today it blew. allsk8sno had it since 03 i belive and it was fine. today i dropped a small rock in the woods and i noticed it had no rebound damping. i looked and there was oil all over. it appears to have come out where the compression adjust screw is. its too late to call romic right now but do you think they will hook my up? i am not the original owner. i know there are other threads about this. i will take it apart to an extent and look at it tomorrow, and if its something more than say an o-ring i will send it in. i hope the turnaround isnt too bad because mt snow is coming up.

 

[lovebunny]

call romic and ask for roger. explain your situation to him. hes usually pretty good with hooking up a rider in need. ive had excellent cs from romic

 

[oly]

I wouldnt take it apart. Just call Romic like LB said.

 

[1000-Oaks]

Romic was super about rebuilding mine after the rebound went south after just a few rides, even though I had owned the shock for over a year. I had it back so fast they must have fixed it the day it came in.

(Took out my knee just after I got the Romic and didn't start riding again until a year later. Sad but true.)

Manitou did the same thing on a Swinger SPV coil that started "sucking", looked to me like they might have even given me a new shock. (The one I sent back was basically new though, so it could have been the same one.)

Amazing service from both.

 

[legend_killer]

send it to romic soon cuz roger is head to snowshe next week

[mobius]

[mcA896]

[BUCKET]

I had similar problems with one older Romic. Check to see if the top eyelet (the rebound end of the shock) is loose on the shaft. At about a 1/2 turn loose you will lose all rebound control. Hope this helps.

 

[ChrisRobin]

He'll charge you about $40 or so.

Ditto that.

huh. thats funny. ive been running a romic on my bike for a while now and havent had any problems. and bb7s have really high leverage ratios so i dont see what your problem is. sure they had a bad batch a couple years ago but ever since then there shocks have been fine.

 

[foesjunky]

I've been waiting for my Romic for almost a month and a half now. Of course it took several tries just to get them to answer the damn phone. Hopefully Whistler will still be open by the time I get it.

Romic is a company that races what they make, During busy race months service is going to take a bit longer.

Well then he has one that was from the bad batch.

[mcA896]

does anyone know if romic is going to be at the Mt Snow Nat'ls? If i send out my shock i doubt i would have it back in time for the races. ill try to find someone i can borrow a shock from, then get mine fixed at mt snow if romic is there and willing

Are you talking about Derrick?

 

[Romic tech]

Hey Guys, The Romic trailer will not be going to the last 2 Norba races. If you need your shock serviced then call for an RA# and tell Brian that you need it back for the race and we will make it happen. I will be in Vermont but just to race. I will have some spare shocks so if you have a problem look for me.
Thanks
Roger@Romic

 

[dante]

Thanks Roger I will call tomorrow, and see what you can do. If nothing can be done before Mt. Snow, expect to see me looking to borrow a shock!
