Hi.

I have a DVO Topaz which leaks oil out of the rebound knob, and the bladder holds only 50psi. My lbs serviced it but the issue came back after three rides. The main air chamber holds pressure and the shock does seem to work, albeit with some sloshing sound.

It will be replaced, but is it safe to ride while waiting for the replacement?

Won’t be doing any big hits but would like to ride some flowy trails

I just started losing oil from my rebound knob on my topaz. Not a little, enough to cover the shock and the bike below it. I haven’t lost pressure yet. How did DVO resolve your issue?
