I have an XFusion H3 on my GT Force and I noticed one day the air can had turned almost 90 degrees. I was very hard to turn back. Now I pay attention and it still turns a few degrees each ride and takes all of my strength to turn it back. Is this normal? I can't believe there is enough rotational force to make the can turn while riding. Also does everyone else's air shock hold air indefinitely? After 2 days it goes soft.

I have no idea why its turning ... replace the valve core if it is leaking air that fast

I'm having trouble imagining what you could possibly mean by "turning".

And if you're losing air after only 2 days, you've got a leaky seal.

Ok, I released all of the air and was able to turn the can more easily and I was able to tighten it down. I speculate I was not able it get it tight with the added friction of the high pressure air on the seals. After 3 days the sag went from 25% to 30% so it's holding air much better now. Also, does everyone else's shock hold air at high altitude? 7000'+ elv.
