[Closed] Rock Shox Reba's 'sticking down'

I know they are overdue a service (recently changed oil in lowers) but my dual air reba's seem to sit low, that is they seem to be at rest unweighted at about 100mm of travel as opposed to 120mm. To get the forks to full extension I need to pull them firmly downwards. Other than this the forks work fine.

They used to do this before the oil change, as did a previous set of dual air Reba's. I've played about with +/-ve pressures and rebound to no avail.

Would a negative spring and damper oil change do the trick? I'm tight and don't want to send them off for an expensive service when I could likely sort it out myself.

Less air in the negative or more in the positive should cure this.

Thought so, they're a bit low on the compression with sag at about 50%

Its times like this though when you think just 50mm of well performing suspension is better than 120mm of crap suspension, if you know what I mena.
