Hello,
I remember reading an article in one of the magazines that there was a small company that was updating the 17 forks to the 18 specs. It was very affordable.... I think around $300 for the magazine test. Does anyone remember seeing this article? I am in need of a service on my suspension and want them to update as well. Not necessarily a revalve, just freshen up. I am in Ocala Florida if there is someone close to here?

Even with the update to the 18 fork, I'm out on air.
Happened on a jump and thankfully it was first lap of practice so I wasn't hitting the jumps but it was enough to scare me from sticking with air.
I heard it could have been from running too low of a PSI in the beginning causing some sort of damage to the quad ring. Not sure if thats the case or not.
It went down about 5-6 inches in the travel, so roughly half way down. I know of two people besides myself who have had it happen. Don't think its common but it is happening.
The internal seal some how allows air by the seal and then it won't allow it to fully extend and get the air side back to where they bypass ports are so the fork essentially is stuck due to the pressure on each side of the seal and I couldn't get it to extend fully at all which made it difficult to get the wheel off.
I dont buy into the "air forks suck" atleast the AER. Jim mentioned he does a conversion for about 600 bucks.
I found that the bottoming resistance is class leading for stock forks, i felt like that was one of the best things with those forks.
