Ok guys i have just won a set of these off ebay they are year 2000, how would i know if they are already setup to run at 130mm travel ? also if their not 130mm how do i go about it ? i understand i would need to buy a spring kit.

Thanks

Matt

    well stock setting is 110mm and you need a new 4 spring kit. 2 new copresion springs and 2 top out springs.

    windwave may have some is the back some where!

  • would i be correct in saying the current 110mm travel is run on 2 springs rather than 4 (for 130mm). Installation wise how hard is it ? just a case of removing the top caps & sticking them in or is there more to it ?

    Thanks

  • hardly worth the £100 for an extra 20mm travel
