Finally caught on film (well, pixels), blue bottle jack.
Must be to preload the shock or keep the rear end jacked up or something like that.
One pump or two?

Might have caused the extra bounce in the back of the bike that I saw in Robbie's latest race pics. Mind you the rear was much higher than than the front, and both wheels were a fair distance off the ground. And occasionally pointing towards the ground.

Robbies comment was something along the lines of... Typical, the visor on the helmet was first to go so the helmet got filled up with little stones

That was my first thought, would make a nice "sprooiinng..." noise if it did :)
I'm a bit spring shy though, I had a mishap when I was about 13 fitting a new spring in my air rifle, the spring grazed my cheek about 3mm from my right eye and took out the kitchen light with a spectacular flash !!!
