Xtrmbikrdude:

I will have to punt on this one. Not being familiar with the head shock workings, I will hope one of the readers more familiar with head shocks can pipe in. There is an excellent web site regarding tuning and maintenance of telescopic forks http://www.angryasian.com/main.cfm . This site is by a bike mechanic in Michigan who got rather angry over the malfunctioning of his fork on the trail and was duelly nick named by his buddies and it stuck. He is a guru of fork maintenance and may be able to help.

Thanks,
