Judy TT preload knob won't turn

[Brad McColm]

I just recently bought a set of new, never installed '04
Judy TT's from a buddy and once I got the LBS to install
them I can no longer turn the pre-load knob in either
direction. it seems to be set on the softest setting which
is fine but i am currently doing some road training and
would like to stiffen up the ride. Any help w/o having to
remove the forks would be appreciated.

Try loosening the knob retaining screw a bit. I had to do
that on my '04 Judy SL before it blew up.

Throw it away and buy a rigid fork.

That would be considered an upgrade, in this case.

NO, dont throw away a perfectly good fork! Open the caps and
fill it with sand. Done and done.

Not really, just **** design. Probably one reason (of
several) why Giant only used it for 6 months. Even SRAM
took it back.

Probably was turned too far and it broke. Pretty common. I
would ask for a new FREE adjuster.
