Is it possible a all? and if so, is it costly or difficult to do?

Just needs a new air spring shaft, I think- Loco'll be able to sort you with the part if so

Not possible as far as I'm aware you can space down but not up but with new internals you will be able to.

£35 RRP for a new air shaft, less if you shop around

Sounds good, so stanchions etc are all the same?

Anyone here have 150mm pikes? Do they have 2 sets of sag measurements? ie. the measurements for 150 and also 160?

Yep.
160 51 offset 29er Pikes were unavailable in the UK so i bought 150 51 offsets and put a 160 airspring in them.
Sorted.

Excellent.

Thinking of doing a Joe Barnes on one of those Spectrals and turning the fork (Pike 150 comes with it) into a 160 for an enduro weapon.

(not that I ride anything like JB!)

I've done it to a couple of 150mm 27.5" Pikes. Works a treat.
