My mate has a 5.5 commencial with these forks (this bike http://www.commencal.com/web/bicycles/2010/meta-5-meta-6/meta-55-pro)
He is definately not getting more than 100mm travel but the forks are working perfectly well. I assume that somewhere in there are spacers holding the travel down.
How do you change the travel back to max as the manual seems to not say.
Thanks

There are spacers in there, but i doubt they've been incorrectly setup from new. They are fairly easy to change though, just need some circlip pliers, socket set and 15wt fork oil for lubrication.
Is the fork too short (i.e. < 140mm of exposed stanchion) or is it not compressing enough.
My bet would be too much oil or wrong air pressure.
I think my 2010 Rev may be slowly losing air - which is causing the travel to slowly drop.
My friend's 2010 Rev definitely did this, just observing mine again now.
It could be the same problem for your chum anyway.
There is less sanction showing than there should be. Checked the pressures on the + and - springs and they are right + is sightly more took all the air out of the - side and they didn't rise.
I'd say there is around 110mm of sanction showing.
They work prefectly well and all the adjustments have the expected effects so I'm convinced that they have been supplied from new with the wrong spacer.
I just noticed that in comparison to my and other forks running 120 -140 travel there is very little sanction on show. He may be best of returning them to the shop as the bike is a few months old.
