The other day the forks I have (Rock Shox 302 Solo Air) stopped locking out, the lock out turn just goes all the way round, at some points with resistance though. The forks don't seem to get any stiffer and are open all the time, which is a bugger on the uphills.
I guess I'm looking for a professional forks service and I'm gonna ring round some lbs' this morning, just thought I'd ask for some info from the stw collective.
What do you reckon is the problem, can I do it myself or what would be a reasonable cost to have this repaired professionally?
Thanks
When you say the lockout goes all the way around, do you mean through 360 degrees, or from one end of its movement to the other?
If it still stops where it should but doesn't lock, it sounds like the oil level has dropped, but the cause of that needs investigating as they often drop oil into the lowers also reducing travel or leaking out of the rebound damper
no it goes all the way around, I turned 3 times in the same direction I think, before stopping.
Sounds like it's knackered then!
Take off the circlip that holds the top cap on, unscrew the top cap (24mm I THINK but could be wrong) pull out the compression damper assembly, throw it in the bin, fit new compression assembly, refit top cap & adjuster, job done.
