And i cant work out how.
I bought an old set of dual position 150mm revs second hand. They came with lock out which i hated so following a bit of online googling i removed the damper, unhooked the wee spring that holds the damper closed and voila, i thought i had a set of revs i could manually change from locked out to open with the old top cap.
Now, they seem to either be fully locked out or as near as. They just seem to ramp up and compress after about 40mm.
Online i found the manual that states they need 134mm of 5wt fluid in the damper side. Yep, that doesnt work.
Apart from buying a proper damper i am not sure what to do next.
Ideas. Oh and yep i knew i was fiddling and it could all go wrong 8O. And it has.
Send them to loco/whoever along with an apology letter 😉

Check the oil level.
If you have just tipped the oil out and added 134m[b]l[/b] you'll have too much oil in there (some is retained in the rebound damper).
With the forks vertical and fully extended, measure from the top of the hole that the compression damper screws into down to the oil surface. (Should be 82-88mm [url= https://www.sram.com/sites/default/files/techdocs/gen0000000004671_rev_a_rockshox_oil_air_and_coil_chart_2015.pdf ]here[/url] )
Not being funny but you've put all that oil in the damper and not the lower leg, right?
Also, turn the compression to minimum, whip the damper out and see where the half moon is on the bottom. There should be a gap. No gap when closed. You can move the half moon with pliers to get it right.

Yep, i didn't remove the lowers at all. Ill check the half moon tomorrow. Cheers
+1 to both suggestions above.
You should be able to see if the knob is still affecting the port as you should see the half moon port opening open and close as you turn the knob.
AWESOME. Thanks all 🙂
It'll be the port as mentioned above. You've got to set it up correctly when you change the lever for a non remote do it opens and closes fully. Have done exactly the same myself.
