    Luftkappe Question

    I have a luftkappe in a 2019 Fox 34. I know it supposedly uses up some travel space. However, it is a 140 air shaft, but the measurement from just below the dust wiper to the top of the stanchions is a total of 130mm. This seems like a fairly big reduction. Can anyone clarify if this sounds correct?
    thanks in advance. I have the fork torn apart if anyone knows the correct measurement of the 140 air shaft from the bottom of the foot nut to the top of the Luftkappe ‘cap’?

    Curious to know about this. Ive often considered one. Wonder if the secus would take up travel too? Id imagine vorsprung would answer fairly quick? They seem fairly responsive

    Shoot the Vorsprung guys a message, they are quick to respond, and with very detailed information.

    Yes, I definitely did that, with measurements and everything.

    Just to follow up here, Luftkappe/Melius got back to me super quick with the correct measurements, and it was the wrong air shaft. Thanks, everyone!
