DescriptionThe whole story▼

Shims 12/23/0.25, Öhlins part number 00525-23. A shim is a thin, ground steel washer, and the stack of them is what generates damping.

Key Features

  • Öhlins part number 00525-23
  • Outer Diameter 23 mm
  • Inner Diameter 12 mm
  • Original Öhlins service part
  • Thickness 0.25 mm

Function

12 mm, 23 mm, 0.25 mm: that is the whole specification, and it has to match what came out. Two shims of the same thickness but different diameter give completely different curves. Öhlins stamps and grinds its shims to tolerances a general-purpose washer never holds. Revalving means changing the stack, which is why Öhlins sells shims individually.

Why the Original

Rebuilding to specification only works if the parts are to specification — that starts here. Every part in this catalogue is one Öhlins fits itself during assembly and service. Service parts are ordered per piece unless stated otherwise. Where a number has been superseded, Öhlins states the replacement — we pass that on.

Getting the Number Right

Order under 00525-23. Where several sizes share a description, only the number separates them. inner diameter 12 mm, outer diameter 23 mm, thickness 0.25 mm is what distinguishes this number from its neighbours in the range. Outer diameter sets the lever the oil works against, and thickness sets the resistance. Öhlins holds thickness to hundredths of a millimetre because that is the resolution damping changes at.

Fitting and Setup Service

We are an authorised Öhlins service centre, so you do not have to source the tools and the nitrogen: send us the damper and we rebuild it with the correct parts and the correct setting.
