|   Fork Not Getting Full Travel... | Richard
Nov 7, 2002 3:59 PM | | I have a 2001 Rock Shox Psylo XC. I don't think I'm getting the full travel out of it. Looking at the lines left by the dust/dirt, I'm only getting 3-3.5 inches of travel. I've tried everything except actually getting into the insides of the fork.
Any ideas on what might be causing this? Any remedies? |

Shouldn't I be able to get close to full extension by just pressing hard on the fork with the front brake locked?? |

Nov 8, 2002 7:34 AM | | by locking up the brake and "jumping up and down", your forks WAY too under sprung. |

Nov 8, 2002 9:21 AM | | do what I (and many others I've asked) do: aim at all the biggest trail obstacles, and shove down on the bike when you hit them! Now that you have an FS, you're supposed to ride like a sack of wet cement, right?

If there is too much oil in the rebound side of your fork, the fork will not fully compress . You need to put on a zip tie and go do some 3-5 foot drops, then see how much travel you get after really trying to compress the fork. |
