probably an air seal blown in uturn system (the 2010 uturn is a pain) and caused wiper to blow out, so service would be a good idea.

a coil conversion is an alternative as well

I’d fix ’em and keep ’em personally, best travel adjustable fork ever made (that isn’t a coil Lyrik). A 2010 fork’s always likely to need servicing now. I’d chase the seller for money too, mind.

Honestly, I know it’s not quite as reliable as the version before (I’ve had a set since 2010, they’ve needed more attention than I’d like- which is why I just bought a sektor coil off you now that I don’t use the uturn 😉 ) but it went out of production for the same reason most of the other uturns did, fashion. Now it’s all this 2-position bollocks and machining/replacing parts to change fixed lengths, steps back imo.

Oh but while you’re on the the thread though, do you mind me asking a question? See this red sektor coil? It’s got black wraps on, unlike all the other red coils I’ve had which have been… dur… red. Which either means a) it’s the wrong coil or b) actually for some reason medium sektor coils have black wraps on. WHich probably means the other coil I have is also a medium. I think it’s probably B, which is a pain in the arse! But if it is, how do you easily tell what spring rate these are as a punter?

Mine have done it once, had the seals changed under warranty and been fine ever since. It’s the best fork I own.

@northwind, a coil spring from us will usually have had heat shrink put on it to keep noise down from rattling on inside of the leg, have to be a bit careful where you put it so doesn’t foul DP or uturn system though.
Spring rate is based on colour of the paint on the coils.
Main issue with the 150mm uturn air system is if the tube air tube is damaged it’s a bit pricey to fix as the helix is swaged into the top of the tube and there are quite a few seals that can cause issues if the system is playing up so a pain/exspensive to fix sometimes
