Mattlikesbikes Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I posted in the sales forum, but am not getting the eyes. I am sure people have these sitting around the garage. ISO - ~60mm of the old Fox clip on volume spacers to reduce a Float R for my sons bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamsloan Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I made my own with polyurethane washers from Home Depot. Just had to find the right diameter and then cut the notch in the side. Works perfectly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonioGG Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Fill with grease in a pinch. Anything that displaces air volume will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattlikesbikes Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 Re-reading the old manual. It isn't ideal, but I think I can pull a pin out of the spring retainer and move it all down the shaft. There should already be holes drilled as well. Will pull it all apart tonight to see. I'm running a 3" tire on the front, so figure giving him 50-60mm of suspension travel and a 20 PSI fat tire, he should be more than good till we can raise it up.

RedRider3141 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 If you give me dimensions I can model and print it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamsloan Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Wait, are we talking about volume spacers or travel spacers. Two very different things in a fork! I made my own polyurethane travel spacers. No need for glue or anything, they snap in to place just like the store bought ones. I lowered a 26er Fox F100 down to about 60mm of travel this way. Now I'm sure you probably make your own volume spacers to make the fork more progressive. But with lighter weight riders you usually want to get a more linear spring rate I thought.
