Rochshox SID Not locking out properly

swardchill

Hi title says it all, I am no expert with the mechanics of bikes, just riding. My SID's when I lock them out still have quite alot of movement. They have been like it for about a month. I have bought a shock pump incase its the pressure but would appreciate any advice before I try to fix it myself which will no doubt end in disaster knowing my luck. Would a service be a better option as the bike is almost a year old but not been battered over that time? Cheers in advance

I don't know much about forks ... but what model? And poploc or is the lockout on the fork crown?

supersonic

Also how old are they?

I have not touched the forks at all, to pressure alts as I am waiting for my mate to show me as he was going to when I bought him his cube on my credit card but guess what, still waiting. cheers. You have totally lost me with the flood gate quote, it does wheeze a little when i press down if that is an indication of anything?

How much does the fork move when locked out? A centimetre ish would be normal.
