STRADA Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 I have a Merida with Fox 36Talas 160 R-OB 20 Taper, it, used to have 3 settings, 100mm, 130mm and 160mm. It now only runs 160mm permanently the other 2 settings are not working at all. I have tried to release all pressure and re-pressure, to no avail. Anyone have an idea as to what could be the problem?
nickelass Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 System works with oil in a closed chamber,presuming the nothing is wrong with your lever,at the top.I would think it would be this,they are complicated to work on,recommend you take it to a fox agent.
DR ◣◢ Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 I can highly recommend 4barLinkage on the forum to assist with fork services and setups.
CAAD4 Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 JB also services TALAS forks. He has the specific tool required..
STRADA Posted September 17, 2012 Author Posted September 17, 2012 yeah look I would never try to fix it myself, I just wondered what it could be, would I have to buy a new shock, this is my worry.
RockCoach Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 I have a Merida with Fox 36Talas 160 R-OB 20 What Merida frame are you riding? It now only runs 160mm permanently the other 2 settings are not working at all. I don't see too much of a problem here. Most of the time I forget that I can decrease travel from 150mm to 130 or 110mm if I wanted to.

STRADA Posted September 17, 2012 Author Posted September 17, 2012 Nice. Thanks Man, it's a sweet ride.
RockCoach Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 So keeping it on 160mm is not a problem? No. Was tongue in cheek reffering to my preferred riding style. I think you should get it checked out. I completely agree with SIR M's post above. I was there over the weekend when 4barlinkage sorted 2 issues on his Reba in less than 5 minutes flat. DR ◣◢ 1
STRADA Posted September 17, 2012 Author Posted September 17, 2012 I have it at the shop at the moment, hopefully it can get sorted, else I need to get hold of the people listed, would not know where to start to get hold of them.
RockCoach Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Thanks Man, it's a sweet ride. I haven't tested one yet but I'm fully in favour of increasing the number of long travel bikes in SA. Edit: that looks sweet. Edited September 17, 2012 by slick

The two little things he sorted completely changed the fork and the bike. Unbelievable difference.!. RockCoach 1

He is amazing to watch at the water points on the major stage races - how quickly he can repair a problem and get okes going - even without all the spares.
