Eeeeevnin' all.
Couple of questions for you all, Fox like.
I've a set of 2011 Fox Float 140 forks (supplied with my Lapierre Zesty) which being 9mm QR, I naturally was after a set of QR15 lowers to fit them to stiffen up the fork.
I managed to win a set of F-Series lowers on Ebay which were ideal; I'd had a read around and found that you could interchange Fox lowers between models.
However, could I ask the esteemed knowledge here as to anyone hearing the contrary?
Additionally, as they didn't 'quite' go together earlier, with a bit of clunking when compressed, I decided to pull them apart and refit, but in doing so, the damper rod sodding sheared on me as I was tightening it up: are these available as replacements (just the silver bits on the end)?
I'll likely get this lot off to Loco; I can't be arsed sodding mucking about any more...
By the way, it's this bit: [IMG]

That is from memory, but there was something along the lines of the shorter (<120mm 15mm lowers) not being interchangeable with the longer (>140mm) forks.
Thanks for that; the fork lowers look identical - I've measured them up against each other and they are exactly the same in length, girth etc...
You can see here...

ps just emailed the EBay seller to find out what year/travel the forks were...
Where's Loco when you need him!
I know that on the longer travel forks (140mm) they have a webbed brace, but as to the compatibility, I'm afraid I don't have a clue.
It was a while ago now, as I was looking to do the same thing (funnily enough with the QR lowers on my Zesty too). I seem to remember something about the arch being a giveaway, in that it needed to have the relevant bracing in it, as per the LHS example.
This was a good 18 months ago & the bike & forks have since long gone, so my memory is a little hazy.
I seem to remember speaking with Mojo along these lines, as the <120 15QR lowers were significantly cheaper at the time.
Difference between arches is down to the type of fork; Webbed = Floats, non-webbed = F-Series.
However F-Series WAS available in 140mm and I can't see the lowers all being different, other than the webbing giving extra stiffness...
ETA: See here for explanation http://www.mojostore.co.uk/acatalog/Forx_QR15_Lower_Legs.html
"F-Series WAS available in 140mm"
I thought F series only went upto an F120? maybe not then
Seems it's the 'base valve' that I have broken if you look here (and I never knew Fox had this part of their site...) http://service.foxracingshox.com/consumers/Content/Service/QuickTech/32Gen3OBRL_ServiceProc.htm
Arse socks.
Best talk nicely to Loco then and get a service done.
they look to be 2009 lowers, got the same logo/design on my '09 f120's
