Service intervals:
We've made every effort to design this product to last and be low maintenance. However, all high-performance parts need some kind of preventative maintenance to perform optimally. We recommend cleaning and regreasing the damper as soon as any noise or negative feeling occurs in the device. We also offer service kits and replacement chain rings that can be replaced by following this guide .
Should a squeak appear in the actuation, a small drip of chain lube around the seals of the damper should fix this.
CHAIN DAMPER
The RIMPACT Chain Damper effectively absorbs the chain's pedal kickback, ensuring a smooth and quiet ride.
It reduces kickback in the drive system by controlling the energy generated in the slapping chain. The Chain Damper thus enables a virtually "chainless" riding experience.

service
RIMPACT designed the Chain Damper to be durable and low-maintenance. However, high-performance components generally require a certain amount of preventative maintenance to ensure optimal long-term performance.
- Cleaning and re-greasing are recommended as soon as noises or negative feedback are noticeable in the damper.
- RIMPACT offers service kits and replacement chainrings that can be easily replaced using the included instructions.
- Should a squeaking noise occur in the damping mechanism, a small drop of chain oil on the damper seals is often sufficient.
