Just been trying to adjust my '08 Reba SLs, everything was going fine and was trying diff +/- and compression damping settings. Then all of a sudden after taking my pump off the + valve the air just kept pissing out. Any idea what might be causing this? Broken valve?

Personally i am a suspension n00b so have not got a clue :shock:

    remove the valve core and clean it. there replace and set the air.

    if that does not work you may just have a pump that does not like the valve. but if it worked before....

    Just had a closer look and it turns out the valve core had worked its way loose somehow. Crisis over :wink:

    Just bought a core removal tool in case it happens again tho as the core is ony tightened up with some flimsy tweezers as thats all i could get in there!
