As title really.

I have a pair of fox float rl 140 that came on my stumpy.

looking at getting a 150mm travel enduro frame so was wondering if it is just a case of removing a spacer type thing or are my forks fixed at 140mm travel ??

cheers

steve

Nope. I would ring mojo and see if it is possible.

"fox float rl 140 that came on my stumpy"
IIRC stumpy's (not evo's) still come with QR (not QR15/thru-axle) dropouts?
In which case then no it'll be 140mm max.
IIRC Fox wouldn't make a 150mm 32series fork in QR as they thought it'd be too flexy, then they made up a new dropout 'standard' et voila.

Hardly a big deal, doubt you would notice the difference between 150 and 140 in a blind test.
