Hello Ladies and Germs,
On my joyful ride home this afternoon after some glorious overtime at ye-olde-work... I disembarked my precious lady to purchase the wonderful fluid known as Coke at a nearby store.
As I removed my lovely self from the bike, the fork compressed a little, then as I un-weighted them, I hear a clunk and my fork extends its travel by 40mm!
Previously I had 140mm of stanchion showing, now I have an enormous 180mm!
Furthermore, if I weight the fork it just sinks into the travel like it has a mere 40-50psi (my normal is around 90), reaches the 3/4 mark, clunks again, then sinks until the end of the travel.
Un-weighting it has no clunk when returning, but 'thumps' when it reaches the top.
Now, I don't know if it's related, but I had my fork serviced about a month ago... is it possible that something wasn't put back together quite right?
Did my damper shit itself?
Something else?
I just got my bike back after getting a pivot bearing change and was looking forward to a nice ride this Sunday, then this happens!
Any ideas or experiences with this, anybody?
How frustrating.
Here's a short video I made when I got home as an example of the problem.
