adjustment plate. When properly installed, the groove (or four side holes in the shaft if the plate is in the highest
position) will be barely visible just above the plate.
9. Replace the white plug in the center of the volume adjustment plate. Screw (clockwise) the piston back onto
the shaft and tighten it using the spanner wrench.
10. Reinstall the seal bushing on the piston shaft by sliding it over the eyelet end of the piston shaft. The
bushing's smaller end is to be toward the piston. Be careful not to cut or pinch the seals while reinstalling the seal
11. Apply Cane Creek Defriction Lube to the interior of the large cylinder and carefully insert the piston shaft
12. Slide the seal bushing down the
large cylinder as far as it will go. Now
and screw it (clockwise) onto the large
the wire ring at the end of the threads
leaving half of it exposed. Be sure that the wire ring is evenly in place all the way around the shock.
13. Align the eyelets by turning the piston shaft (clockwise). Inflate the AD-5 with a shock pump to about 150 psi
(10.3 bar). Submerge it in water to see if any bubbles come from the shock indicating leaks. If a leak is detected,
disassemble the shock again and check the appropriate seal for cuts or dirt. If there are no leaks, the shock can be
remounted on the bike and inflated to riding pressure.
The AD-5 Rear Shock is designed to be used with a wide variety of bike frames. The shocks are built and tuned at the
factory for a particular bike. If the factory settings are not appropriate for your preferences or riding abilities you can
change the factory setting relatively easily. There are four different factors involved in tuning the AD-5. First, air pressure is
the easiest to vary and is usually based on the rider's weight. A higher pressure is recommended for heavier riders.
Second, compression damping is determined by the thickness of a small round valve shim in the piston. Using a

Cane Creek Double Barrel Air

thicker valve shim increases the compression damping, slowing the rate at which the shock compresses.
Third, rebound damping is controlled by the passage of air through a small hole in the piston. This hole is located in
the valve screw on the piston. If a screw with a larger hole is used, then the rebound will be faster.
Lastly, the volume of the shock can be varied to change the shape of the spring curve. The volume is set by a plate
located in the piston shaft. Moving the plate to a position deeper inside the shaft will increase the shock's air volume
and make the spring curve more linear. A smaller shock air volume will make the spring curve more progressive
Changing these settings is described in the following instructions. If you want to know the settings on your shock or
if you have other questions prior to disassembling it, please call a technical-service representative at 800-234-2725.
1. Clamp the piston shaft eyelet in the vice, and use a spanner wrench to unscrew (counter-clockwise) and remove
the piston (Figure 3). To change either the compression damping or rebound damping, the brass screw in the piston
must be removed using a socket wrench. You can replace the valve shim or brass screw with components from the
Tuning Kit. Be sure to reassemble the parts as shown in Figure 7. Tighten the screw snugly--do not use excessive
2. To change the shock's volume the black volume adjustment plate within the piston shaft must first be removed.
This is described in step 7 of section A. Once you have removed the volume adjustment plate from the shaft, you
will see a small, metal retaining ring in one of three internal grooves. This ring positions the volume adjustment plate
within the shaft. Remove the retaining ring from its groove using your fingernail. Do not use tools that could scratch
the inside of the shaft. Move the ring to the desired groove and snap it back in place.
3. The shock is ready for reassembly. Return to step 8 of Section A.
