Looking for some advice here...
On a ride a couple of days ago, there was a "clunking" feeling coming from the rear suspension on my Tracer. Basically it felt like it was underinflated and bottoming out (though I check the pressure regularly). Before last night's ride I ensured correct pressure (about 210lbs for my 200lb weight on my Tracer), and checked all linkages. It was a cardio climbing ride, but sure enough there was the problem again. Standing and cycling the suspension, everything seems fine, but then I figured out that if it was compressed quicked, the lockout would engage (at least partially).
Finally I realized that if I flip the lockout lever past it's proper position (it a model with the positions at about 4 and 8 o'clock), it works OK.
Will it fail? Have others had this problem? Tonight I'll take a closer look at it, but any advice would be greatly appreciated as we're heading to Kingdom Trails, VT and if it fails I'm SOL!
Please tell me that it's something that I can correct, or maybe it's time to get it "pushed".
The shox is an upgraded Float RC - AVA, fully rebuilt this Winter with new piston, etc, and I was without it for almost 2 months!
Thanks,
