Fox says this has occurred with a handfull of forks, their fix is to swap out the top cap for a new one, some of which came off the line with not enough machining marks on the underside to avoid the adhesion. The first fix I mentioned was posted by Charles from Hammerhead and others have said it not only works, but is quite easy. People that have this problem usually say the knock happens during the first 1/2" inch of compression. |
