Remove Rockshox Aircan with autosag?

[Alouette3]

I've never had to look for a substitute, I've got so much of the 15W50 from the kits that I just give it away for free. But Bheki says I can't right now.

 

It's Maxima Extra 4 15W50, 124.8 cSt @ 40C. Float fluid should do the job if you've got, otherwise a heavy full synthetic motor oil should do the job, as long as it doesn't have seal swelling additives.

Motorbike equivalent is probably a good bet, as it doesn't have the detergents and other additives, with many bikes running wet clutch.

JASO-MA is the spec that determines the above, which the Maxima does.

The Extra 4 is 4 stroke motorbike oil, so Trac-Mac or Suzuki should have something that will work.

Droo, any idea if there is an aircan upgrade like that for a Monarch RT?

A Monarch can is a Monarch can, just needs to be the right length. Also, it's not necessarily an upgrade - the size of of the can that you need will depend on what bike you have.

Thanks, will give the shock more adjustability? By being able to fit spacers. My bike bottoms out pretty easily so I would like to try make it a bit more progressive, its a 2017 Stumpjumper, has a 197x48 shock

Fitting a higher volume aircan then fitting volume spacers to reduce the volume isn't going to do anything to make your bike feel more progressive

 

Best option if progression is what your after is keeping the standard can and trying to find after market volume spacers or 3d printing your own to fit around the collar in the top of the eyelet

After few rides, I was able to tune Monarch according to my preference. After DebonAir upgrade, I put 5 tokens and 220PSI (30% sag) and now I have 1mm space before bottom out. My weight is 75kg (165lbs).

 

Offtopic: In Spec Enduro, only 57/63mm is used on Monarch travel, and inside we have plastic spacer to block this extra move. This is interesting if it is possible to remove it (probably frame is not ready for it) or maybe decrease its thickness (another stupid mod in my mind:))

In order to help others reaching this post, one can remove the Autosag by removing the o-ring under the autosag. it is a bit hidden away.
