Hi Guys!

Has anyone disassembeld the compression valve at low end of the fork?
Mine is stuck, only turns 1/4 turn.
Can this be replaced/repaired? Can the rivet be drilled or do I need to change the whole hub...or what its called?

Thanks!

I doubt you will be able to drill out the rivet without it leaking when you make a replacement part. Get a good penerting spray, and let it soak for a bit. With the largest blade screwdriver, work it backwards and forwards over the 1/2 turn. You'll find that it'll start working further and further around until you have the full range again.
I've just had the same thing on mine and this has worked on both.
