Hi, I'm an experienced mechanic where roadbikes are concerned, but am rather clueless when it comes to MTB suspension. I have a pair of old Rockshox Judy SL Air forks and basically where you use a football adapter to pump air into the fork, the valve doesnt hold the air in. I take it is supposed to have a non return valve system, but its either missing or broken, I've taken the valve out and it looks like the non return part is missing. Is it possible to bodge it or maybe someone has an old spare valve? Any hepl/advice greatly appreciated.
If it moves, shoot it with a Cannon.......dale.

contact your LBS and they will be able to get you an new part from Fishers."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

You are using a proper shock pump right? The chambers on the shocks are very small, the slighest leak when you disconnect will emepty t out, you also need very fine control over the pressure.0

The Judy SL Air is designed to use a standard pump with a football adapter.If it moves, shoot it with a Cannon.......dale.0

Suunds like the valve has had it, and will need replacing. So as nick says really.0

I've been looking for the spare part online and found a replacment top cap with shradder valve for year 2000 onwards Sids, it looks like the thread is the same as the top cap on my Judy, anyone know if the valve will fit?If it moves, shoot it with a Cannon.......dale.0

Quite possibly, the SID and Judy did share a lot of similarly sized parts. I would drop SRAM tech a quick email though just to make sure.0
