Rockshox Pike Issues
Having some issues with my rockshox pike 454 forks.
Just got back from the angry doctor - going down the downhill section at the 70k mark (after that enormous hill) I lost all travel in my fork.
All I get now is a loud clunk if I hit anything. There is no compression what so ever.
I am not into bike mechanicals at all - just love riding. Anybody got any ideas of what this could be ? Blown seAls ? Fork requires rebuild or fork is completely stuffed.
Will take it to LBS but just wanted a heads up before the guy at the store gives me alot of bad news.

I am not sure if you fork is stuck in the up position or down position but mine got stuck down - http://nobmob.com/node/6853 . It is a rockshox tora 318.
The damping side of the fork had given up and had to be completely replaced, cost $100-200 from memory and it was like new afterwards.
Hey Dicko, V's forks did the same thing at the scott last year.
We got them serviced by SRAm at the race and they said that the compression side of the fork had blown an o-ring. Basically this dumps all the oil into the lowers and stops the fork moving. (im guessing the fork has not compressed).
If this is the case you will be looking at a service, New seals and o-rings and it should be in the $100-150 mark.
Just like anything regular servicing and oil changes are very important on forks and a lot of people dont service them enough.
speaking of such I should get my forks serviced as well.
