The WP Bladder forks are masters of building up air pressure.

I always get a little bit of air come out of the TTX carts in the Sachs, and my 48mm Zokes. Nothing crazy though. Just a quick psst.

I never get any pressure build up on the zokes. stopped worrying about it. My wp forks need to be bled about every 10 minutes of ride time.

It's normal. Never had a set of forks that build up so little air .

I had speed bleeders on my 48's, but removed them because of the lack of air build up.
