This story starts with a classic opening - "so I bought a used but just rebuilt 2009 Boxxer WC that has been working fine until ..." ... until I crashed hard two weeks ago. Among other things, the fork got twisted (~ 20degs) but I managed to straighten it quite well and that is not my current problem. My problem is, I have no damping in the initial 1 1/2" of travel. When I max out the LSC that pretty much locks it out, I still can compress it 1 1/2" before it hits any resistance.
I worked on a few forks before but never on a Boxxer or any other DH fork. What could have possibly gone wrong with the damper? I can still ride the fork, it sits below the no-damping threshold when sagged, but feels a little harsher on small chatter. Compression and rebound controls seem to be working fine.
