theres your problem
If you can't find another solution, I find drinking more beer helps alot, you usually don't notice wtf your bike is doing if you're drunk enough.
2011. I met a guy today who said he's seen some problems with that happening before.
It's whistler. Drink moar beer and ****ithuckit.
I´ve had 3 rockshox shocks over the last 2 years.
I've had a Totem, a Lyric, and a Boxxer.
but their customer service is good!
did you try repairing them? just guesses, but all that stuff sounds like normal things to address on a bike.
leaking rebound seal, seals lasting 6 months and having to rebleed a fork is normal wear and tear? oh thats right, its a RS product
Agreed, although it depends on how often you ride. MTBers seem to expect that forks/shocks will work flawlessly forever and rarely service them. Check the service intervals in your manual folks, they are there for a reason. MX has this figured out.
no ****!leaking rebound seal, seals lasting 6 months and having to rebleed a fork is normal wear and tear? oh thats right, its a RS product
I'm insulted that you think I'm settling...."it's true you know"
you are right. nobody has ever had an issue, ever, with a marzocchi, fox, manitou, etc.leaking rebound seal, seals lasting 6 months and having to rebleed a fork is normal wear and tear? oh thats right, its a RS product
does it say to replace the seals that often, or the need to re-bleed the system, or to replace "worn rebound seal?" no it doesnt.
no one ever said any other mfg has never had issues....but no other mfg has had so many issues across almost their ENTIRE line, like RS has.
even crazier to think this is an IMPROVEMENT over what their stuff was before sram bought themno one ever said any other mfg has never had issues....but no other mfg has had so many issues across almost their ENTIRE line, like RS has.
thank god for good CS
i've got an '08 fox 40... has none of those issues. yea, i've blown the cart (once) and had to get it rebuilt. i'm running enduro seals now. big improvement over the stock seals, but even the stock ones never "pissed oil".
sounds like a design flaw. you should warranty yourself when you get home.
He posts on ridemonkey. Warranties don't cover "abuse"
Called slick honey and they were sooper cool bro. New syringe in the mail!
I get stoked every time I hear about a shop that knows how to work on suspension.
Um guys.....guys.....read a few posts above. I pulled the fork apart yesterday morning and fixed it.
I rode it all day yesterday (like 7 hours) and no problems. It was definitely too much of the lubricating oil and slick honey goo on the top of the piston blocking the valve at topout.
Scott: I pulled the whole air spring apart, snap ring and all. If this happens again I'll try it your way....sounds MUCH easier. Having the piston in hand though, I could be sure the valve was clear at least. I literally blew out a glob of grease when I cleaned it.
Like I mentioned above, I think I just had too much grease in there on the piston that wasn't allowing the oil to clear the valve. When it stuck down a bit and I yanked on it, the topout/negative chamber equalized with the main chamber but couldn't work the other way. It's all good now. Thanks for all the help.
