Just noticed today after not being out on my bike for a week :o that when I compress my forks they click about 115mm through the travel. Any one know what it might be and how I can solve it? Forks are RS Domain 318 U-turns.
Cheers

    Take it nobody knows then. Anyone know what I can do to try and find the problem then? I may need to send them off for a service?

    Might be the spring rubbing on the inside of the stanchion.

    Is that something I can fix and is there a guide to servicing RS Domains on the net?
    Thanks :)

    Ahh just reading rock shox bushing service guide and it says the symptoms of worn bushings are the feeling of a loose headset and the important one 'the fork knocking when riden'. So maybe I need new bushings becuase it sounds like a knocking kind of click when I compress my forks, plus the headset was starting to feel loose even though i'd tightened it pretty tight?
    Edit: Reading on and maybe it's not the bushings... I've not had the forks for that long (since about mid may).

    They're not exactly old (about 2 1/2 months) and no it just seemed to have started after leaving the bike standing for a week... I've now contacted Rock Shox and will see what they say.
