Possible To Turn A Fox 34 into 135mm Travel?
So, I have 130 and 140 air shafts, are there any spacer tricks available to turn my fork into a 135mm travel unit? ‘19 model year 34.
Yes, it’s incredibly nit picky...but I have...reasons.
don’t yuck my yum.
Anyone have any trick tips?Last edited by rideit; 07-06-2020 at 11:44 PM.

You might be able to cut 5 mm off the bottom of the 140 air shaft. Just check that there are enough threads left.
Edit: that would work on Rockshox, but looks like the Fox ones are a little different, with a seal bottoming against the inside of the lowers and the threaded portion sticking through. I don’t think cutting the bottom of the air shaft will accomplish anything.

You can cut them shorter if you have a lathe, and redo the seat for the o ring at the bottom, but just taking a hacksaw to the bottom isn't going to go well.
This is assuming the design is the same as the 36 and 40.
If you really want to make it happen, PM me.
