Giant Reign 2 Rear Shock Replacement

Use this guide to learn how to replace the rear shock on your Giant Reign 2 Bicycle.

The rear shock is another term for the rear suspension of a bicycle, and it's used to hold the back wheel stable. It also helps the rider keep control, assists with keeping the bike touching the ground, and aids with mitigating or absorbing any strong impacts. If it fails, the result could be the bicycle malfunctioning and the owner of the bicycle being injured.

Some symptoms of a rear shock's need for replacement are looseness, leaking air, or stiffness when steering. Generally, its recommended that both the rear and front shocks be replaced every six to twelve months, especially if a person is relatively active in bicycling activities.
