5th element question

When I sit on my fifth and bounce on it it stops like its bottoming out but its only halfway through the travel(shock stroke)? Never seen this problem b4. the shock it nearly new and theres no reason it should break. I hope there is somethin I can do to fix it but if not I will send it into progressive. :17:

Up at Chico State, theres good riding up here- lots of freeride trails and tech stuff in Bidwell Park,,, but theres also 5 private lakes we can water ski at...

dont know if you still have ths problem, but anyway, check the end of stroke compression adjuster, if its all the way in, it coulb be stopping the shock from compressing further. Also, you say its new, ride it a lot and it will break in, and become more plush. If all that doesnt work, try ridin it anyway. 5ths are mysterious shocks. They work in ways not understood to most humans. Mine feels crappy when im just standing there, but the other day I set up a "rock garden" with some old volkswagen wheels, and it smoothed them out perfectly.

Downhill racing is not an extreme sport.

unless youre into that sorta thing...
