longer airshaft 35mm rockshox

Post by porter_jamie »

bought a 170mm for my lyrik. anyone done one yet? I got a lower leg service kit too. looks like it's a cassette tool now not a 24mm socket. anything else needed, like circlip pliers? I dont have many spanners at home

Upgraded my pikes to this year's debonair the other month , straight forward job. Fiddliest bit was removing the circlip at the bottom of the air shaft.
