Has anyone else experienced problems when leaving fox forks upside down ?
I've read that leaving a fork upside down is 'good' for oil etc.

I found out over the weekend (and again last night) that once left upside down then the lockout doesn't work. (It eventually came back into play the weekend thank god on the start line !)

Or - are my newish forks playing up ?

Open bath fox cartridges need to be bled after they've been upside down for a bit a oil drains out. Put on full slow rebound and compress 10 or so times to bleed air out.
It's good to store upside down as it relubes the bushes in the legs making the fork 'suppler'.

+1 Loco 😉

Edit: Make sure if you instal new seals from Enduro (if you ever do) that you dont install the oil seals upside down when you have man flu - Thanks Loco 🙂
