Hello all. I've just picked up some 150mm RS Revs off a pal with the intention of reducing the travel to 130mm so they'll fit on my HT. Another option is to put the Revs on my 5 and stick the 5's current 140mm DT XMM's on my hardtail. The HT can only has a range of 100 to 130mm so is it possible to use spacers on the DT's to reduce travel like you can on the RS's??

I looked into this a while ago - and couldn't find any info or spacers for it. You *could* have a go at spacing down the air rod, and see if it works - it is just reducing the volume.... LoCo may be able to help if you fire him an email - although he doesn't do DT forks, he may be able to help or at least have a go...

Cheers for the reply. Don't think I'd go DIY on the DT's as they're nearly new and I'd stuff them but might give Pace a ring.

Id be interested in what they say. Would like to reduce exm150 to 130. As they sell an exm 130 it would be good to know if it was just a spacer difference.
