My Lyrik Ultimate appears to have a leak!
About 2 weeks ago, I rode Heartbreak Ridge, which has some pretty savage terrain. At the end of the ride, I noticed a little sand / grit stuck to the charger cap. Didn't really think much of it. Washed the bike and put it away. I've done a couple of small rides since then - and nothing to note.
Yesterday I was at Tarland Trails... again with some big drops and rough / rocky terrain. When I got back to the car, my charger cap was all oily, and there was traces that a dribble had run down the stanchion (see attached photo)
When I got home, I removed the LSC / charger cap, and tried tightening the cap below with the special Rockshox tool. The torque rating was about 8.5Nm (from memory - but I checked the manual) and the torque wrench just clicked immediately - so it's as tight as it should be.
What could be leaking? The fork was at TF-Tuned for a service about a year ago, and hasn't been ridden much for the last 6 months.
I'll probably send it away for a service when I go on holiday in July.
Hopefully it's just a seal or something I can replace until then?
