I've sent off a question to the techs at RockShox, but I wanted to see if anyone could beat them to the punch with an answer for me...
I have just purchased a brand new RockShox Pike Team Dual Air fork with the Poploc Adjust.
The fork has never been adjusted by me or anyone one else since the factory I assume.
The first times I tried to compress the fork, the fork appears to be totally rigid, or has the lockout on. Having checked the lockout on the top of the right leg, it appeared to be off. I've turned the lockout dial just to check but nothing changed.
As I said before, no adjustments have been made to the fork yet. This includes adjustments to the air pressure in the positive and negative valves, or any dials turned. It is completely fresh out of the box.
Is this normal behavior for this fork or air forks in general? Does the fork come delivered needing adjustments before it can compress at all? Will the problem be solved by adjusting the air in the positive and negative valves?
I tried finding information about initial setup of the Pike Team Dual Air, but apart from the recommended air pressure for the rider's body weight, I couldn't find much information on initial setup of the fork.
I am VERY paranoid about hurting the fork or setting it up wrong, so I haven't done any forceful compressions with the fork or fiddling with adjustments yet. Does anyone know what to do to get my fork to start acting like a suspension fork?
