Help I seem to have lost so much travel on my SID RLT's & i have to pump them up so hard (150) to get the % marks on the stanchions to be even visible so as to gauge my sag. I read something on a previous thread about undoing a bolt in the LH leg & releasing air ?

Yes, undo air side bolt in lower leg, you should hopefully see a valve in there (Reba & Revs do), depress the valve and they should extend back to full travel instantly. It's likely only a short term fix though as the pressure equalization dimple is probably blocked with an excess of grease that SRAM fill em with. Do a lower leg service, use as little grease as possible to lube them (I add 1mm of oil too) and hopefully they'll be trouble free. If under warranty you could return them. There's been a fair few threads on this issue, Google search should find them.

Cheers sounds like it's probably worth doing a service on them then if the valve release is only short term, think they are just over 2yrs so prob out of warranty
