Did a search, couldn't find anything so sorry if this is a repeat. I've got a F29 on my niner that on Monday very suddenly developed a bad case of very slow rebound. Pressure is normal for my weight, and sag seems appropriate, its just when the fork is compressed it returns VERY slowly. Also of note is the fact that the rebound setting knob never hits a "stop" and the lockout no longer functions correctly. According the the Fox website there are 12 "clicks" from stop to stop on the rebound adjustment. This makes me suspect that something mechanically has gone Tango Uniform. Ideas/thoughts? Money is a little tight right now and things are just starting to warm up, I'd prefer to not be without a bike right now.

does it have a lockout?

Yes and yes

 

[Pesqueeb]

Never mind. Just found a huge crack in the down tube of my frame. Words can not express my sorrow.

 

[Konabumm]

Yes and yes

Its possible that the lockout is stuck - I've had that happen to a friend.

Can't help with the frame, but I'd say that most likely the rebound shaft has broken down near the bottom where it's forked. Ha, and now it's forked.
That being said I pulled one apart today that had the same issue, but nothing was wrong internally. Put it back together and it works fine.
