Hello,

My rear shock is pretty old but I was able to service it almost yearly to keep it in good shape. It's an old FOX CTD Float I think (label is gone) on a SC 5010 Mk II. But I've noticed recently that something was not right - it sounds like the rebound is not working, but if I compressed it by hand, it looks fine. I only notice the issue on the trail, and it feel like the rebound does not work if the compression is hard/faster - like after a reasonable small jump for example.ย  The shock come back to its full travel very quickly, and the first time I noticed it, I thought I broke the frame.

That's the best way I can describe the problem - If somebody has a similar issue, I will be interested to hear from.

thank you!

In need of a service and a new shim stack by the sounds of it.

Mine did something similar and a damper service sorted it.

Just send it off.ย  I had a metallic slurp and weak damping from my CTD in the Autumn.

It was barely more than a regular service at TF for whatever was wrong and it came back running better than it has in ages (and I'm pretty ok on air can servicing).
