I love my pikes - best fork Eva...

However (how-Eva?) there now seems to be a few mm of top out play in them.

They're about 6 months old..is this a known issue? Anything to be done about it?

I think you can apply a cream - helps shrink the "top out" ..... Thought you ought to have known about this remedy

Good spot.
Rather than edit to completely invalidate your observational comment, I've left my daftness for the internetz to admire, but also made my original point a bit more 'on point'

DrP - may have been drinking.

Fit a Luftcappe.
It'll not only cure your topout problems but also massively improve your fork performance.

Thanks for that, I now have a mental image of the OP applying fork parts to his Chalfonts 😯

That slip up is almost as bad as the one we had at work the other day, work for a big insurer, so we sometimes get emails when there is going to big adverse weather issues as claim volumes no doubt go up.

The email title to 6000 employees said "get your willies out", when she meant wellies

how is your rebound? still working as it should.

you could also have a bit of blockage in the transfer port meaning not enough air in the negative chamber
