ok I ****ed up the forks and the travel sucked in.
how do I reset them?
Release the pressure from the -ve and +ve. I think the -ve sucks the fork down if it has more pressure than the +ve. Put the rebound and floodgate in the middle, pump em back up (+ve first), then start fiddling!
I haven't found a reset switch yet. 😉
1. Take all the air out.
2. Put in air into the +ve chamber (top), as recommended on the sticker on the fork
3. sit on the bike with all your riding gear on (or account for the extra weight in 4)
4. add or remove air to set the right sag (20% of travel) - this is how far down the fork sits in its travel - so measure the amount of stanchion showing * by 80% and thats how much you want showing
5. Add air to the -ve chamber (bottom), and watch the stanchion very carefully - as soon as it moves down into the travel (this will be by about 0.5mm / 1mm) stop adding air.
Simples 🙂
Supplementary step: Ride the bike, if it feels hard, add more -ve air, if it feels too squishy remove a little -ve air.
You can set the +ve air at the beginning to suit your style better - i.e. XC racey, then 10 - 15% sag, sat back and chilled out riding - 30% sag....
