Hi All
Have a pair of 2011 team revs (120-150) that I would like to change from dual air u-turn to either solo air or a dual position coil due to the fact that they are presumably leaking air from positive to negative and becoming soft over a prolonged ride.
Is this possible with this fork?
We had Abigales Lyriks converted by TF Tuned. Give them a ring, they are quite good on the phone, but it wasn't cheap.

Sounds like a complex solution to a simple problem - a service, possibly replacing a couple of seals will fix this.
There's nothing you can do to Air U-turn as there's nowhere in the uppers to secure a bottom-plate for any other kind of spring. That's what TF told me, and what I saw after stubbornly opening them anyway.
A dual positon or uturn coil conversion is possible, however you'll loose 5 to 10mm max travel (depending on spring rate fitted) due to the negative spring arrangement.

Ooh, I stand corrected. Is that where the negative spring goes on the damper side instead? Might look into changing my old Pike to a DP (sorry Loco, too far away to order from you).

Any idea on rough cost of this conversion?
In terms of spring rate I imagine I would be looking at medium spring, dual position being the preference.
£55 ish would get 140/143mm max travel as fork will be a touch shorter, works out cheaper than a new set of forks if can deal with travel loss 😉
