my 36's arent at150mm travel. i measured them at 137mm. i know air forks dont tend 2 get ful travel but is this normal? the travel adjust is wound ful out.

What have you measured, exposed stanchion or used a tie wrap and gone riding, and measured the displacement? Yours is the Talas version then?

clarkson

exposed stanchion up to the dust line after bottoming the forks out by letting the air out. all the travel was used. yes, mine i the talas version.

clarkson

have had the fork sent off because of oil leaking from the travel adjuster. could this have anything to do with it?

supersonic

Posssibly, the tech brains will crack em open anf find out.

clarkson

hope so!! might worry me otherwise!!

With the TALAS forks, after adjusting them down, you need to cycle the fork a few times when you restore them to the full travel setting again, to allow oil in the system to work it's way back into position. Then they'll measure at their full height.

The oil leak may be due to the helix in the TALAS adjuster not working properly. There have been some issues with this on TALAS 2 models.
Mojo can easily fix it.

so with less oil in it, would the travel decrease?
