If anyone has one of the below forks, please could you measure the axle to crown while fully extended?
I can't find it on the web...

Fox 36 180mm

Rockshox Lyric 170mm.

Thanks :)

    Nevermind, found it.

    Fox 36 180mm A-C is the same as Lyric 170mm.

    Edit: no its not. damn! :lol:

    How important is axle to crown length?

    Would 1cm make a huge difference?

    about 1/2 a degree

    and lengths can change year on year.
    RS do list and sure fox do as well.

    Yeah found the lists eventually.

    I always thought that the Fox had a much shorter axle to crown, which I what I was banking on so i could get the Lyrics.
    If you look at the Fox, he axle is almost an inch up the leg, but I guess the leg must just be longer.
    Don't want to spend almost 1k on a set of forks, but I want lighter forks.

    However, if Works Components manage to produce the bottom angleset cup for the Canyon (work in progress at the mo), it could still work.
