I haven't ridden my bike for a few months due to injury, i store the bike hanging in a vertical position from the front wheel, recently got back on the bike and the PIKES are bottoming out really easy. Checked the pressure and the settings and all the same, and i weigh the same, any ideas why this would be???
A few months off the bike = you're a chubbier version of yourself? 😉
ALL OF THE SHOUTING?
Store it the correct way up for a few days, I might be making this up but I'm sure I heard that the damping oil can all run to the wrong side of the circuit when stored upside down or vertically for a long period of time.
OH NO POOR YOU
WHY SO LOUD???
On a more serious note, let all the air out and pump back up, my SIDs needed that a year ago after sitting for a while
Suspect the oil is needing time to move to where it should be rather than where it has been sitting last few months. Stand the bike up properly and leave it for a half hour. Then empty the air and reset to desired air pressure. Give the forks several cycles to get things moving as intended and all should improve.
Hi guys, i have had a play with the forks, let all the air out fitted two tokens, pumped them back up to the correct pressure to give me 20% sag. Had a little test ride and they seem to be sitting pretty deep in the travel. And are also noticeably soft. I weigh 63kg, running two tokens and 50 psi, does this seem right? would playing with the low speed compression have any effect? They are the RCT3 model.
WHO ATE ALL THE PIES?
I'd be tempted to do a lowers service, 10ml each side.
