Can I extend my '16 Pike to 150mm?
Have a 2016 Pike RCT3 with sag markings for 130 and 140 mm. Running it at 140 now. Is there any reason I can't just get a 150 mm air shaft and extend that thing a little? Figured for $20 it'd be worth a try versus dropping $500 on a new fork just to gain 10 mm of travel.

Yes, all pikes are convertible to any travel. I believe 120-160 on all 29 and 27.5 models. you won't get the correct sag meter readings, and you'll want to reference a token chart to make sure you keep the same characteristics but go for it.

Yup. It's an easy swap. Anyone with a moderate amount of bike mechanicing abilities should be able to do it in 20-30 minutes.

Word! So pumped. Have swapped between 130-140 before but wasn't sure if the uppers would support extending further. Psyched!!

Just tossing this in here, but if you're going to change the air spring you should upgrade to the debonair kit. I'm not even sure if the standard one is still available, but I just did the debonair upgrade and small bump sensitivity is MUCH better.
