Shitty. Well, I wish you all the best with your hunting expedition.
Just put the fork back on and test rode for a fourth time and, bang, blew the seal off again.
FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not taking any responsibility for this. Leave Me out.I would just like to have a quick chat with you, brother.
of course he knows it...just look at the guyYou know that coil is The Way.
Try it now?
Hows that happening? From what I saw in my pike, its just some tubes in some tubes with some air for extra pleasure.
Grease/oil in the seal bed?
Is it blowing out on the air side or damper?

Air side keeps popping off. The innerwebs says it's air leaking into or creating a vacuum and has to be burped or some shit.
Apparently this is the "fix"
Also should note that I used PM600 grease instead of Sram Butter. It was left over from servicing a Revelation as per Rockshox recommendations. Not sure if that could be the cause or not. Either way going for attempt number five.
I see that you too have been touched by his sproingy appendage.My new coil fork is very non-air-forkey.
I only use that stuff on the coil in my Boxxer, might be too sticky inside an air chamber. Slicky Honey used inside air forks for me.
If I had Slick Honey or Sram's branded version, I'd have used it. PM600 worked fine on the Revelation which is what they recommended.
Really need to make an order for basic stuff like that and a roll of shifter housing, etc.
Was able to re-seat the dust seal without taking everything apart. Huge time saver this go-around. Removed the valve core and could not push the fork all the way down. Did the zip-tie burp trick and aired up the fork. It takes way more psi to set the sag now. It was down to 15psi. No bang sound on any of the test rides. Not 100% but seems to be holding.
Will definitely do some local rides before heading out on any long solo backcountry Pisgah epics.

Trail bike is waiting on parts, so headed out with the wife on our HT's loaded up for a 63 mile loop, topped out at 11200ft and found a new trail we can incorporate into other rides too.
Now waiting on pork tenderloin ftw.

Pkkkk
Just heard a pop, looked over and saw the seal just blew off. The bike was just sitting there.
Aaaaaaaaaggggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How are the east coast roxx?
L .Ccc x 767 7 7. Y
Not enough roxx today. Have to get more coastal next time.
Yeah, condoms suck.
Speaking of riding, the Firebird was a mixed bag. WAAAAY to fucking long for me (reach of 445, and I think the rocky is too long for me at 430). However, really great climber, and stable as fuck in the chunder. It's is a great bike for someone, just not me.
I was talking about Sushi, ya perv
