I am just rebuilding a second-hand mk2 Jekyll (got past replacing all the bearings, pivot axles worn but just usable and a wonky back end which probably explains the above) and have an issue with the DYAD shock that I'm after some advice on; it appears to be stuck in elevate mode and I have no idea even if that is possible!
With the cable installed and the lever in the flow mode the cable is slack and doesn't return by itself when the button is pressed (the cables are fine), pushing the lever forward into elevate pulls the cable as you would expect. With the cable removed from the shock the shock spool chamber part with the cable anchor is loose/moves freely and I was under the impression this should return to full extension (spring or air?) by itself so for example if the cable broke or stretched the shock would always default to flow mode. So basically regardless of what cable and lever are doing I think the shock is in elevate mode based on adjusting the rebound for each chamber; only the elevate rebound adjustment has an effect when cycling the suspension. Riding the bike it is definitely feels like elevate mode; upright and short travel. Additionally airing up the shock as per the instructions results in barely any movement until I drop the pressures a lot. Things that I have tried are emptying/filling the shock of air several times following the instructions (with the pump screwed right on), trying with/without cables as mentioned so I'm wondering what is next to look at so any ideas or advice would be appreciated, thanks!
