No brakes, lean on the front bars and it stiff as a solid frame, press the brake and it’s got a good bounce.. very odd.
Anyone any ideas or am I just an idiot?
Some shocks have a lockout, but if that was engaged it shouldn't compress when braking either.
There is a possibility that it's binding, and pulling the brake allows you to overcome this and place more force on it.
There's also the chance it's just not a very good shock
Similar issue here, with some suggestions to try
