Sektor Internals

Afternoon all
Anyone know if the internals for Sektors and Revelations are swappable ?
I have some 2010 Sektor RL, and whilst relatively happy with them, they do tend to dive under braking when you run them at 30% sag (I'm quite a heavy rider at 102kgs), so some compression adjustment would be good
Ive read online where people have been trying to swap coil internals, with no luck, but not about air spring
Any ideas ?

Sektor RL do have compression adjustment ie the Motion Control adjuster.0

so follow the guide in the FAQs about removing the spring and changing the top dial."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Possibly, but would not cure brake dive. Well, not much.0

IMO not worth paying to upgrade to dual air (if it would even work). It's nice, but my revelations aren't hugely different to my old pikes (both had motion control so im guessing this is where most of the forks characteristics come from, not the spring as much).
You'd be better of popping a moco unit in it if you don't already have one.0 -
Black box adds a high speed circuit - won't solve your prob! Modify what you have first.0

I have trouble with rockshox hierarchy. Does it go like this:
nothing = rebound control
moco = compression control
blackbox = high & low compression control0 -

IIRC, high speed compression is fixed in all rockshox xc/trail forks.
Blackbox adds a separate high speed compression circuit(not dial)

The heirachy is:
Nothing: may have adjustable rebound
Turnkey: Lockout
Basic motion control: compression adjustment, threshold
Dual flow motion control: Same as above, dual rebound circuits
Blackbox motion control: Same as above, dual rebound and compression circuits0 -
It's go more confusing though - some RL motion control forks have fixed threshold, others adjustable! And some RL have dual flow rebound, others don't (see Reba and Revs).
RCT3 replaces BlackBox and gets a fixed high speed compression circuit, and a three position threshold and independant low speed adjust.
TK is on/off lockout.
R is just rebound adjust.0 -
I don't understand why RL means it has rebound, lockout and compression, surely it should be named RLC!0

thanks guys, my head has now melted from the gazillion variations
I get rebound damping adjustment, but dual flow rebound - what does that do?0 -

Its a separate big hit and small hit return speed. With trail forks that have this feature, the low speed rebound is adjustable, but the big hit is factory set. This is similar to the blackbox dual circuit compression, but for rebound.
Bigger forks, such as the Lyrik, Boxxer etc have adjustable big hit rebound/compression.0 -
Response from Fisher
Dual air spring not compatible with Sektor due to different CSU (i did ask what that stood for but no response).
However, Blackbox damper is swappable with existing MoCo damper, so not all bad
Appreciate the early responses from Nick and Supersonic - wasn't discounting them, just getting distracted with potential ideas0 -
What? No, they don't all have compression adjust.DCR00 wrote:bennett_346 wrote:I don't understand why RL means it has rebound, lockout and compression, surely it should be named RLC!
don't they all have rebound compression, so no need to have that listed ?0 -
All RS RL forks have rebound and compression adjust. Problem is that is should be a 'C', as above, and the fact we have at least three RL versions.
Is a shite naming system/0 -

Crown, steerer and upper tubes(the top bit of the fork)
The internal diameter of the upper tubes is presumably different, meaning that dual air will not fit.0
