MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
hey i used my new x fusion hilo for the first time today, must admit it seems pretty solid, it was quite slow returning to full travel, so when i got home i decided to check the pressure was ok, upon adding the fox shock pump some oil spurted out (not much mind), i then depressed the lever and set it to 25 psi, however now when i drop the post the full 4 inches once i get off the seat comes back up say a quarter of a inch and locks then as normal, it does this in every position not just at the very bottom, say i drop it 2 inches it will travel back up 1/4 inch then lock...just wondered if you had any issues with this? the strange thing is now ive done the pressure to 25 it now goes back up super smooth with no delay....so its faster retracting but now doesnt seem to want to stay locked and rises a 1/4 ich each time....when fully extended its totally solid and locked out so thats good at least...
could the oil that came out be the problem?? do i need to put more air in than the said 25psi?
any ideas folks?
did you add more pressure while holding it upside down and depressing the lever?
are you using the remote or the lever to drop it? when i first put the remote on mine wouldnt stay down and it was purely a case of getting the cable tension right
just the lever version for me - yep upside down and lever depressed whilst adding more....
as i mentioned above the return to fully extended has now gone super smooth.......
mine is showing about the same amount of shaft as this pic, but i dont know if thats normal or not, or whether it should reach the bottom without any shaft showing?

as you can see in lekus second picture the remaining 1/4 inch of the shaft is showing, im not sure if that is how its suppose to be or not, as if it is then mine is fine....
seatpost clamp tightness has an impacton the rebound speed
