Ok, rebuilt some forks a couple of weekends ago. I have done some before but never ran into this issue. When sitting on the machine the forks handle the down pushing with nice rebound and cushion. the issue is when I'm riding and I go over a jump and the forks fully extend on the way up they "bottom out", when they extend it clanks hard. Don't know if I missed something, help!! Thanks

Provided you have the right amount of oil, going to a heavier oil will slow down the rebound.

I have just never seen a machine where you can lifit it up from the handlebars and it will clank when you lift the front wheel off of the ground. Hope I didn't miss something.
