2006 RP3, rear shock. while cleaning the bike, i noticed the shock is stuck in the down position. it seems like it could compress maybe an additional 1/4 - 1/3 of an inch, but does not return to the fully extended position.
There was a tech article in mountain bike action mag. (april issue).Goes through the whole process step by step.If you can't get a copy I could photo copy it and mail it to you.
It is called " stuck down", I kid you not. It is the seals. You can buy a kit to fix it. I sent mine back to fox to have it fixed. They did a 3 day turn around. The beachwoodbike guy actually did a thread about it last fall. I will see if I can find
thanks ruth and tj. i realized i have the MBA article, and it looks pretty simple. i was thinking of sending it to PUSH, but $150 beans is a lot to spend on the rebuild and valve, plus they are back logged until 6/2.
Mine got stuck down last fall. I opted to send it back to fox and have it revalved while it was there. Cost me $80 for the new valving, the seal replacement was warranty.
In retrospect, if I knew I could have repaired it myself, I would have.
