[#1888453]

Anyone out there have similar problems with their lefty max 130? Mine takes 130 pressure when the recommendation is 90. Even at this pressure with a starting sag of around 25mm the fork seems to ride into its travel ending up with a sag of around 40 to 50mm, this seems to happen gradually. When I stop the fork will return to the correct sag?
Any ideas

Faulty pressure gauge?

Just pump it up until it feels right. Don't worry about the 'recommendation'.

no - this a 'feature' of leftys IIRC. bu66ered if i can remember what makes 'em do it. take a look at mtbr.com in the cannondale section of the forum. unsurprisingly there are lots of them there. also a great deal of knowledge.

Thanks Del, I'll try that. Elfinsafety - it's not the indicated pressure that bugs me it's the fact that sag increases over a relatively short period of time from a set 25mm to 45 / 55mm yet when I check to see whether I have lost air, I haven't!
