Just wondering if the pike 160 and 150 are exactly the same but a travel spacer is added in the 150? Or are they different specific chassis. Basically I need to know if I get a second hand pike150, can I up the travel?

    My 150 has the sag marking for both the 150 and 160 on the stanchions. Not sure if that means they're the same underneath, but it's promising.
    All the gear, no idea and loving the smell of jealousy in the morning.

    I'd expect them to be the same, revelations use the same chassis for 150/140. No spacers anymore though in the solo air system, will require a different air shaft, easy task though, lowers off, undo circlip from bottom of stanchion and slide air shaft out, swap parts on to new air shaft and reassemble.

    Can't see the chassis being any different, would make poor business sense having 2 separates ones for the sake of 10mm.
  • Nope, you need a different air shaft, size info is in the Rockshox Parts Catalogue, I think they are about £40. Also different wheel size use different shafts.
