Hi,

Hoping for some help, my bike knowledge isn't great.

I've got Radion air forks and they keep 'deflating', my friend has let me use his shock pump but after a couple of days they're flat.

Any idea what I should look at to work out the problem? Thanks.

    Pump them up again and check valve area for leaks with soapy water. Might be something as simple as the valve stem being loose or damaged.

    Failing that, it could be damaged, dry or just dirty seals in the air chamber - would need a full service to sort that out.

    Thanks, I'll give that a go over the weekend.

    I'm finding it difficult to find anybody local who services them.

    IIRC the older Raidons, 2-3 years, have the air and lockout in the same leg and the innards are a sealed unit. I have had some luck removing the unit and from the top of the leg and tightening it as it has a threaded join about halfway up
