SR Suntour Edge shock stuck down
The SR Suntour Edge shocks are popping up on a number of bikes these days and they seem like quite a nice little shock. We have heard of and seen a number on Focus Thron e-bikes that have been "stuck-down" This is where the main chamber pressure ends up in the negative chamber and causes the shock to collapse on itself. There are plenty of references out there on how to release a stuck down shock (I generally stick a rag through the eyelet to stop the can flying off) But the main issue is the cause of the air leak and how to fix it.
