i've been waiting for this fisizzle, but I AGREE with you (imagine that :-) )

If you get caught by a cop on a segway, you need to start doing some exercise, as you must be a circus bear on a bike :-)

I'm quite amazed, can't see how you could of disagreed though.

Your more like that fish on a bike (from the guiness adverts) to be that slow.

i know whats up, it happened to mine too.

basically you bottomed out so hard that the oil has gone above the piston.

take your forks to a suspension / bike shop and ask for a service - they will open the forks up and find oil above the piston and then replace the oil and seals etc.

or you can do it yourself.
