Picked up and older but excellent condition Giant Reign for my son - was a seriously expensive bike in its day, so it has fully adjustable everything.

I stripped down the rear shock to get some rust kill on the spring - no issues there. But, I wanted to reset the rates to stock. Stupidly, I backed the rebound damping adjuster all the way out - it’s popped off whatever ratchet it was on in there, and the damping is now stuck at full. I can get the adjuster back in, but it’s not reengaging with whatever it’s supposed to.

Usually when I break shit, YouTube has the answer. Not this time! Any tips from the experts?!

    Haha, yes indeed. Shock, horror: I’ve reached out to the MTB community on Reddit (yes, I felt dirty) to see if they can help. Failing that, off to the shop

      r/MTB may not be of quite a much help as r/bikewrench so I would consider giving that a shot, too

        Yep, r/bikewrench is better if c/MTB doesn’t help. Using r/MTB is only going to get you distracted with jumps
