Shotguns leaking down over night
Well, it's happened to me now. After a year being rock solid the shocks are now leaking down over night. I don't mind the money or the exchange, but it's a GD ****er pulling those out again.
So anyway, what are my options at this point?

I just had the same problem. It was the check valves on my shock. Mine would leak overnight and also wasn't getting quite as firm as I wanted it too. Air it all the way up and then some. Grab soapy water and look under your bike. The shock has 2 little holes on the underside. Those are the check valves. Spray them and if you see bubbles that's your problem. JD and Jessica next day'd me a replacement and now I'm back in business.
On a side note, I also purchased mine about a year ago. Jessica had said something about there being a run of shocks that my have had some problems with internals. They are slowly replacing these units as the problems surface. Either way, call them. They'll set you straight and you may even get one of their sweet new shirts out of it =)
