Went to Llandegla yesterday and noticed that my Pikes were losing travel, this happened a couple of times. Set them to 140mm with the wind up thing and by the time id finished the run they were down to about 115 - 110mm, anyone know whats happening or is this the usual?

Mine did this, sent it of to J-Tech Suspension and apparently a delron ring (or piston) had swollen ever so slightly due to to water ingress.
He resized it for me and it runs lovely now.

Leak between chambers or out of positive chamber, service should sort unless parts have worn/ been damaged
