I have two mtb bikes, each fitted with rockshox forks with the remote poploc.
However the poplocs on both bikes do not return automatically when released, figure the return spring in the damper is bust.
What alternative adjuster can I use to replace both these poplocs on my bikes.
Do I need the climb it control adjuster knob from tftuned.
Forks are recon sl and reba race dual air.

    remove the cable from the adjuster. does it spring back ok?

    If yes clean/lube/replace the cable inner/outer.

    Thanks but done that. Stripped poploc down and cleaned. seems a pain that both forks have same prob with poploc. Can I replace the poploc with a manual adjuster if I find springs kaputt.

    you can remove the spring and fit a friction top to the fork.

    or the standard pop lock either on or off no adjust like the push lock both need the spring.

    but i would be cleaning out what you have.

    nicklouse I have cleaned and relubed to no avail. been looking on tftuned webby, they have motion control knob kit. would this kit be all I need for the rebas if I were to remove the poploc.
