Very odd event today, went from 120mm travel to about 70mm.
Checked pressures when home and all OK, Released all pressure, top leg pumped up first and then lower leg and hey presto, back to 120mm. Any ideas?

Air moving between chambers because of a wonky o-ring somewhere. A service needed if it's persistent

Putting too much air into the negative spring?

I did change all the o-rings recently and fork leg seals. (10 rides ago).
If this persists - It's about time I used LoCo from here.
Both pressures were exactly where I had put them a few rides back.

But if air had leaked from pos to neg chamber the pressure reading would be down in the positive .

Reduction in volume would have maintained pressure.

Ok, how do I fix these?
Or How do I send them to LoCo?
