Almost a little <em>too</em> easily I sometimes think, but it's not fallen out <u>yet</u>... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20856#post-358599 Sat, 19 Feb 2022 19:19:05 +0000 duncans 358599@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Does indeed "just pull off", though considerably stiff and crusty! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20856#post-358598 Sat, 19 Feb 2022 19:12:10 +0000 duncans 358598@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.servicearchive.sram.com/sites/default/files/techdocs/gen.4923_service_manual_2016_2017_30_recon_sektor_rev_c_english.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.servicearchive.sram.com/sites/default/files/techdocs/gen.4923_service_manual_2016_2017_30_recon_sektor_rev_c_english.pdf</a></p> <p>Page 7.

Rockshox Recon Air. Not attempted before.</p> <p>Baffled, though. This is the underside of the air side of the fork, should detach (I think!) to reveal a bolt. Don't want to apply enough force to break it, it doesnt seem to just pull off. Or does it? Attempting to unscrew it just ratchets rather than coming out any more than the limit.</p> <p>It doesn't resemble the examples in youtube vids which are set screw retained.</p> <p>Anyone know how this works?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p> Duncan</p> <p><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51891773840_274bbe4b89_w_d.jpg"> </p>
