Hi, you are talking about the damper unit, right? Have you disassembled your fork and taken the damper unit off? And you have found that the unit compresses ok but doesn't extend to its original length by itself? It IS normal because it is a "damper". So you need to pull it out after you have pushed it in. Hope you will figure it out. Thanks for watching!

@@MindDesignFactory thanks for your reply; yes fork disassembled, its the damper unit: which compresses ok, good to know it doesnt come out all the way itself. I still have the metallic / grinding noise when it extends. I'm going to lube the shaft and put it back in - then see what happens. Its an old secondhand bike, stanchion posts are a bit rusted; I'll see how it goes after servicing it and then decide whether to replace parts or get a new fork.

If the metalic noise persists after lubricating the shaft, then the seal of the damper piston head may be shot, I mean broken. But in that case lock-out won't work either. I am very curious to know what is going on inside your damper cartridge, too. If you don't mind, please keep me informed of this issue.

It is very encouraging. Thank you, indeed!

Hi, SR Suntour recommends using their own "ConPanna Fork Grease" or any Teflon (PTFE) based lubricants. Lithium grease is not recommended on plastic and rubber parts. Silicone grease should work fine although it is a bit pricier than other types of grease. And any "stanchion lubes" can also be used on bushes, seals and other sliding parts as well. Thanks for watching!

Hi, if you can't find any bike shop in your local area that could help you with the new spring, then you can try to find it at Aliexpress. Just check out the following links for reference (these are my affiliate links): s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DCHWvLN s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DkQv94B s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DFLkGx1 Or just search for "sr suntour xcm spring" at Aliexpress.

Shimano grease I use in the video is a kind of multi-purpose grease and is not aggressive to rubber nor plastic. Just like their mineral based brake oil. Thanks for watching!

I use a cleaning rod for flutes and Scott Shop towels to clean the lower legs of forks. You can also use a bottle brush or any similar tool. Thanks for watching!

是的，它有效。 你为什么这么问？

When the damper cartridge leaks oil, then you need to replace it with the new one. But it might be a better choice to buy a new one. If you can't find a new cartridge locally, check out the following link (my affiliate link to Aliexpress): s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DErKIXx You would need a "XCM-Shoulder 26" type cartridge. Thanks for watching!

@@MindDesignFactory thank you so much.
