Have just got round to sorting out putting the 140mm dual position coil, along with a dual flow damper, into my Revelations, and when I bolt the whole thing together it only sits at about 125mm...
Now, I've tried it with both of the travel adjust spacers which came with it to no effect... the fork sits at exactly the same point. So that's me thinking that the spring leg is too short... I thought the Sektor springs were compatible with the Revs...
Also, what is the Dual Position supposed to do? I've tried pressing the forks with it set to Min and it does nothing... it seems to always return to the same place whatever setting it is in.
Am I missing something here? Being daft? Or does something not sound right?
Anyone?
Also, does anyone know the length of the 140mm DPC spring assembly?
It sounds like it is stuck in minimum.
Take the spring out and have a fiddle with it, I think there is a short spring in there that compresses when the dial is turned to minimum. What is this spring doing?
As far as I can tell, the spring at the top which gets compressed when the dial is set to minimum is extended...
I did think it might be the overall length of the spring assembly being too short, and having just measured it from top cap to end at 485mm I'm thinking it must be...
Having a look at the forks it looks like it needs to be about 15-20mm longer to give the full 140mm travel.
I've also just checked the Revelations a-c measurements against the Sektor, and they are pretty much identical, so I can't really see much difference to do with that.... so it must be the spring... right?
If the a2c length it the same then there is either a shelf that the spring sits on in the sektor and not in the rev or the spring is compressed somehow.
Looking at the drawings for the Sektor, and the length of the foot bolt which came with it, the end of the spring sits in pretty much the same place in both forks, as does the top cap, with the shoulders of the fork yoke where the spring screws in being around 25mm lower than the crown.
This is re-inforced by a Norco parts catalogue I found which lists the Revs and Sektors as having the same lowers... and I I'd be surprised if the uppers were really any different as well.
I've pulled up a few pics of the DPC assembly now, and it looks the same as the one I have here, with about the right number of turns on each spring... I just can't find an overall length for the assembly which would say if there was a problem or not with it.
Aaaaargh.... again..
