Reducing travel on f29 120mm to 100mm

[mattybfat]

Like the title say. 2010 fit cartridge. Here is what I know yes it can be done as it came with a spacer, no info anywhere from fox manual or on site that I could find. Searched high and low at the usual places and came up empty. I know it's the left leg, so someone with how to or link would be appreciated...

Between the seal and the spring.

Tear down is the same procedure as normal, just release the pressure, take out the air spring adjust, refill, reseal.

I've swapped my F29 from 80 to 100...was unhappy and went back down to 80.

Allen keys, 26mm socket as well as a 10mm socket, torque wrench, fox float fluid, fox suspension fluid, couple rags, and a rubber mallet.

quick question. Why would you want less travel?

quick question. Why would you want less travel?

Some bikes are designed around a specific amount of fork travel. You wouldnt want 140 mm of travel on say, a Stumpjumper hardtail. It alters the angles and changes the geometry/handling characteristics of the bike.
