Hi guys,
I have some 170mm Lyrik RCT3 forks and want to lower the travel to 140mm.
Can this be done by changing the air shaft?
I have seen it online but wasn't sure if it was just the newer Charger damper/Debonair forks?
Yes, just follow one of the YouTube tutorials for the Pike or Lyrik.
BUT - are you sure you can get a 140mm air shaft? I thought it was 150mm minimum?
Can’t you get 130mm Yari’s On some hardcore (ish) hardtails? On that basis I’d assume those airshafts must be available.
Well I was curious as I have a Lyrik that I might want to drop from 160mm to 140mm, so I phoned TF Tuned.
The nice lady went away to confer with the technicians, who confessed that they didn't know for sure. You can buy a 140mm airshaft for a yari, but only a 150mm one for a Lyrik.
I said I might drop Sram a line, and she said she'd probably do the same.
Yari and lyrik have the same chassis, so I don't see why the 140mm yari one wouldn't work.
The new debonair version fits both: https://www.sram.com/rockshox/products/rockshox-debonair-air-spring-upgrade-kits
