Hi all,

Just built up a new orange 5 frame that has a 2010 Fox Rp23 boostvalve rear shock.
The problem I have is that even with 250psi in the shock it will completely compress if I lean on the saddle for a few seconds, let alone sit on the thing. Im not exactly light, but surely this shock can take 15st?! When re-attaching the shock pump it still shows the original psi so its not loosing pressure.
Are there any quick fixes or is it back to the bike shop on monday?
Quite gutted!! Was looking forward to riding my new toy tomorrow!!

Thanks!

Sounds borked, take it back.

damn, was worried I might have too! Had to wait 4 weeks for the frame to be made and now this. lets hope the nice weather remains for a few more weeks so I can actually ride this bike before the trails get slow and muddy 🙂

If it's unused it'll probably be swapped with a new one there and then, even if it has to go back it's usually a 24hr turnaround with Mojo.
