New Reba Team forks fitted but...

So fitting the forks was pretty straight forward etc but now comes the fettling!
I was expecting the owners manual to explain a bit more than just the bloody warranty and a few other bits of info
So far I have tried adjusting the air pressure in the lower part but it all seems to piss out when I disconnect the pump? Is there a good guide with pics somewhere?

Are you using a proper shock pump? You should be able to unscrew it without any air leaking.
Here's a comprehensive manual, but it's for 2008: http://www.sram.com/_media/techdocs/95- ... 0print.pdf0 -
See why dont they have that bloody manual with the forks lol :P
And no, I dont have a proper shock pump so I guess I need to track one of those down? 0 -
1) you need a proper shock pump, you have to pump high pressures into low volumes
2) When you disconnect the shock pump there will be a slight hissing sound, the air in the pump itself escapes. if you want to check that the air isn't leaking from the forks pump the chambers up to a certain pressure, disconnect the pumo, then reconnect it, the value will have dropped a little owing to the air from the forks filling the pump.
The negative chamber is smaller i think, so the pressure drop when you reconnect seems larger0
