    I just pulled the lowers off my Pike 454 Air U-Turn, and a loose circlip fell out, along with a bent spacer (bottom out bumper?).

    It’s quite a small circlip, about 15mm, and I can’t see anywhere that it might have come from. This worries me.

    The air spring is still in the uppers, as is the rebound cart.

    It’s a long shot, but any ideas?

    It’s likely an internal clip that prevents the air ‘lower’ from coming out of the upper ( I’m talking about the internals here).
    Have a look ‘up inside’ the internal – is there a circlip there? Try to yank the air shaft out. The should be a clip there preventing that.

    There’s no circlip in the air side, but I don’t see how it could hold anything in. It’s too small to secure the air spring inside the stanchion.

    It certainly did something

    i think he means securing the thinner pipe [ the neg chamber] so that it cannot be withdrawn from the upper air chamber

    Get in SRAM tech drawings and see what is missing

    It’s not off the top of the blue compression-adjuster/lockout is it?

    Yes the should be a small circlip on the air side if memory serves. I was in some earlier this week. Big circlip damper side, small one air side..

    Brilliant, problem solved! I was expecting it to be a big one like on the damper side.

    I’ve stuck it on the bottom of the air spring. There seems to be a groove for something to sit in. It’s now home to a circlip.

    Thanks a lot guys!
