After 8 months of absolute battering my Giant Trance's own brand shock just can hold pressure!!! :(

Went for a nice and light XC ride today and twice i had to pump the shock up to my relatively low 135psi pressure and the first time dropped to 50psi and the second time 90psi. Have the seals gone???

I love the shock it is equally as good as my dads rp23 so i am not keen on upgrading so I was hoping to rebuild and replace the seals as it is the only real reason i can think of the dramatic pressure loss.

Any help or your experiences would be great plus an links for rebuilding it I believe its a NRS shock.

Cheers

    Yep, bought band new so I will call the dealer on Monday and see what they say I am pretty sure forks and shock were 1 year and frame was 10 so we will see.

    done 1500 miles in 8months around Cumbria and the Lakes so not flat stuff!!!

    I thought service two putting new forks on and wheel set on in a few weeks so I might make it last until then and service the seals.
