Yep, got it done by my lbs a while back, £35 for a new air shaft and they fitted it free. Mind you, they like to keep me sweet cos I spend all my money on bikes. It's a fairly simple job to do yourself if you have the tools, I just CBA

Would raising the front travel by 10mm have any effect on the geometry? In theory would it make it slacker?
