Fox shock servicing

You don't say what would happen to the lever position if you keep on riding and locking out....does it move over to the left completely and thus eventually run out of sweep? That's not important' date=' just thinking aloud.

Yes it did eventuall run out of sweep, but after the service it is all fixed now. However it does not lock properly now. So it has it's sweep back but even fully locked, there is still movement on the shock

 

OK, now I understand. Most forks have a little bit of movement in lockout position. Even fluid is slightly compressible and there is flex of the internal components under pressure.

 

The only way to get it solid is to make a mechanical lockout and this will be noisy and full of lash and other nasties.

 

Basically, lockout always has a soft edge.
