    Hey all.
    I recently bought a Trek 3900 2nd hand off somebody.
    Having owned one of these before and using it as a baseline into spins on dirt tracks I need the shocks to function.
    It appears the shocks have extended fully and wont move at all :confused: Any tips on how to free it?
    I suspect it may have seized from sitting up for a while. At least i'm hoping it's something minor as the rest of the bike seems mint.

    Thanks as always for your tips and advice! I dont want to send it to a shop if possible but I don't think the shocks are adjustable.

    RST forks? If they are just bin them and fit a new one. RST forks are ****e and usually end up seized.

    It sounds like they are seized allright.
