You ain't kidding. Travel was reduced to 50% by the end of the ride...

Now whenever he sets it to full travel it lasts for about 10 seconds before slinking back down to no travel.... :p

is that before or after the "tire clearance upgrade"?
It didn't even require an upgrade, this is the IT function malfunctioning.

I always wonder about systems like that DSR, like the original marzocchi ECC, it seemed like EVERYONE that had it eventually had problems with it creaping up, like it was going to fail eventually no matter what. I have to wonder about the IT and even when it's working how long it's really supposed to last.

Over your shoulder whispering
Teammate of mine made the mistake of riding his new Dorado in the mud(the 2002 model) without "lubing" the stanchions. He was down to 2 inches of travel come race time.
2nd teammate the same year was at Snowshoe and felt kinda tired from what he said was "arm pump". He had never, ever complained of that before so I pressed down on his fork...it moved 2-3 inches max. He's a sick ripper who can ride a can of beans at turbo.... :D :D :D : D: :D: :D: D:D:D :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
