[Closed] Devilles - equalising the air chambers

Been fiddling with the forks, trying to do this correctly.

So, as suggested, I add a 2bar pressure, then compress them 10-15mm slowly a few times, then move up to a 4 bar, do the same, and then up to 7-ish (my suggested pressure) and do it again.

I read that as the chambers equalise, I should see the reading on the pump drop a little - not seeing that happen, though - anyoen know if this is correct?

I did this procedure yesterday and didn't notice the pressure drop.

Cool, thanks. Had the first ride on them last night, and was a bit all over the shop. Was muddy as hell though, and I had my tyres pumped too hard since the dry weather - think I have a bit of fiddlign around to do before I know what to make of them.

Did you find the suggested pressures a bit on the hard side? Either that, or I've lost a stone unbeknownst to myself.

I don't really remember to be honest! I've set them up and not fiddled with them since yesterday and I've run out of zipties now so can't set the sag properly xD

They are fairly hard if you run them at the suggest presure. I could barely get any sag with mine.

I run them ~15psi lower than the manual says. Everything I have read suggests people run them at a lower pressure (about 1bar down).

Cool, thanks all. Have dropped 15psi off them, just need to sneak out for a ride now.
