hello,

I want to buy SID 26" RCT3 with 15mm axle.

but version with 15mm axle is 120mm only.

Is possible change travel to 100mm? ... I have asked Czech Official dealer a they told me that it is not possible ...
It is true? ... why?



thank you.

    120mm is a different fork. The 80/100 is changeable The idea bing to keep the weight down for the sorter travel fork.

    but RS did not do 100mm version with 15mm axle.

    in technical manual 2011 is how to change 120mm to 100mm ( http://www.sram.com/sites/default/files ... manual.pdf ) page 14

    but I dont know if it is possible in RCT3 version. The weight is almost the same 1365 / 1385
