Right guys, I have a cannondale Cx quick hybrid, and the other day I go to lock out the forks, and the spinning thing was really stiff, I just about got them to lock out, the suspension itself seems fine, just the lock out lever has gone stiff, iv sprayed some mo 94 on it, but not much difference has happened. Any ideas what might have caused this? Or how to fix it please?

Thanks

    Mo 94 is lubricant by the brand muc off, forks are from cannondale not sure of the exact model number. Just causing an issue as the lock out lever is sticking

    Take the lever off and see if it needs a bit of a clean underneath.

    Watch out for tiny ball bearings/spring that may be used inside.

    OK the main suspension spring won't fly out will it? Thanks for your help and assistance in this matter

    Nope, but might be a little ball bearing used to indicate the positions.
