Fox 36 Question

[CdT85]

Hi guys and girls,

 

I just had my 2018 27.5 Fox 36 Factory Fit RC2 serviced and had the travel extended from 150mm to 160mm.

Last night the engineer in my took over and I checked out the old air shaft (150mm Float Evol) as I am eyeing it out for another Frakenstein project I am thinking of undertaking, and saw that the shaft actually has a 170mm stroke.

 

Current airshaft that came out of my fork:

 

Picture for stroke measurement reference:

 

 

No my noob question, purely out of curiosity. How does the 170mm stroke relate to 150mm travel?

Thanx bud. Saw that as well last night, but I don`t think that applies to my air shaft?

 

The internal travel adjust air shaft was the 2015-2017. There is no extra holes in my old air shaft to change the travel.

Easy. The seal head doesn't bottom out on the footnut.
