Blown Triad

[andino]

Did a bit of urban jumping today and blew out my rear shock . Cleaned a 10 stair and when i landed i heard a pop and look down to see dampening fluid going all over my leg and crank. The fluid was coming out of the rebound adjuster/propetal changer lever. Is the shock gone or can it be rebuilt? There is no longer any dampening and i can't change the "modes". No feel in the lever as well. Not really sure what to do since this in my only bike at the moment. Any ideas? rebuild maybe?
Thanks,
Andy

A rebuild shouldnt be a problem. Take it along to somewhere like Rock and Road and they'll tell you whether its a simple re-seal job or whether it'll need to be sent back to Fox. If it goes back to Fox expect it to take about 2weeks to get it back. Mine needs rebuilding now and loses about 30psi over a week.
Andy was hucking on mine today so maybe I'd better get it done sooner rather than later - I forgive Andy because his bike was sooooooo cool!

alright thanks for the info...i think i need to send it back to Fox since fluids are comming of the rebound adjuster

You may want to consider getting a more durable bike for hitting urban stuff like that. I don't think a Stumpjumper can handle too much of that.

Oil coming out of the rebound knob is not gonna be a simple oil seal change, they'll have to tear into the shock a bit further than that.

Send it to the best.

I've had my fork and shock overhauled by Steve at Garageworks. This guy is the Sultan of Squish! And he stands by his work. I needed a bit of help 5 months after initial set up and Steve came thru and fixed me up in under a week.

Plus he's SoCal local! Even has STR sticker in his shop.

PUSH doesn't work on 06 triads >.<

well i called up fox and send my triad in...hopefully it'll be a little quicker on the return trip due to being in the same state? maybe not but i can hope right

stumpies are not any stair jumping bikes bub,theyre 5in travel trail bikes.the shocks on that and the fsr xc is close to the same (the xc is shorter travel) cathys shock took a dump on our x mas rid,it went flat i used a 16gram c02 to put air in for the nite(ABSOLUTELY NOT SUGGESTED)hahaha i think it put about 500lbs in it as the needle pegged the stop pin on the pump.

i know it's not...i don't on a daily basis go out and fine the biggest set of stairs i can find. I kinda just saw these and was like i can probably land on the steps like a landing ramp and didn't think i would clear them

you just need a fox float rebuild seal kit, we have them at the shop like $50 , gabriel @ adrenaline

[andino]

i just sent it into Fox under warranty. They got the shock thursday so hopefully i can get it back next weekend
