DVO Diamond E3 help

I am hoping someone here can help me out.

I have a Diamond E3 fork (the eBike version of the Diamond) and I am trying to do a lower leg service.

I cannot figure out how to remove the footnut/rebound knob on the damper side. It is different from the standard Diamond and I can't see any wrench flats/Allen screws or anything.

Before I broke something, I wanted to see if anyone here has any ideas.

Update: so apparently the adjuster knob just pulls right off, takes some force. Much like the Rockshox forks. I do wish there was some documentation online, but DVO was able to help.

End thread!

Huh, just had my Diamond open on the bench yesterday. Glad I didn't have to deal with those shenanigans.

This is probably the lowest end version they make, no OTT and a very simple damper. I haven't been able to make it feel very good and I am hoping a lower service with fresh oil and some slickoleum will help.

I'm pretty active on a couple Ibis Ripmo AF forums, where almost all those bikes come with DVO forks. It seems like the majority of them don't come well lubricated, and a lowers service does wonders. Fox Gold and slickoleum are a good choice down there.

Yeah thats the lowest end model they do. It's the same level as RS 35 Gold......The E3 feels WAY better than a 35 (IMHO), but it's not going to compare with a top end fork (like a Diamond D1 or RS Pike Select Ultimate)....

Came stock on my bike. Probably going to sell it, I currently have a Trust Shout in it's place.

I just want to give it a lowers service before I pass it on.
