How often do you reset yours? Mine need resetting after every ride. Is that normal? I lose about 20mm travel each after each ride which a quick reset sorts out. Bit of a pain though!

Not sure what lefty I had but I used to do it pretty much after every ride. It's only a 5 minute job so just became part of my post ride check/maintenance ritual. Was no big deal if I didn't do it for a few rides though.

Yep new 2spring upgrade. My mate has the same issue with his and has to reset it after every ride. Both have 2spring upgrade.

We both race XC and I'd say the forks get a proper hammering. Not sure if this contributes to it! Will try lower pressure see if that helps. Currently running 95psi and weigh 72kg.

Have you measured the travel recently? The only reason I knew it needed a reset was because I measured the travel with a tape measure. It's hard to tell the difference through feel alone before and after a reset to be fair.
