Whistling sound in fork
hi there,
i have a CONOR 8500 29" Bike, recently i noticed a light whistling sound coming from the forks when i go up a small sidewalk or in a small hole in the road, i put my bike upside down and try to push the forks and hearing the sound, and i have noticed that when i push them suddenly the whistling is existed but when i push them slowly i heard no sound. i don't know how to get rid of it, hope you friends finding a solution to help me.

It's common for suspension forks to have some air escaping sounds as well as any internal stuff sounds (like fluid moving through valves and ports) as the fork compresses or returns range through the internal volume changes. This might well lessen with age and wear. Andy

Teach it the lyrics and maybe it'll stop whistling. (Sorry--couldn't resist).
