I have a new Velvet RL and I want to make it 130mm. I know it can be done and I feel comfortable doing it but I would like to know what spacer I need to do it. I would like to have all parts needed in hand so that the fork is not apart waiting for parts. I emailed X-Fusion but no response and I do not want to wait for them anymore.

thanks

The velvet rl is 140mm stock so if you want it 130mm you need a 10mm spacer. fox spacers fit perfect..

The Velvet comes 80mm. 130mm is the max according to the x-fusion web site.

oh thats right it is 130mm not 140mm.. so are you saying you want to raise it up? I don't think you'll have to, it comes set from factory at 130mm not 80mm. at least thats how mine came., i lowered mine down to 80mm with 50mm worth of fox spacers..


here's mine lowered down to 80mm:
