I’ve got a Rockshox Lyrik RC2DH 170mm coil 2012. SRAM stopped making the coil in 2012 but due to a warranty issue they custom made me this one. I mention this as there are different oil volumes between 2011 and 2012.
When I take the coil out and compress the fork, I can’t get full travel (it has previously worked fine). It gets to about 150mm and then stops, not harshly like when it hits the bottom out bumpers but more like hitting a spring if that makes sense.
I haven’t finished stripping the fork but I wanted suggestions of things to look for:
1) too much oil in the lowers. I’ve drained them and it doesn’t make a difference, so no.
2) one of the bottom out bumpers twisted when I last serviced them and is now vertical so acting as bottom out spring now.
3) could too much oil in the damper cause this? I have no idea on the last one – I used a measuring cylinder from a lab to measures it out, but perhaps I hadn’t fully drained it or something.
Sorry the post is so long. I just wanted to give as full details as possible.
Thanks.
