Left the dial at full off/anti clockwise and came to use/its frozen/stuck-stiff.

The motion control unit is bawked isn't it? Two week old fork.

This won't help but mines frozen too! They came like that (I bought them second hand a couple of years old from a mate so knew about it). I've been riding on mine anyway and they still feel lovely!

He sold them to you like that?

My fear is its a leak in the Moco unit and it means a new units needed. Can I ask for them collected as I don't fancy paying postage for a warranty fault 🙁

Yeah he did, he said he'd never actually bothered playing with it and gave me serious mates rates so I don't mind it! As I say though the fork still rides fine and feels ace, guess it must have stuck in a good position for me! I've had the unit out a few times and can't work out what's wrong so I'm saving up to send them to Loco/tf tuned when I get the money!

Can understand it being crap if they're new forks though!

It'll just have some grit in it.

just open it up, take the moco out and see if you can free it manually. Its not particularly complex bit of kit. IIRC the gate unscrews in a clockwise direction...

Nope, should've bought them from your LBS 😉

Do you actually want to use the adjuster? Or just having a play?

My Rev's u-turn knob stuck fast within the first month, lube & lots of twisting (once I got it to start moving) over came the grit that had got into it & it's been fine since

Just force it a bit. This is the advice I got from a former pro-team suspension tech. I gibbered a bit, got some mole grips, then turned the dial. It worked like a charm.

That was for the wee silver dial on top, can't remember if that's the low or high speed? Mine has subsequently fallen off and got lost (not related, I don't think)!

Do you mean MoCo or MiCo?

what stoner said, take it off the fork give it a clean and a fiddle theres not a lot to it. if its Mico and has still got the floodgate take it off (effectively turns it onto the new MiCo DH)

If you do send them back then don't use parcel force to send them. Use Parcel Monkey as it's £1 per £100 for insurance or someone similar who offers the cheap courier deals.
