I've not taken any of my forks apart yet know bugger all about any of them but noticed the rebound is not central! Seems to turn around ok ish (12-13 clicks) catches the forks though.
Easy to fix or is it more involved or just leave as is?

Can you pull the rebound knob off? It should just pull off although dirt etc can make them quite hard to remove. With a bit of luck, might just be that thats bent.

Should look like this once removed...

hmm. That's not good! Hopefully it has just come downwards and bent the allen key bit. Got a shot looking up into the hole?

I'll have another look at them tomorrow, thanks for replies.
Didn't know that it was a push fit but thinking about it it couldn't be threaded could it lol...
If it does come out ok I'll try straightening it, and prob snap the bugger!

If its broken, it doesn't matter anyway as you can just use an allen key to adjust the rebound instead...all the rebound knob is is a allen key with a nice anodised red knob on the end of it <s****>
