Frequently Asked Questions
Will these vise blocks fit other RockShox rear shocks?
These blocks are specifically designed for RockShox Kage and Vivid rear shock bodies. They may fit other RockShox models with similar body diameters, but you should confirm compatibility using the part number 00.4115.185.000 or the SRAM Model ID TL-RST-VB-A2 before use.
What material are the blocks made from?
The vise blocks are precision-machined from a lightweight aluminium alloy with protective contact surfaces. The construction balances strength and weight while the contact surfaces help prevent cosmetic damage to the shock body during clamping.
How do I use these blocks safely in a bench vise?
Position the shock in the block so the block's profile sits flush against the shock body, then place the assembly in your bench vise and tighten evenly until secure. Avoid excessive vise force — tighten just enough to prevent movement while working and follow RockShox service guidelines to protect internal components.
Can I use these vise blocks on a frame or for wheel work?
No. These blocks are explicitly for rear shock service and are not intended as frame supports or wheel work holders. Using them for other purposes may damage the block or your parts and can be unsafe.
Do these blocks come with replacement pads or spares?
This product is sold as the pair of vise blocks only (Mfr. Part # 00.4115.185.000). RockShox does not typically include additional consumable pads with this item; contact your local dealer or RockShox support for spare protective inserts if available.
Are these required for a basic shock service?
While not strictly required, using the correct vise blocks is highly recommended for safe, damage-free service. They make seal changes and air can work much easier and reduce the chance of slipping or marring an expensive shock body.
Buying Guide
When buying vise blocks for rear shock service, prioritize fit and protection. Choose OEM or model-specific blocks (like RockShox’s 00.4115.185.000) to ensure the machining matches the shock body profile and service points — generic blocks may slip or obstruct ports. Look for durable materials (aluminium alloy is common) and protective contact surfaces to prevent marring. Consider how often you'll service shocks: occasional home maintenance may be fine with a single pair, while shops or race teams should keep spares on hand. Always confirm model compatibility using manufacturer part numbers or SRAM IDs and pair the blocks with a properly adjusted bench vise and the correct service manual.
