Damper adjuster seized / stuck

[bearne1]

Haven't 'played' with my suspension settings for a while and one of the adjusters doesn't turn and click.

Has anyone had any similar issues? If so is it a case of lube and gently twist to loosen?

Have had new adjusters twice unpinned, the last time with the blue dials.

It could be that the springs underneath have seized but it's unlikely. Have you tried loosening the adjuster allen bolt and easing off the adjuster. Underneath the adjuster, on top of the unit are two ball bearings sitting on top of two springs inset into the unit. You could carefully (the ball bearings and springs are held in place by the adjuster) take apart and clean.

Thanks for this.

Small spray of WD40 and 10 minute soak and free again.

Thanks
