Fork lost all air suddenly?

[A Potted Plant]

While riding yesterday I lost all the air in my fork then I pumped it back up and it held like nothing happened I am going to buy a rebuild kit just in case and rebuild it but I just don't understand why this happened. I assume there was some deflection or something that let all the air out when I bottomed out.

New bike will fix all issues
You probably would want to lettuce know what fork this is

ragley marley, I'm thinking of getting either a fox 34 blah blah or seeing if the for will hold out long enough and just put the cash into a new frame

Just save up for a FS, good to have two bikes ready to ride should one go down

Don't you need a straight steerer? You need to check if your head tube can take a conversion headset if you're going to go with a fork with tapered steerer

Didn't you pick up a boost fork not too long ago?

 

[BPaze]

Yes I did going to sap it out in sep or oct once I get a new boost front wheel

BTW that fork can do 27.5+ or just 27.5 as well

the diameter is much smaller from 275 to 27+ I don't think they'd jive.


I still don't get why this happened!!!
