Anyone elses reverb gone exceedingly slow retuning to high setting ? Even with adjuster adjusted to fast speed.. and I mean really slow, like 50/60 seconds to return... was worse at minus 4 last night !
Any solutions or is it a Rerturn to base issue ?
Has it been back before Si?
Lube the shaft. It slides up and down through the seals, which are quite good, so there is a bit of friction.
Dont lube it with WD40 as that will remove the grease, use some oil.
Then try it.
Put some air in via the valve in the base, 250psi should lift you up alright.
Hi Matt, no its not been back before.
The cold doesn't do them any good I imagine either.
The cold wont change the air pressure or change the friction by any amount you would notice.
If it was cold enough to do that I reckon you would be dead.
If its got the right pressure in it, just lube it. Its not magic, its very simple inside.
Mine was slow, not as slow as yours though. Did a bleed, now sorted.
Cold shouldn't make any difference, otherwise air-sprung supension forks would suffer in the cold.
We'll send it back for you Si, should get upgraded to newer spec and sorted out. Worth doing while in warranty
mine went cold last winter, bled it again and its been perfect ever since.
Only takes sixty seconds - so long as you dont lose the screw! 😉
Cheers Matt.. that would be a winner, dropped it off today (with rest of bike).
and could do with doing as the plastic bit where hose goes into head is mangled.
