IM having a problem with the ifp valve on my 5th element shock on my enduro.
im trying to inflate it but as soon as i stop pumping on the pump the pressure is dropping straight away.
ive tried 2 different pumps and the affect is the same??
Ive also taken the valve out of the shock body to see if there was anything blocking it and its clean ??
The main shock body pumps up fine and does not leak??
anyone come across this problem before??
cheers

The IFP is a very small air chamber, when you re-attach the pump, the air in the IFP must pressurise the pump's hose and the guage. This may give the impression that the IFP has lost pressure.0

hi alex thanks for that.
however the pressure is dropping before i can even get the pump off the shock??
by the time i do get it off the reading is back at zero!!0 -
a seal has gone somewhere.
as the pumps work on other parts it will be srvice time."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
