I have an AVY damper in my totem and it makes it a completely different fork, for the better. MUCH MUCH better. All of my bikes have been done by Craig, they were all huge improvements. The fork actually works as it should, like a moto fork would feel if it were shrunk down.
Compression and rebound, but I have never needed to adjust anything. Craig sets up everything for your weight, riding ability and type of terrain. The open bath damper has speed sensitive compression circuits for lo, mid and hi speed hits. The mid support is what I noticed first right off the bat. No more brake dive or falling into the travel on super steep descents. On trail riding, climbing slowly up chunky, rocky terrain is a breeze. The fork rolls over effortlessly and doesn't knock you off line. I won't ride a MTB without his dampers.
I have a lyrik RC2DH that has the old air spring setup in it it was a 160/170mm fork, what I didn't realize when I bought a new air spring that the one with the Blue seal head is fixed travel I bought a 180mm one thinking I was getting a good deal it was $40 bucks, where the other ones are like $150 cad,I figured I could lower it, can that fork handle 180mm worth of travel or do I need to find a different base plate and were can I find one Google wasn't much help
Hi all I was wondering if I might be able to put volume reducers in my totem solo air I know Rockshox doesn’t make spacers specifically for it but could I maybe make something or use Fox 40 reducers instead.

You need a air cap from a pike N1 fork it has the same thread pitch as your lyrik .. I just did this to mine

You can still lower the new air shift. I did that to my lyrik. It was 160. I put the tall baseplate in and added spacers between the seal head and baseplate. Just make sure your spacers are same diameter at the baseplate.
