Kyle, No you have not... Facts about don are the second bounce of the ball. What is wrong with the product?

Forget about your dislike for Don's behavior. What exactly is wrong with the kit? If I had to guess from your previous posts, I'd say that you thought it was hard to adjust and a pain, but you didn't say that it didn't work. Other than that you scratched the face of the adjuster cutting open the package...

Did something come loose on them that should have been immobilized with loctite? Honestly, exactly what's the problem with the product? What part failed?

Fair enough. The tiny grub screws used to turn the adjusters are held with only a low strength wicking loctite (per Don).

They are tasked with moving the large diameter adjusters and their orings.

The loctite has failed on one side. Bear in mind it was failed when I started. I never had the chance to adjust it.

My emails with Don were awful. He’s dismissive and disrespectful.

He was bordering on telling me to never adjust these adjustable dampers. He knew this thing sucked. I’m not the first guy with this issue.

I’ve had several pms from other guys with issues with Don. This isn’t isolated.

Thanks gortnippper, I think I got it.

A small diameter threaded adjuster is controlling a larger diameter component inside the fork tube and It's fastened to that component with wicking locktite... When you turn the adjuster, either the component moves as it should, OR the loctite joint fails and the whole thing has to be disassembled to renew the loctite joint before you can reassemble the forks.

Is that it in a nutshell? or did I miss something?

Hey lazyeye, take your thinly veiled BS elsewhere. I dont appreciate the comparison. I've stuck to facts.

Fact is you scratched the product taking it out of the package, blames the packaging.

Something happened to a screw and you are mad. Doesn't work the way you think it should.

Do we have the facts right? I have a feeling that based on the way you have presented the issues you may not get a lot of sympathy. Especially when so many people will vouch for him and don't know you. Count in on those people who will 100% vouch for Don. Make that 110%.

I don't think it's any different to the JRB adjusters in which case the brass caps are attached to long needle valves.
Screwing the compression and rebound caps in and out using an allen key takes minimal effort and simply raises and lowers the needle valves.
