Fox Float 140 RLC

Just arrived today and not yet installed, but having put some air in them, it took a bit of effort to get them moving (lot of stiction) and unless I pump them up to 100psi, they don't rebound fully.

Is this normal with these forks? Will they be ok once I install them and take them for a ride?

Ta.

I'd say there prob fine. Back the comp adjuster all the way off anti-clockwise an put em upside down over night- then in the morning set rebound to full slow and cycle the fork through its travel 15-20 times (to get all the oil back into the cartridge) then set to normal rebound speed 0-5 clicks from full slow depending on psi for your weight. An see how it feels

Found this with my 09 36's - nice and plush now though.

Cheers guys.
