Hey all
I've been riding my first full sus for a few months (Canyon Nerve AM) and found that the propedal setting seems to make pretty much naff-all difference. I put that down to a subtle change rather than getting anywhere near firm but I've just ridden a zesty with float shock and that's very very firm in lockout - massively different.
I know it's a different bike with different handling etc and it's not a like for like shock either but it makes me wonder if the shock has a problem.
Any suggestions? Adjusting air pressure doesn't seem to affect it, and neither does the rebound.
I can generally tell just by leaning on the bike if it's working or not a gentle lean should be stopped by the pro pedal.
Under a year old then you can return as faulty rather than paying for a tune on what is possibly a dud.
Air is the spring and nothing to do with the shock absorber part which uses oil and yes you are right there should be a significant difference between "Open" and "Propedal"
I'd pop back to the LBS

Take it then that its an online purchase, not that up on exotic bikes

Yep, Canyon sell direct, which makes these kind of things a pain. That said, Fox warranty should cover a dud and Canyon have been excellent about helping resolve any niggles since arrival.
