Damper side? Possibly a touch too much oil in the lowers, maybe due to a leak from the damper cartridge (common fault in the past) causing too much pressure behind the seal under full travel. Probably worth doing a lowers service to make sure there's no dirt got inside.

Thanks coatsey. The o ring (bit of sponge?) is filthy.

LBS is a good lad, in house service. Shall not be doing this myself for fear of ruining my year old forks.

Today is my birthday.

I am sad. Should've just kept the psi nice and high how I like it. Stuff all this "research" bullshit.
