you generally need more than one...

Which is what i suspect the initial service place did not do properly, they assumed it needed seals and that was it..

 

When servicing a fork, replace all the o-rings. They're not that expensive, they do wear, and it's almost impossible to tell just by looking at them unless they're actually disintegrating.

Looking at all comments no one has notice that the fork(air) could have been installed wrong or the air sleeve could be damage.

Oh gosh, we missed it.

OP, did you use a straw or a shock pump ?

[the nerd]

he must have installed the fork leg into the headset? Or backwards... or even forwards...

 

or it just wasnt serviced properly...

[Guest CHRIS001]

Thanks. I like the positivity. Looks like  you got it all sorted out. have a awesome bless day then .

Surely you mean Ur... we got it wrong?

 

Improper installation of the lowers after the service would, again, only be apparent once you (gosh) open the fork up again... 

 

Which has been suggested no less than (let me count) 4 times already

Sorry for highjack

 

I have a Rockshox Recon.  Noticed that the shox does not want to compress.  Had it serviced, worked fine, but after a while the same thing is happening (not riding a lot), seems that not using it for long periods has some contributing effect. 

 

Any advice

As the experts have said you really need to have a good look at it.  I would suspect the +ve seal or damage to the piston or top cap, because to my logic air is moving out from the +ve chamber, which will cause pull down as described.  Sudden failure of the -ve seal will often cause the wiper seal to pop out.  With +ve and no -ve air the fork will still operate.

Thanks everybody, I have been accused that I am imagining things. This made me fall twice now! I am going back to the shop tomorrow.

Apologies for the duplication ☺

[Skylark]

Wonder what the shop will say, these aren't very hard forks to work on are they?

 

Noticed on the seals(O-rings) in my Revelation internals the really vrot ones had a slightly flattened edge on them, if you opening everything up you may as well replace all the seals, O-rings are like R1 each..

Dont go back to that shop. They've already stuffed up and not done a proper job.
