[Closed] Yari 27.5+ air shafts?

So, I'm changing from my HT to a FS soon, but using all the same components, so essentially swapping frames. The new bike is 140mm travel, and my Yari's are currently 130mm.

They're 27.5 Plus, Boost spec, and I can't work out what air shaft I need to get! Do I get the 140mm 27.5 or 140mm 29 air shaft? Since they're basically 29" wheel fitment...

The whole range is for sale here, and I just don't want to get it wrong!

Thanks

you either have 27.5 boost yari or a 29/27.5+ one, it will say on the back of the fork.

So there isnt really a 27.5+ fork specifically just a 29er one that is also 27.5+ compatible.

29/27.5 Boost then. So, a 29er 140mm air shaft?

I'll report back, I've ordered the 160mm 26" wheel travel air shaft from CRC, same part as on bike-components.de, but cheaper.

They are shared parts so it usualy says 29" 140/27.5"150/26" 160 etc on then anyway. Like when I fitted a bunch to peoples bikes making 150 bikes 160 in 27.5" they all flogged the shafts to their mates who had 26" pikes to make theirs 160 as well.
