Oct 14, 2003 10:29 AM | | Just changed the travel from 100mm to 125mm and now the fork has a problem - if you try and over extend the fork (pull the sliders all the way out and pull a bit more) the fork "sticks" with a clunk and about .25" extra movement. It feels as though there's too much movement in the fork somehow. Strange thing is it FEELS as though the movement is in the damping leg but all I did was snap an extra spacer into place on that side! Actually compressing the fork in the normal way is stiffer than I think it should be, with a noticeable "lump" in the travel approx half way down.
Does anyone know what could be wrong that could cause this symptom - I must have done something during the travel change procedure, but I've done this before and it's worked fine. The nut at the bottom of the spring side is tight by the way, that's the first thing I checked...

Going from 100mm to 125mm requires removing the spring side and moving the 25mm spacer from the bottom to the top. On the damping side, add a 25mm spacer (this is the spacer that is not included with the fork in 100mm mode). Oil doesn't need to be removed from the damping side to add the spacer. Only the spring side needs to be removed to move the spacer. From what you are describing, you seem to have overlooked something. There's a picture in the manual on page 16.
