I had my new 2012 180 TALAS suddenly loose all it's air out on the trail today. Luckily I was just sitting on the bike, not moving. Heard a small 'poop' sound and then the smell of air that's been in a canister for a while (best way I can describe it).
Only on its second ride, with only 4 hours total trail time so far. I pumped it up at the PS on the way home to talk with the tech and it held air (and still is now 4 hours later). Any ideas what happened (blown seal? Something 'breaking in' and sealing correctly)? I know it wasn't over pressurized, was running about 95 psi for my 245 lbs ride weight and XC firmness (still feeling out the fork and air pressure).
Headed to Snowshoe next weekend, this isn't what I want on the back of my mind. I'll be taking out once more for another 'shake down' before the trip, and taking my old 160 Van as backup.
