Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does this nylon ball do in the shock?
The nylon ball acts as a sealing/seat element in the bleed piston (fixed-piston) assembly. When installed it helps form the intended hydraulic seal during low-speed piston movement, enabling consistent damping and preventing oil or air migration across the piston.
Is this compatible with all RockShox Monarch shocks?
This part is specified for Monarch and Monarch Plus models using the fixed bleed piston design. Check your shock's service manual or the part diagrams to confirm compatibility before ordering. If in doubt, provide your shock model and serial to our tech team for verification.
Can I install this part at home, or do I need a shop?
A competent home mechanic can install this part if they have the correct tools and follow the RockShox service manual. Tasks include disassembly of the shock end, correct seating of the ball, and proper lubrication. If youβre unfamiliar with suspension service, we recommend a pro tech to avoid damage or improper assembly.
Why buy the 20-pack? How many will I need?
The nylon ball is small and inexpensive but easy to lose or damage during service. The 20-pack is convenient for shops or riders who perform multiple services or want spares on hand. For a single rebuild you may only need one, but having extras avoids repeat orders.
Is this an OEM RockShox part?
Yes β this is a genuine RockShox part (Manufacturer Part #: 11.4115.132.010) and carries the SRAM model ID RS-SPP-A0, ensuring correct material and fit consistent with factory specifications.
Do I need any special grease or fluid when installing?
Use the suspension-specific assembly grease or lube recommended by RockShox in the service manual. These products protect sealing surfaces and help the ball seat correctly during assembly. Avoid petroleum greases not rated for suspension use.
Buying Guide
When buying shock service parts, always prioritize OEM components for critical sealing elements β they match original tolerances and materials. For RockShox Monarch and Monarch Plus shocks, check the service diagram or stickered part numbers on your shock to confirm you need the nylon bleed ball (11.4115.132.010 / RS-SPP-A0). Buy a multi-pack if you service multiple shocks or want spare parts between services. Pair this nylon ball with a full seal kit, recommended assembly grease, and the correct shock oil to complete a proper rebuild. If youβre unsure, consult Forest Bikes' tech team or a certified suspension shop to avoid mistakes that could harm performance.
