I have problems with my damper shock. It's not doing anything at all.
Playing around with the preload sets the bike higher and lower but the
flow adjuster at the bottom doesn't work at all, so the bike only rides on the spring resulting in a bouncing bike on gravel and tar.
At 140 it bounces the rear tyre of the tarmac leaving me with no rear traction and also a snaking bike on gravel.
Dose enyone else have the same problem,can it be fixed,or do I have to fit a new one? What cost?
The bike has 15000 km's on.
