As per title really. Went to use my bike yesterday (first time in about aweek) and I'm unable to turn the travel adjuster on my Pikes. Its stuck at 120mm
Haven't damaged it in any way and just been doing the normal run of the mill trail stuff, nothing heavy. Bike is a Pitch Pro. The forks havent been serviced and I've had the bike just over 12mnths.
The forks still rebound just cant adjust the travel.
Probably due a service? Is warranty an issue? Local LBS said possibly send em to Fisher Outdoor

Cheers all

    have a look in the FAQs as there is a fix in there for the U turn.

    Cheers Nick

    Just clocked it under the heading 'Revelation u-turn stiff'

    Will give that a go and see if does the trick

    Had the same problem myself found taking the bolt out the top and lubing (and replacing if necessary) the 3 ball bearings under the cap works a treat

    Well took the cap off and you guessed it, 3 rusty greaseless ball bearings! Quick wipe and grease and Roberts your fathers brother, travel adjuster working fine now.

    Cheers for the quick and helpful advice Nick and RIKO, much appreciated :)

    Must check the FAQs more thoroughly though next time :oops:
