We will be in touch
I'm only getting 80mm of travel out of my forks after servicing them. I put in the recommended oil volumes as detailed on the Fox website but I'm struggling with travel even after half a dozen rides. When all the air is removed I can get full travel, but as soon as I setup my sag with 105psi (I'm a heavy 16 stone rider!) I lose travel again. Any help and guidance will be appreciated.
Does your air spring have an oil seal and a foam ring or 2 oil seals? If it has the foam ring then fox had an issue of the lowers oil flowing past the 1 seal and getting into the air chamber, reducing the volume and increasing ramp up. You can either get hold of the new seals, or when you service them add the oil to the air spring, then pressurise it to 50psi or so then pop the lowers on and pop the oil in the lowers. This is a bit of a bodge but it makes the air seal expand and seal better so the oil doesn't get in the wrong place.
