There might just be some air in the cartridge that needs to be eliminated. Can you post some pics of the cartridge?

There was a lot of hype when then fork was released but it was a major disappointment due to design flaws and build quality issues. Having said that, they look awesome and I have been tempted to get a set. So I don’t have any specific info on how to resolve your problem but if it was my fork I...

I have enough to get the bike running. Short plan is; Get the frame and seat stays stripped + painted black/red Rustle up some big yellow GIANT stickers Get some spokes >>> lace wheels I have some 636 pedals not in the pic Get rear shock rebuilt (chances of getting a factory answer shock =...

Re: .....almost time to start the build.

I was migrating some old USB drive data and came across this picture, which I have been looking for for a number of years! I bough the bike as a 1996 V-Link 3, in burnt orange with LX groupset and Manitou Mach 5 fork. At the time I was 16 and working at a petrol station as a cleaner for $4.60...

Re: I'm still looking!

I think mine is a '95 and has the attached logo.

Re: I don't want to steal the OP's thunder, but please PM me if you have a similar item available and can post to Australia (at my expense!). Jeffro

Re: The shakedown! So today I finally got to go for a proper ride. I am still battling some bronchitis but had to get out of the house after being couped up for a week or so. Out to Stromlo where I pedaled up the XC course and then took on the world cup DH course. Some observations...
