Is it normal to loose air pressure in Rockshox forks over a couple of weeks
No IME
Nope, most likely a seals gone or just a bit mucky. If you're handy with bike maintenance it's not too hard to take apart, clean and reassemble, plenty of videos online, just might need the correct wt oil etc.
No, IME, but when I first got my Blutos they used to lose air while riding. Just needed the air spring re-greasing (it was virtually devoid of grease) - fine since.
Check the valve for leakage (spit on it and watch) before you go taking anything to bits.
[grandmother-sucking-eggs] They *will* lose pressure if you keep checking it though, as the gauge lets a little air out each time.[/grandmother-sucking-eggs]
My olds ones lost pressure over about 5 days and I traced it to a loose valve core on the positive spring. A core tightener only costs a couple of quid.
Only had them since May think I might have to get on to retailer/Rockshox. What do you think???
