Hi,
I have a set of Pike U-turn Air forks on my 2009 Wolf Ridge that i've had for 10 months.
I'm having trouble with the forks 'packing down' on a ride. I set the positive air pressure to give me approx 35mm sag, then set the negative air to 5psi under the positive pressure reading then set the rebound adjust.
On the trail i find the forks are packing down to get shorter and shorter.
I've noticed that the forks have a tendency to 'suck' the travel down unless i set them to a negative pressure of at least 15psi less than the positive, thing is they then don't have the bump response i want.
When i've set the forks to how i would like them to operate i find that the tend to sit around the 125mm mark, and that i have to physically pull the fork travel back out by hand - it's like they have way too much 'stiction'.
What am i doing wrong?
Rebound set too slow
Tried that, even with the rebound set to it's fastest setting its still packing down 🙁
is it leaking oil ? Not enough oil can cuase this iirc
Hasn't leaked any that i can see, maybe need a service/oil change?
Positive air staying as set? Leaking positive air allows the negative to pull the fork into the travel.
