The adjuster is the part a rider actually touches, and its detents are what make a setting repeatable. Öhlins builds click adjusters with defined detents so a setting can be written down and returned to. Preload adjusters carry the full spring force and are built accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Original\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuspension is one of the few areas where the original part is genuinely the cheaper decision. The part number is the contract: it defines material, dimension and finish together. Tell us the damper's model designation and year and we will match the number for you. Ask us before ordering if you are unsure: a wrong part in a pressurised unit is an expensive lesson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Be Sure It Fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrder under 01460-18. Where several sizes share a description, only the number separates them. The published dimensions are dimension a 31 mm, dimension b 28 mm — measure the old part against them if you are unsure. The needle tip is the wear part: once rounded, the first few clicks stop doing anything. The adjuster knob is what the rider touches, and Öhlins colour-codes it by function.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA damper rebuild is workshop work: it needs the unit dismantled, the shim stack rebuilt in the correct order and the gas charge reset. We are an authorised Öhlins service centre and do exactly that in house — send us the unit or ask us to fit the part with your order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eBrand:\u003c\/em\u003e Öhlins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/em\u003e 01460-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCategory:\u003c\/em\u003e Preload Tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eDimension A:\u003c\/em\u003e 31 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eDimension B:\u003c\/em\u003e 28 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/em\u003e Sweden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Öhlins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53649098703114,"sku":"01460-18","price":82.0,"currency_code":"PGK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/01460-18_be018187-d0c8-461c-a5fe-bec09814d057.png?v=1788873746","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-pg\/products\/ohlins-preload-tube-31-28-01460-18","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
