|   00' x-fly loosing air | marzz
Sep 3, 2002 11:39 AM | | ....So I was flying down this sweet singletrack when a low hanging branch came out of nowhere forcing me to duck at the last second and loose my line. as I ducked out if the way my front tire hit a rock sitting right in the middle of the trail, my handlebars turned 90 degrees, my wheel dug into the dirt sideways and I flew superman style over my bike landing some 15 feet down the trail. I got up bruised and shaken up but ok. Few days later I noticed that my fork felt way too soft. turns out that my left fork leg lost air, the right one is fine though. what could be the problem? is it something that I can fix myself or should I just have my LBS have a look? (I went as far a s changing the oil in the thing)...did anyone have a similar experiance with their fork. |

I sent it in to Marz. USA and they installed an upgraded seal kit. It's worked perfectly ever since. Doesn't lose air over months of use.
