This job is a bit above my level of maintenance as I'm a bit heavy handed but how much would it cost for the travel to be increased?

Aftermarket or OE forks? OE probably won't be able to be converted without a new CSU assembly which would be silly.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

I'm not quite sure as I've got them second hand. My guess is going to be that they're aftermarket because they have no extra decals on them and the steerer looks like it's been cut to size with an angle grinder and finished off with a file.My god road cycling is scary!

Increasing travel is a matter of removing spacers . Do it yourself . I pulled my rockshox sid apart and serviced them myself with no prior experience . Using the Sram guide it is straightforward.0

Even aftermarket forks can't always be increased to 120mm. My old recon golds from merlin were 80-100mm but not convertible to 120mm.0

Did they come from merlin with a pump and spare seals? If so are OE being sold cheap.0

Nope just a manual!0 -
Oops meant the other way round, if just forks with no accesories are not aftermarket forks but OE take offs or ones destined for OE.0

I've yet to open them up because I don't have fork oil right now. They are pre-owned anyway so I don't know the place of sale. That's the irritating part.My god road cycling is scary! I'm going to keep my relaxing rides to the trails where everything is green, fast and less crazy.0
