In getting a shorter travel bike and I wanted to put my 36Float on it. I know it can be done but i was wondering if someone could walk me through the steps in lowering it. Thanks

Fox has a LOT of manuals on their site. If you look around, you should be able to find the manual for it.... I'm pretty sure they include instructions for lowering/disassembling your fork.

Check the older model years..... search for a while on google and on pinkbike.

Fox forks are one of the simplest forks to lower.

Go to: Forks, 36mm, 36 Float, then choose Chainging Travel at the top o the page.

very very simply, take the rod out of the air side and whack a spacer in and thats pretty much it,

I started taking apart my fork to lower the travel an noticed that I don't have spacers, Do these come with the fork?

You will have to order the spacers through your lbs.

Or pvc pipe, but I would still recommend getting the proper spacers.

Will using a handle bar or pvc hurt the fork in anyway?

I lowered mine with a handle bar spacer... just amke sure u look up the changes in air/oil or wahtever u have. U will blow ur seals if u dont adjust it all right. But when i did mine i didn;t do that and now my seals are blown and f*cking leak.

Floats are air, are you saying that I'm going to need to put less air in my fork after lowering it?
