spano Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Ok this is quite urgent and i hope not very serious... I just went for a mtb ride and on my way back i feel something is not right,, when I finally see what it is,, my shock (Reba Race)is fully "locked out" the poplock is not engaged, dont know what is wrong, but its rigid,, there is absolutely NO damping whatsoever.. what I tried is to remove all the air (+ and - sides ) and then pump it again and still nothing,, now i tempted to remove the poplock and see what is going on inside there????? Please help this is quite urgent,, I need it for the MTB Argus on Sunday!!!spano2009-02-25 11:44:10
Daniel XTR Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 have you tried to "overide the Poplock"? IE turn the knobby at the fork itself. I know my poplock jammed after fast1 and that did the trick
Guest Agteros Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 JB recently trained a whole group of people re servicing of shocks.... try him, or one of them
bustthesickness Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Hey Spano, there are technical documents for download up on the RockShox website. Goto www.sram.com. Would it really be a problem for the Argus though? Is it not a race on tar?
Daniel XTR Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I beleive he is doing Argus MTB if i read the post correctly? No?

[/quote'] thanks I got the tech docs already,, but I dont have everything i need to service the shox now,, and I dont want to mess with the wrong things.. There is mountain bike Argus aswell as the road Argus (more popular one)I'm doing both!! or were planning to,, but now with my shox???
spano Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 anyone? (sorry this is quite urgent for me... )
Johan Bornman Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 You will have to open that fork. One of the valves on the damper side are stuck in the closed position. The air side is the spring and the other side the damping, lockout etc. No use sending it to Cape Town for a service right now, they're too busy to move, with Sani and all that. You won't get it back in time. Find a shop that opens shox and fixes them in-house. Where in the North-West are you? Planning a Jhb trip later this week?
singletrackmind Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 i had this happen during the 1st day of sabie x last year... godd luck getting it fixed, mines been done 3 times and still siezes up...
spano Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 thanks guy,, this is not good news... hope someone here in Potch knows something about Rock shox...
KDEE Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 JHB is not far from Potch... take a drive to Johan and get it fixed Spano.. Cant imagine there too many RockShox clever shops in Potch...?

I sent him a pm, waiting to hear if he'll be able to help me tomorrow.. but thanks.. I wish I could do the race rigid, but i will be riding myself into the hospital,,, I'm still "recovering" from a shoulder operation,,
