How often do you pump up you fork?

rapid_donkey

Ive got a Raidon X2 air fork. I run it about 140psi, and have to top it up every week or two. Its never dropped below 100psi. Is it normal to lose a bit of air over time?

Every time I check the pressure. So every ride.

I've never had to add pressure in the two years I've had my bike.

Out of interest how do you know? Once you add a pump/gauge you lose some...

thats a lot of air you have in your forks , i have raidons on my bike and run them on 90 psi and im 14st ish .

If it feels like the sag has changed, or I've dropped the pressure for the terrain somewhere and need to pump it back up.

i.e. rarely.

and yeah, 140 sounds a lot for forks. Depends on the forks and your weight etc though. Ignore the PSI and go by sag instead.

Only if sag has changed. Don't keep checking pressure, check sag. As you connect the pump, you lose some air.

I have a fox 36 talas. I've never known them to loose pressure (3 years) despite regular checks when I do maintenence or perhaps tinkering from a ride feel point of view.

Yeah same here... Had my bike 1 year and a bit never pumped up the shock...
