The saga continues with my suspension fork …..
Got a call from the boys at Malaga Cycles Saturday morning. They received and fitted the compression damper Friday arvo, then pumped up the fork. Got in Saturday morning, and no air left in fork. Re-stripped it down and found that the press-fit fitting at the bottom of the air cylinder is leaking air - fu@#^**^%%$$!!!
And, it turns out the original compression damper fitted to my fork was the WRONG ONE - me thinks my fork was built on a Friday arvo before a long weekend!!
That is 3 separate and individual catastrophic failures on a single fork at the same time. Never before seen by Malaga Cycles, who are a Rockshox dealer. The nice boys at MC lent me a fork so I can at least ride (Tora 318 solo air - heavy but working, at least).
The boys will get onto the Rockshox rep this morning and see what they can do. According to them there are 3 possibilities.
1. Brand new fork sent my way, for the pain and angst cause by what looks like a factory f*ck up.
2. Brand new replacement bits sent my way, at no cost.
3. Two fingers raised in my general direction, because I bought the bike 2 years ago.
Will keep you posted ...
