Fox 32 Float RL - Lockout not working.

poltheball

erm, this may be a stupid question :P

my 32 Float RL's (air fork) have been sat in the garage since before christmas, going through the cold Scottish winter :?

haven't been used at all as they've been waiting to be built into my new bike..

when they first arrived i had a fiddle to check everything worked fine, and it was all okay, the lockout locked out the fork as you'd expect.

but now, when i flick the lockout fully on, it makes absolutely no difference as to how much i can compress the fork.

is this just due to it sitting through winter and now summery weather?

it didn't come with a shock pump, but i'm guessing it just needs pumped back up..

advice please, you can probably tell i haven't really got a clue what i'm talking about here

cheers

ok make sure its air'd up first, then cycle it properly on the bike (lock outs take a little time to lock if left for ages as the oil needs to find its way back in). if this doesn't work then the lock out could be bust mine did this once while I was out on the trails; could hear a knocking inside it; Fox sorted it with a service but then thats not cheap ! maybe the only way tho....give it a dam good few cycles first before sending it off !

if it's broken i'm not going to be happy :L

it was bought brand new off of CRC..

but heyho. i'll give that a try, thanks.

if that doesn't work then i'll get my lbs to have a look, and then probably send it to fox or mojo if they can't help

cheers
