[Closed] Compression Not Working

Bought a 2016 stumpjumper expert second hand around 6 months ago and from then I realised that the compression and lockouts on the fox float shock and the rockshox pike weren't working at all and make no difference.

Does anyone know how I can get them working again? Don't fancy 'fork'ing out (pun intended 🙄) over £200 for a service of all the suspension.

Many thanks

Suspect a service will have them sorted...if they haven't been serviced since new, something might have perished and no longer working, service should have that sorted.

@DickBarton maybe that's what I'll have to do then, thanks

Quite common on a second hand bike. The previous owner wouldn't have fancied shelling out £200+ getting a full service which would have eaten into his / her profits from the sale. If you're sure its compression issues and they don't just need a bit of tlc with an air can / lowers service then I'd send em off for a full service personally.

Does anyone know if I can get a replacement compression damper such as this one but for a pike?
