Also helped @Chadvdw67 open up the bushings on his Lyrik. See this thread: https://www.mtbr.com/threads/tight-bushings-harshness.1129699/ Do you have the tool required? Would be very intrigued to see what difference it could make to my Pike
Marcv Posted December 27, 2021 Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Hi I had this once on Fox fork and after changing many of the parts i concluded it was a bent air spring rod. Not sure i was right but it solved the problem. Just out of interest, it you reduce the air pressure to something low does it still stick? and does it stick through the entire travel or just the beginning? Good luck Edited December 27, 2021 by Marcv wrong word

Unfortunately the air spring has already been eliminated, it's the same with a brand new one. It sticks regardless of the pressure and all the way through.

If he reckons it's worth going the bushing shaving route, I'll let you know (thanks for the offer!)... thebob 1
Nuffy Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 Did you and @droo get this resolved, @LazyTrailRider? I’m just curious what the outcome was.

Droo did a full service including the damper and reckoned that the only remaining culprit would be the bushings. It unfortunately didn’t make much difference so the lowers are now being replaced under warranty. Will update here when I get it back. Nuffy 1
LazyTrailRider Posted February 3, 2022 Author Posted February 3, 2022 CCS were nice enough to replace both the lowers and CSU (it was starting to click) under warranty. Got it back this afternoon, waaaay smoother than it was, even though it will probably get even better after a bit of running in. I'm happy again. Chadvdw67, Jewbacca, Nuffy and 1 other 4

You get the black or the red back?
