ok USD fork lovers, 2 questions for the brains trust.

1. I have a set of 2014 Dorado Experts. Not sure if they are 26 or 27.5" models, how can I tell if they are 26" or 27.5"? I am presently running 27.5" wheels and with the lower crown set as high on the clamp area as possible, I still have just under 9" between the tyre and the crown.

2. Does anyone still make the drop crowns for them?

Has anyone any experience with the IRT and IVA kits for the Dorado?
Would love to get some feedback on the two kits performance wise.

Thanks

I got the IRT upgrade immediately after buying my Dorado. Liked the idea of being able to adjust my entire spring curve. At 200lbs, I'm finding 65 psi in the main chamber, and 110-115psi in the IRT is good for now. First bit of travel is very supple, and ramps up alot more smoother. Add it to that the hydraulic bottom out, and bigger hits feel very controlled.

Definitely recommend. Just be sure to clean the assembly every once in a while.

Now another quick question: can anyone give any tips on wheel/bars alignment for the Dorado? I've followed setup instructions perfectly, followed all correct tightening procedures, and yet my bars are still very slightly crooked (to the right), when the wheel+axle is straight.

Thanks for the input. Sounds good, I was interested in the kit as soon as I discovered it. The ability to adjust the spring curve is enticing for sure.

I can’t tell from your pics but I’m guessing the stem is non-dm. Usually I stand over the front wheel with a leg either side making an effort to get the bars perpendicular to the wheel (easier said than done as we all know) while doing that I get an extra set of eyes to get on the bike and after a bit of back and forth it’s sorted

Speaking of Dorado's i have been working on my Dorado now with raw crowns instead of the stock black crowns,my inspiration came from Motocross so i thought let's do the same thing.

I did the same with an old set of 40 crowns.
A little polish and they’d look great.
