A question for the Bomberhood.

Dave W said:

My 2001 Z2 Atom Race is acting a little weird as of late. No, it isn't failing. (At least I
hope not!) On extended rides the adjustment dials at the top of each leg have been "backing
themselves off" 1/4 to 1/2 turn DURING particularly technical rides, when the fork is
working hard. (at least that's when I notice it.) It doesn't seem to effect the feel of the
fork, but is visually noticable. Has any other Zoke owners experienced this? If so what are
some possible causes. There is no leakage. I have the stiff springs installed, if that
matters. Any thoughts?

Dave (still rides like a dream though)

It seems this group is more interested in trying to belittle people than to answer a question
concerning mountain biking, and or equipment. Does no one have any thoughts or answers on this
subject, or all you too busy trying to be badasses.

Awww, didums! Ever thought that there might have been no one around for a few hours? Jerk.....

Right, only time I had anything like that (on my MXR's, that is) it was to do with the rubber flaps
on the front of my downtube mounted mud guard catching them and rolling them as I turned from lock
to lock. It's only pre-load on mine, only moved a turn or 2, so IDGAF anyhow.

Well, you do, if I'm gonna be shoving stuff up it. Frankly, I have no idea how that's going to fix
your fork, but hey - I'm here to serve the needs of my fellow MTBers!

No matter what you write, it's funny, and I get to laugh. Please, keep up with the whiny posts - I
