You certainly blew the rebound cartridge. Try locking your lefty again. It shouldn't be working anymore. It happened to me twice on my 2004 lefty carbon. (every 3 years is not so bad, i think!)The quick version - have a 2011 Ultra PBR. It's seen use, but not a ton, and hadn't even been on a frame for several months. Recently I picked up a frame for it, and before installing, figured I better do the bearing reset, as I had not done it before. Did that, one ride, no problem. Last Sunday did a rough, fast race. Last night I noticed quite a bit of suspension fluid on the bottom part of the Lefty, from the boot down. It wasn't so bad that it was dripping on the floor, but that section of it was pretty much covered. This is one of 3 Lefty's I have and this is new on me. Did I blow something during the race? Cause for concern? (I'm assuming so, but...) Any ideas or tips for me here, other clues to look for, etc? Thanks!
I'd wait for the 2013 because of new features (but nobody knows yet if there we will be any issues with these lefties )Can anyone summarize and explain the new features for 2013 in the high-end 29r carbon fork? I'm a Lefty newb, but convinved the design is better. I am trying to figure out if is worth to wait till mid-Fall for a 2013 or score a deal on a 2012.
Try adding some fox float fluid to the air chamber (that's on the bottom). I think that will fix it.my xlr lefty on my scalpel behaves differently all of the sudden, here are the things i notice different:
1. after removing all the air from it, it is not soft to compress and decompress not like before that it was soft and smooth to cycle after taking all the air out
2. putting only 100psi makes it feel like its locket out
3. increasing rebound(turning clockwise) makes it hard to compress the lefty but does not slow down the rebound
does anyone have experienced this? i felt like there's trapped air inside but im pretty sure i depressed the schrader valve to take all the air out
