can i do this?
what parts do i need? just the spring assembly?
air spring is leaky i think and i like the feel of coil.
do i need other bits top and bottom?
Air uturn csu different won't work, stealth edit 😉
Dual air to uturn coil will work, the air uturn system is a complete internal unit that just connects to the chassis at the top of uppers and into the lower legs only
I like my air better than the coil I have.
I was told it wasn't possible due to the uppers not having an indentation for the circlip that holds a bottom-plate. Be interested if it was.
I'm not sure you can - I thought the Air U-Turn legs, the upper stanchions that is, lack the circlip groove you need to hold the spring assembly in place. It works the other way round though because I did it - I also prefer the air Pikes to the coil ones. Might be wrong though.
thanks loco.
according to this thread: http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/converting-air-pikes-to-coil ,
air uturn upper tubes do not have a circlip groove needed for the base plate / neg spring assembly ,
can you shed some light?
can you get/have you got neg spring and top-cap assemblies?
to be sure, these are Dual Air, U-turn 454s
thanks again
yeh, so dual air U-TURN to to coil won't work.
NON U_TURN dual air will. right?
