2012 Trail SL 4 Forks jammed.

[cda 455]

Bought my son a brand new '12 Trail SL 4 this past Tuesday.

We rode a total of about forty-five miles until his forks jammed in the locked position. When they're in the (Normal, unjammed) locked position there is still a little bit of travel, but being jammed they are as stiff as rigid forks !

Three days old and the forks jam. Anyone have this problem with such new forks?

My brothers old trek 4300 did this and we never figured it out. He still rides it like that all the time. He took a ride on my fox float and now he's looking for a higher end bike.

My LBS did a warranty fork replacement.

My son is happy .
