My pub bike has an old Reba dating back to around 2006 ish. Have recently noticed that it locks solid after about 45mm of travel, even with no air in. Anyone seen this before and can point me in the right direction what to look for when I pull them apart?
Cheers, Dave.

Oil from damper (RHS) leaked into fork lower.

What pdw said ^^^

...if you get lots more than the 15ml that should be in the damper side when you drop the lowers, you'll know its that

Well you were both right, just dropped the oil from the damper leg and I'd guess about 100ml came out. Looks like I need to order myself a seal kit!
