do gas filled shocks have oil in them ? only my gas rear shock failed mot saturday due to leaking oil !!!!
 
I think Tom said the other day that they do but it's not used in the same way as a normal oil shock. Oil will be needed to lubricate the shock in any event.
 
Yup, they do. The oil forces the gas around and the gas does the damping.
