Product Details

Overview & Technology

RockShox Kage/Vivid Vise Blocks are purpose-built rear shock vise inserts that let you clamp Kage and Vivid shocks securely in a bench vise during service without damaging the shock body. Manufactured to RockShox's OEM specification (Mfr. Part # 00.4115.185.000, SRAM Model ID TL-RST-VB-A2), these blocks provide a stable, repeatable hold for seal swaps, air can work, and routine maintenance. The blocks are precision-machined from lightweight aluminium alloy with protective contact surfaces designed to distribute clamping pressure evenly and prevent marring of the shock's external finish. At roughly 0.3 lb and compact shipping dimensions (5" x 5.5" x 5"), they pack easily in your toolbox and are engineered for repeated workshop use.

Key Features & Benefits

Design highlights: These vise blocks are engineered to cradle the Kage and Vivid shock bodies in the correct orientation while you work — minimizing the risk of bending, compressing seals, or slipping under torque. The machined profile aligns with OEM service points so you can access air ports and mounting interfaces without obstruction. Real-world benefits: By using the correct vise blocks you speed up service time, reduce the chance of cosmetic or structural damage, and ensure a safer, cleaner repair. Ideal for shop techs, home mechanics, and bike shops that service RockShox rear shocks regularly.

Fit, Compatibility & Specifications

Compatibility: Specifically made for RockShox Kage and Vivid rear shock bodies. Confirm fit with the manufacturer part number 00.4115.185.000 and SRAM Model ID TL-RST-VB-A2 before purchasing. These blocks are intended for rear shock service — they are not a frame replacement or axle adaptor. Specs & handling: Precision-machined aluminium alloy construction with protective contact surfaces, lightweight (0.3 lb), compact footprint for standard bench vises. They clamp the shock safely by spreading pressure across the body; always pair with a properly adjusted vise and follow RockShox service instructions when disassembling suspension components.

Who These Are For

These vise blocks are made for mountain bike mechanics, bike shop technicians, and home enthusiasts who perform rear shock maintenance on RockShox Kage and Vivid models. If you service seals, air-spring assemblies, or perform regular shock rebuilds, these blocks are an essential workshop item to protect expensive shock hardware. They’re also a smart buy for race teams and trail centers that want faster turnaround and lower risk of damage during maintenance. Not intended as a universal vise insert — check compatibility if you own non-RockShox or third-party shocks.

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.
