As a car mechanic I’d never dream of trying something like this, taking the spring off a strut alone can put a hole in your brick wall haha, think I might change career choices.
The premise was pretty much the same on the fox 34 I had. I bought a new airshaft to bump the travel up 10mm. I don't think I "needed" any special tools. It did have grease and oil though! I had to buy some specific tools to work on my Manitou fork though! Really like tooling on my bikes!
Hi, thank you for the video. Are you sure you're going from 150mm to 140mm? I can't seem to find a 140mm shaft; even though I want to switch from 160mm to 140mm, the smallest airshaft on the market is 150mm.
Hello, I have the same bike, I don't like the fork at all, you have tried Sr Suntour, what do you think of Zeron or Aion, they have an excellent price, is it worth the change?
What did you hate about the stock fork? I didn't find it bad. I'm currently running a SR Suntour Durolux 36 and loving it. I have no experience with the Aion or Zeron unfortunately.
It would be interesting to have an explanation why Sr Suntour opted for this. Maybe for ease of service. Seems like they are going for ease of service.
@ToogyHowser sorry for the late reply. XCR, seems like it will not hold more than 60 psi. Any idea? I brought it up to 90 today, and after a few minutes of riding back down. It needs to cleaned for sure.

great video! can you sell the 150mm air shaft to me if you dont need it.
So you how i can replace the head of the airshaft? IT IS so thight!
Technically other than changing the airshaft.
What you did was a full service on the fork? correct?
more of a lower leg service
This is great, unfortunately, if i buy an air shaft from suntour, price doubles because of the shipping. 😢
Получается air shaft можно разобрать и укоротить на токарном станке..?
I just order a suntour xcr34 air boost in 130mm. Can I change it to 120mm with spacers?

nuh. same with rockshox travel adjust rod.
How to change travel for Axon werx34 eq from 100 to 120mm?
where are you from? i have a 120mm i want to convert to 100
maybe we can trade airshafts haha
@@JovenMatthewRafaelC. I think we are very far away; I am from Colombia.
How to 100mm travel, for example using on mtb slopestyle suntour forks
I have been told by Suntour you can get airshafts as low as 100mm for the Durolux
So strange that there is no oil. I wonder how a Rockshox or Fox would perform without oil.

I'm not sure, but it really does make service easier and less intimidating.
I thought it still requires 80wt oil on both legs?? Or is that just the Aion?
It's not easy, hard to buy airshaft where I'm from
Oh man, you are from Russia ?
@@degtarev3484😂 south east Asia, I actually sold my axon werx 100mm and purchased a 120mm last week (currently on sale equivalent to $300)
What if we have an older xc fork that leaks......
which model?
