[Closed] Monarch RL shock problem - sudden ramp up in rate mid-travel?

[#10249331]

My '15 Anthem has a Monarch RL rear shock. Last few rides I've noticed it feeling clunky part way through the travel (feels fine for the first 60mm of wheel travel, then feels like it hits something internally).

Last night I let the air out of the shock to investigate further. The rear sags to this ~60mm point but no further. It is possible to compress it further with effort, but there's a feeling of a high spring rate from this point on.

What's the likely culprit? And is it a DIY fix? (I've done an air can service before, but nothing more than that on a rear shock)

Cheers for the advice!

When did you last have it serviced?

It's only had an air-can service done (by me), and that was a while ago.
