Ok, i bought a giant stp about a week ago, and have only taken it jumping twice. By the end of the day though, the dj3s were completley rigid, like i could barely compress them even off jumps. I didnt touch the adjustment or anything, it just happened. Has this happened to anyone else, and if so how did you fix it. And is this covered by warranty?

did you give your fork viagra?

Jk

it could be an issue with the seals or the oil

I hope so, does anyone who shops at cafe know if it would be covered under their free maintnence thing? I doubt it would but i sort of hope it is.

say you have abused the fork or you crashed into a tree and broke it, they give you a good deal on the same or similar model

how much air is in your chamber?

well i would say its the seals because my fork does the same thing but when its cold outside.

Maybe, and Its not the air because they were fine, and they just kind of seized up.

The seals have nothing to do with that. Stiffness in the cold is because the viscosity of the oil changes.
