Fox Float 2014

mxh

I'm looking at buying a set of 2014 Fox 34 Float 27.5 150mm forks - they're second hand but unused.

Ideally I'd like 160mm travel - I know that for the 2013 34s, the standard fork was 160mm, but some were shimmed down to 150mm to be used as OEM equipment for some brands - however they all used the same chassis and could be reverted to 160mm.

Does anyone know if this is the same for the 2014 forks - ie is there a spacer in these 150mm forks that I can remove to make them 160mm, or do Fox make them as a dedicated 150 now?

poah

How much?

You just need to change the shuttle bumper for a Fox 34 160mm one:

That link is for the 2013 forks - which I'm aware came in the 160mm chassis and the 150s were shimmed down.

What I need to know is whether the 2014 150mm forks are shimmed down 160s, or whether they're now built as 150mm

Its exactly the same technology in a 2014 fork. Why would I have posted the link otherwise :roll:

If you looked at the Fox website for 2013 forks, there's only one 34 27.5 listed - and it's 160mm.

This year, they list 3 forks - 160, 150 and 140mm. That suggests to me that things may have changed between 2013 and 2014 - and indeed there is plenty of talk of improvements / changes between the two years.

So when you linked to an article about the 2013 forks I think there was more than enough reason for me to question it.
