Got the bike last year, only ridden a couple of times and it's a dream on the flats and when pointing up, but pointing the thing downwards and it turns into a she-witch!

Read this review on BR http://www.bikeradar.com/mtb/gear/category/bikes/mountain-bikes/full-suspension/product/review-gt-sensor-carbon-expert-27-5-14-48310/ which mentions increasing the travel to 150 to improve the geometry!
A) has anyone don't this (can it be done as they say)
B) anyone got a link to how to do it?
C) any suggestions at all would be nice

Cheers

Hi,

First up disclaimer, I haven't done this with any Rockshox forks (only fox) and if you don't feel competant get a professional to do it 😉

However, it should be as easy as a basic service to be honest.

I would also suggest that you might need more than a couple of rides to really assess the capabilities of the bike.

But when it comes time the appropriate information is here:

Service manual for the 2014 Sektor which I believe is the model on your bike. The first section describes taking out the air spring and how to add or remove travel spacers (in your case remove...).
