Googled it but there's loads of conflicting info. Thought I'd ask on here in the hope that Loco or someone who has done it (or established it can't be done) can advise? Mine are 2013 RCT if that makes any difference. Got a new bike itch and the Nukeproof Mega 290 frame is tempting me...

Yes, just change the air shaft, they can go up to 160mm max.

The people saying they can't are probably confusing them with Revelations which are 140mm max in 29er spec. 😉

Part number 11.4018.026.004 for 29" 150mm. I have a 160mm air shaft 29" for sale?

Davosaurusrex .. you seem to be living my life. I've just ordered a Mega 290 frame from Ubyk and I was wondering how to manage with my 140mm Pikes and had Googled myself to a standstill. Now I'm a happier bunny.

Thanks fellas.

Loco - how much roughly would a full service and travel change be?

Sandal - how much are you asking?

Poey - gizza go mister!

On a slightly related note, am I right in saying that I can use a 27.5 120mm air shaft to achieve a 29" Pike with 100mm travel?

That would be the part to make 29" 100mm but I think it would need 5 or 6 bottomless tokens and SRAM don't list that as an option on their charts, they do list the 27.5" 120mm though and the 29" box is blank

Apologies for the slight Hi jack, I may be selling some new in the box 2016 RCT3 29er 150 pikes as I'm building a new bike & picked up some near new Fox Fit 4 150's which I prefer.

No doubt far more cost effective to get mine converted but how much are you looking for?

davosaurusrex

If I sell them it's 470 new in the box, ideally I'd like to try them but I think I'm going with the fox forks to be honest as I have them on my bronny & really like them.
