Maxle SIDs - reduce...
 

[Closed] Maxle SIDs - reduce travel to 85/90mm?

I see the newer models are 80/100 or 100/120. Do they have a similar internal spacer travel adjust to the rebas?

Would like the 100/120mm 15mm maxle SIDs at 85-90mm (oldish frame geo).

What are my chances?

Think it should be fine.

Modified the spacers in a set of rebas to give 70mm travel for the same reason.

Worked for me!

cheers letme, I've got rebas at the moment, and know they're messaboutable with, I just wondered if there was something about the different SIDs that were tuned to that travel, I know they're a bit more optimised for light weight - shorter stanchions than rebas.

I'm [i]guessing[/i] there shouldn't be any issue shortneing travel, obviously you do that as you use the travel up anyway. Maybe the difference is that the 80/100s can't be extended further.
