JScottP Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 Went for a ride yesterday and the rear felt locked out no matter what position I put the shock in, so used a small Allan key to remove some air and repump when I got a squirt of this foamy liquid stuff? What would cause this?
MrJacques Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 I'm guessing it has a damaged seal and needs a service.
dasilvarsa Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 Looks like water mixed in the Oil as well. Deserves a service.Water in the air chamber would make it feel "woody".
Me rida my bicycle Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 It's oil never a good idea to try release pressure with anything other than a shock pump because the rear shock pressure is so hi pushing on the valve could let all the air out in a second and with that the little bit of oil and it could damage the seals. Pump it up again and see if it feels better but best to have a expert look at it.
droo Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 Service time... There are a number of things that could be going on here, and a rebuild will sort most of them out.
