mysterion Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 I have some Fox Floats(no rezzie) that are giving me trouble. When I compress the front end, they barely rebound. The front end just sits there and sags. The shocks do not have that much ride time on them. I have tried pumping them up with more air and no luck. What could be the issue? Thanks for any input.

sheerider11 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Do you have the front off the ground when you fill them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 And how many pounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterion Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Yes, I suspend the front end with whatever is around. When I pump air into them, every time I go to unscrew the pump, there is a small amount of air that gets out. Is that just the air in the tube?

Burke Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 I'm running about 85 - 100psi depending on the type of riding I'm doing... try adding some air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysterion Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I tried to pump them up to 100psi but as soon as I stop pumping, the air slowly leaks out and stops around 50 psi. I'm going to call Fox and see what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4psnu Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 If you have regular flots your are going to need a new air seal that is your problem and one of the main reasons I do not run fox shocks.... PEP only good shocks to run!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I've had my Float Evols for over a year now. I set them up in October 2012 and have never touched them since. On our hillclimb bikes, they work better than the Elkas do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factory350 Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 I bought a brand new set a while back will similar issues. Air them up and come back out an hour later to the bike sitting on the ground. Tried more air etc. with no luck. I ended up pulling the shrader (air) valve out and found that the o rings were faulty. Replaced the o rings and haven't had an issue since. It's air and the slightest hole will let them leak. Worth a shot. Hope it helps.

dirtydownunder Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 i ran 65/70 in mine for ages and they were fine. do they drop psi at all when you re check them ? (they drop 2-5psi when re checking due to filling the tube) have you ever done an air sleeve maintenance ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterion Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Excuse my ignorance, but what is an air sleeve maintenance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
