Hi,
This is one for anyone familiar with the internals of Fox forks...
I've got a 07 Fox Float RL fork. The lockout kinda works, but the forks slowly compress.
I traced it to an o-ring halfway down the damper assembly inside the damper leg. With the bottom of assembly sitting in a cup of oil, I cycled it a few times to fill the insides with oil. Then I closed the Lockout lever, and pressed down. Oil stops flowing from the top of the assembly, so the lockout mech seems to work. But oil now comes from behind an o-ring halfway down the assembly. I guess this acts as a "blow-off" valve, but I'm thinking the 0ring may have relaxed over time, and allowing oil flow at too low pressure.
Does anyone know what I'm on about? Any recommendations? I guess I could replace the o-ring with a new one from an o-ring shop, but an worried that if the new one is too tight it won't blow-off when needed.
Cheers
Chris
