The gate cap came loose from my 2008 Reba SL forks. (the little bung at the top of the damping leg) When washing the bike later I have managed to get some water in somewhere, it was making an odd noise when compressed anyhow.
So, any idea what is likely to need fixing? I have disassembled the forks, but the gate is part of the motion control damper, which appears to be one complete unit. So how does it work -the red coloured shell is not compressable, so what moves? Can I cycle the assembly a few times to clear it of any water?
Also what does the rebound adjuster turn inside the fork leg? I can't tell from the exploded diagrams.
Thanks!
