convert coil uturn to dual air

Anonymous

i have an 07 revelation 426 coil uturn fork.

is it possible to convert the coil spring into an air unit, if so can someone link me to an online place for the parts

so far i have found this: http://www.petracycles.co.uk/rockshox-d ... 68214.html

but form looking at the parts list i thnk i need a service kit ( part number 11.4310.705.000) and the top cap assy (part number: 11.4311.387.000) which i cant find

I think it is yes, but give me time to look into it lol. I did the same with my Tora.

The air seals, seal on the inside of the spring leg, if there is any damage/scratching from the spring on the sealing service this will cause issues.

i had a response from another tuning place who told me they wouldnt recommend this action, i am assuming for the same reason.

does anyone know what weight the xfirm spring is designed to work with? i fitted one to a coil pike in the past and it was still way too soft for my massive hulkiness.

Sell the Revs and get some Tora 318 Solo Air. With alu steerer they are actually lighter than coil revs,and they both have the same lowers.

is that a fact? this may well be a good idea, do the toras have motion control?

The 1st generation coil Uturns were 4.5lbs, and my Tora is just under that. This is why I have never contemplated getting a Rev until this year, as thhey used the Tora lower legs and weren't really worth the extra.

Yep, the 318 has motion control, but the floodgate adjust is fixed unless you open the fork up and fiddle with it.
