    Nah i doubt its poss to push em back too far, sounds like air has entered somehow.
    Little bit of brake fluid should have been enough to lube and free the pistons.

    Pushed the pistons out too far maybe? lost fluid from system etc?

    Hi mate, from what i can see your fork takes 10 wt as its the 150mm model,just found something on fox site.
    The volumes are 165ml in damper side and 30ml in spring side.
    There is no mention of a 150mm float rl in 2009 but there is one under 2010, im guessing yours is the same as that.
    look here:

    Rear was only 1300 ish which was no good, spoke to them and they were very unhelpfull, told me workshop was very busy and could'nt give me any clue how long it would take too sort out, this was after about 2 weeks of no brakes. told them not to bother and bought them elswhere.
    Cheap but crap service in my experience on a few diff things not just the brakes.

    Bent mine quite a way and they're still solid, use a piece of tubing on the lever carefully.
    Not sure you can buy just the lever blade??

    Yeah the coil forks sometimes still have 2 air chambers, but if its only got 1 they must have dropped the one which controls oil volume in that fork.

    have they only got the 1 air chamber then?
    But yes the little red compression dial does both high and low speed.

    Top coil side leg has air preload, rc3 damper side has high and low compression on bottom, top has air chamber for increasing oil volume.
    I think anyway!

    Maybe wrong but im sure you need 15 ml oil not 5ml in lowers as a lube for bushes, seals etc?

    As jammy said, damper cart seal has blown leaking oil into lowers causing the bottoming out feeling

    As long as the plaster is dry you can paint it, a week should be fine this time of year!

    Try adding some from the caliper up over with a syringe, just let a little come out of the lever end.
    edit: dont forget to remove the air in it 1st

    I have them and as said suited best to ligther riders, im only 10.5 stone kitted out 11 max. i dont need any preload, just a little in the cartridge for the damping. They are really very plush with no pedal bob or brake dive when set up correctly (which takes a while).
    I like them especially for the price you can get em for now, there is also no bull**** with warrenty and hourly services.

    The 55 rc3s are really good, as long as your not a fat bifter and need use too much air to asisst the spring. very nice fork imho

    open the reservoir cap then try, make sure you spin the lever so that is level
    edit: use the old pads in place to push them back

    Its worth adding that a medium pitch will prob be too big, im 5.6 and ride a small pitch (also had a med).
    I love mine and use it for everything no problem.
    unless she's very long in the upper body i'd try a small pitch if thats what you decide to get.

    The seal kit will still fit, well mine did on some pikes which were exactly like that.
    The new kit will have a smaller foam seal in

    Did the same on mine, i just put one between bolt and adaptor instead of two. As long as there is two between adaptor and caliper its works ok.
    Sorry cant help with where to buy them.
