shercoben12 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hi Have just been out on my bike today and when I was lifting the back round to put in the shed I noticed when you lift the back up the bike goes up but the rear wheel stays on the ground untill lifted quite high. Does anyone know what's wrong? Thanks,Ben. Age 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannon Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 I will not re invent the wheel so look up on the TC forums "suspension tuning" and read about sag/bike sag/race sag and make sure you are not just noticing the normal "sag" of the bike/rear shock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 The spring may be backed off a bit for your weight as well. Ask dad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shercoben12 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 thanks for answers found out that the bottom of the shock was not connected to the linkage.ther seems to be some kind of thread on the bottom of the shock that screws into somthing .

tony27 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Sounds like you're saying the shaft has undone from the mounting eye, had this happen on a gasser jt35 years ago. Quite possible that both the shaft thread & thread inside the eye are worn enough to not stay tight, I ended up getting the thread inside the eye inserted which worked well until I bought a new shock months later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
