[TR] tr-3 lever shocks

[Brian.L.Jones at gsk.com]

For fluif, I'd suggest using Shock Absorber Fluid from a supplier such as 
http://www.lbcarco.com, part 220-304 for ~$12 (and ~$14 from Moss). One 
bottle is more than enough for both shocks. Some folks have used shock 
fluid intended for a motorcycle front fork, but I was uncertain of 
matching the correct oil weight to the mechanism.

As to the missing cleaner, it could be the volume of cleaner you have put 
in is insufficient to prime the 'pumping' action? I'd fill them with motor 
oil to ensure the mechanism is working and to flush out the gunk and then 
clean them again, and fill with the shock oil. Mine were half full of a 
treacle-like black sludge, but once cleaned up, were pristine, internally.

Make sure when reinstalling the shocks that you have the two bolts that 
secure each shock as tight as they should be. I had an occasional clunk in 
the rear that I *eventually* traced to my rear shocks. The bolts were far 
from loose, but tightening them correctly resolved my clunk.
