I have a 04 Epic Comp Disc... it has the fox float brain on the rear, and the inertia valve seems to be stuck open (happened in the last 2 weeks or so).
Its not stuck down, it holds air just fine, but the shock just basically is fully active now.
I don't ride it that often (mostyly a roadie) but ferry my 2 year old around on it on the weekends and evenings.
Is this a serviceable fix, or am I stuck with a fully active rear end and the prospect of asking my Specialized dealer to try to order me a new shock?
Is hanging the bike upside down a no-no? I wonder if the valve is stuck in the "active" postion because that is how I store the bike. Its not been a problem till now.... but....
Any help is appreciated.
