Lefty PBR 2.0 27.5 too squishy

[tommyjay]

Hi. The Lefty PBR 2.0 27.5. on my Bad Habit seems way too soft. I'm already running it well above the recommended air pressure for my weight (125 psi vs. 109 psi), but it stills seems too soft and it bottoms frequently off small jumps.

Any ideas what would cause or how to fix?

Thanks!

Did you reset it?

Take all the air out and slam it down a few times... That's how you reset the 2.0

Since Matt has nothing nice to say.. I'll add my .02

Go by sag. Forget about what your shockpump reads. They notoriously inaccurate.

Sag is your friend. Unless it's in Matt Manboobs.

I feel like I'm being ignored here. It needs to be reset. I have a 2.0 and have to reset it every month or so. It takes 5 minutes.

If I don't reset it it, I don't get full travel.

 

[UtahJoe]

@tommyjay also how long has it been since having it serviced? The amount of miles I on my lefty means I get it done twice a year.

You are. This forum is no place for actual advice.

Agreed. Buy a new bike.

Sorry - I wasn't sure if you were being serious. Sometimes it's hard to sort the real advice from the fuckery here.

Sounded like a legit and helpful suggestion to me. I took it as such.

Agreed. Buy a new bike.

Soundz legit too.

So is it a single air chamber system and over time air bypasses into the "negative" causing a reset to be done?

Leftys use needle bearings and they migrate down after a while. All leftys need this done periodically.
