[Closed] Reducing travel on Rock Shox forks?

I've got some sektors (and hopefully picking up some Dual air revs at the weekend).

So I'll have plenty of the 10mm spacers to play with.

The question is, can I keep adding spcers to the sektors to reduce travel further, i.e. will the Sektors run Ok at ~110mm with 4 spacers in them as they conly come supplied with 2 to make them 130mm?

It should be possible but you won't know until you try. Are they coils spring or air spring? the only issue I can think of is if a coils spring you end up with too much preload or for a air spring too soft to prevent bottoming out

Mine's solo air, the coil sprung models are all u-turn.

woirth trying then. YOu will be reducing the starting volume of the air chamber so you might get some odd effects - ramp up too quick if enough preload to stop it sagging excessively but worth a try
