Hi guys, first time poster here a relative bike mechanic newb. I have a pair of Rockshox Revelation u turn which have been working fine and dandy until today, they were bottoming out with relative ease and the pop lock wasn't erm locking anything. The top of the fork was rotating but not locking the fork out. Am I missing something and where should I start with regards to fault finding?
Many thanks for any help.

Air or coil forks? Damper needs servicing it seems though, kits available on ebay cheaply.0

will be dual air. when was the last time you checked the pressures?
but as above with the lock out needs a service."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Not that long ago, forgive my ignorance but can the air leak out?0

It can (shouldn't but can).Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

Thanks for the response so far. But i appear to have gone from bottoming out to locked solid. No idea what has happened but sending them to TF tuned might be the answer as I don't think there is anywhere near me in cambridge that can do this themselves?0

Sounds like hydraulic lockout - a damper seal has gone and all the oil has gone into the lower leg0
