Hi,

Does anyone have a servicing guide for a lefty PBR 100 from a 2015 FSI carbon 2 29er please?

The fork behaves normally if you push it down slowly, but if you push it down slowly it bottoms out. This makes it sag during normal riding.

Googling suggests 200 hour service requires special tools and therefore needs sending in, is that really the case or can someone competent work around it?

Service kit available on ebay.

Thanks!

I asked a similar question a few weeks ago. (Mine has done exactly the same thing, firmly push the front end and it offers resistance....push it more slowly and it bottoms out...as it now does when I ride)
I've sent mine to TF Tuned to be serviced this week. My local service chap doesn't have the kit for a lefty....I didn't look any further at what kit I may need

Thanks Dave, sounds like the same thing. Hoping to DIY it, but would be good to understand how special the special tools are before taking them apart!
