I have a set of these,they turn out at a maximum of 140mm.
Just realised the fork will not come out past the 110 marker.
The fork has done very little work,as the bike has probably only been ridden a dozen times sice ive had it,last ride the Wentworth 50.

I have the + and - chambers set to my weight of 196lbs ,but thinking of it I have never seen the 125 - 140 marker on the side of the anodised fork, even though i have them turned right out. I have today as i was checking the pressure and kept my foot on the wheel and pulled the fork up and just glimpsed the 125 marker..

I hope they dont need a service as theyve not had any use really..
Any advice would be welcome,

    have a read of the Dual air problems post in the FAQs.

    also how much sag do you get?

    and will the fork fully compress with no air in it?

    Just had a read of the FAQ's.
    No gap on the stantion after the pressure was released.
    just pent an hour setting them back up,seem to be ok after a short ride this morning,just have to keep an eye on them,dont really fancy the £200 TFtuned service.
    Hoping its just that the bike is not used alot and the pressure was low.
    Thanks
