Re:

Thanks for the photo.
Maybe you can help me out.
I've got a Risse Genesis damper also, but it seems a part of the airvalve is missing.
Any idea what I need?
Is this a uncommon airvalve or do I just need to screw a Schraeder valve in?

Re:

looks like you need a new high pressure air valve with a hex base.try to remove counterclockwise with a dental pic maybe?https://www.kartek.com/parts/fox-air-sh ... -ring.html

Re:

Thanks for the info.
I've loosened it and put in a Schraeder valve from a Fox damper.
The threading is the same but it's too long, so I can't fasten the Schraeder valve into the housing.
