Hi,

Was servicing bike for 10UTB on Saturday and went to change shock pressure, a load of oily, foamy crap came spewing out of the schrader valve though 🙁

Off to check the web for cause / fix, but has anyone else ever seen this?

is it a bit blue in colour - if it is then its a bit of blue float fluid - 5ml inside the chamber to lube the shock body ?

nah, was clear almost like a slightly thicker gt85. i suspect the oil has mixed with water to form the foam.

gonna try the air sleeve maint and see what happens...

rebuilt the air can with new float fluid and reinflated and seems ok, so will be fine. Any authorised fox service centres going to 10 under? 🙂

Ah, nice to see you haven't left it to the last minute to check these things! 😉

Worse comes to the worse, you can use my bike, it's very unlikely I'll be on the course same time as you!
