hi guys new here so hi !
I'm currently of the bike with a broken elbow ouch!
so taking the time to tidy up my 2011 orange five se
my question is, is it just a case of swapping out the air chamber components and replacing with the DPC to convert these to dual position

i did do a search but couldn't find a definitive answer

cheers G

I'm sure that Simon at Loco tuning would be happy to advise and give you a good price on the parts required.

interested to hear if you find anything out, I have the solo air but fancy some coil forks so a conversion would be a cracking idea.

Nick, how do you rate the blackbox damper? my coil u-turn feel a little dead when deep in their travel.

looking forward to the reports i found out this afternoon that it is just a case of swapping the air side with the spring assembly but wasn't told about upgrading the rebound side to the black box i can't ride for another 3/4 weeks yet so i will report back then

Hey guys! Just wondered if anyone has done the coil to air conversion? OR used their spacer things to perhaps firm up the current spring in their Sektors?

I've got the Dual Position Coil: 150-120mm version. Thinking about air conversion for a bit of weight saving and hoping it would stop the brake dive!

Thoughts?
