I've a got an issue with my 140mm travel Pike fork which has recently been fitted with a 2012 Moco RLT Damper from a Revelation. I have fitted the damper adding 123ml of 5wt oil to the upper compression leg (from the Sram service manuals). I am only getting approximately 40mm of travel before the forks become extremely hard (feels like they are bottoming out but no where near full travel). I am unable to compress the forks past this point (95mm on the u-turn marks). I have no idea what is causing this issue, can anyone shed any light into the situation

are you 100% sure that's the right amount of oil, and that you emptied all the old oil out?
I presume that the damper is from 150mm forks, so might need a bit less oil than the manual states

I'm certain that I emptied all the oil out. If oil volume was the issue surely it would stop just before the max travel rather than 40mm intot he travel.

i don't know about that, but it's an easy thing to check. Drain the oil, see if it is still locking before bottom out.
