Morning,

A year ago I changed my 27.5 revelation (that originally came of a Kona explosif) from 120 to 150 by getting a new air shaft.

Im looing at a few different frames and wondering if I could get away with upper it again to 160. The sag markings don't have a 160 so would they take it? Anybody done the same?

Revs don't come in 160mm so I think you're asking a bit much of them. + you probably can't get a 160 airshaft for rs 32mm forks

My advice would be to flog them and put the cash towards a heavily discounted pike from one of the German sites.

As above, you can't get the parts and I've have thought they'd be a bit noodly at that travel.

Pikes definitely the way forward, or stick to 150mm.

Your right, thought I saw a 160 but it is for a pike.
