Hi,

posted up a while ago about changing the travel on my forks to 140mm from 160mm. a link was posted on how to do this. i am going to be doing this tonight, quick question – is there a way of checking which travel option they are set at before stripping them down?

cheers

measure the stanchions

would they be measuring what travel they should be or should they measure more?

The stantions will be showing a couple of mm more than the travel they are giving. When I say showing I mean in between the crown and the lowers.

For example if they are set at 140mm they will be showing about 142(ish)mm same goes for 160mm.

i have measured them and they are showing 158mm

checked my old judys that are 100mm travel and they are showing 124mm of stanchion

?????????????????????

They are set at 160mm at the moment then

Take the springs/air out of your judys and compress them I bet they are 120mm travel. A lot of judys had travel spacers that you could move around to adjust the travel on them much like the way you change the travel on Marz forks.
