help?
From what I understand it, the gap is from the horizontal bar joining the damper to the remote reservoir, to the top of the remote reservoir. There is a pic on here somewhere showing the difference.
The photo posted by tallandy here:

shows it quite well.

Again, I'm no expert, and I haven't got round to checking mine yet, but the way I understand it, the remote reservoir contains about half of the oil and gas needed for the damper to operate. If the gas leaks from the system, the remote reservoir sags, and the two parts move closer together as there is no high pressure gas to keep them apart.
...sits back and awaits to be corrected!

One of the best pieces of information! Is this thread a sticky?
Also, could someone please confirm which Evo Issue Harry Metcalf's write up was (i.e. which month in 2009)? Thanks.

For those who have had a rebuild I believe it's possible to pump up the dampers if they have lost pressure. I think the pressure is 60psi. You can use a pump for mountain bike suspension.
Obviously if there is no pressure there is a problem that needs addressed but this might be useful for very small drops in pressure over time

Or take them down your local gas supplier and get them gassed back up with nitrogen for a few quid! Thought it was 65psi also!! Although I can't imagine 5psi making a huge amount of difference!
lol, any reason to post that Vid again!! ??
