I have a problem with a Rock Shox 120 mm on a 26 er. This shock has been serviced three times, most recently three months ago. The age of the shock is around 8 years, it looks in good condition. It was ridden by myself for three years, then the past five years been on various bikes that are not ridden much. In that time it was couriered twice to Cape Town and a service done there by the agents. The problem is that one to two months after the service is complete, the shock does not rebound after it warms up a bit. By warming up I mean riding for 20 minutes or so. If you ride down any hill, the shock will slowly sink to the bottom and does not rebound at all. If you stop and take all the pressure off the shock, then it does rebound. At the moment my wife is riding the bike and is pretty soft on the bike. I have attached a pic of the shock in its normal riding state. The shock will sit like this the entire ride with about 2 cm of travel showing. I am ready to try one last mechanical intervention before I toss the shock into the bin. Are there any suggestions?
