Rock Shox Air Shaft Solo Air

For the higher quality Solo Air forks from 2013, the Air Shaft must be replaced to change the spring travel.

Why can not you handle spacers? The pressure equalization between positive and negative chamber takes place via a milled recess in the standpipe when the fork is completely rebounded. Therefore, the travel must be adjusted over different lengths of Air Shafts, so that the main piston is in the fully rebound state always at the point with the bypass in the standpipe.

For replacement, the lower part must be removed from the uprights and the Lutffedereinheit removed from the standpipe. When assembling the fork must of course be re-lubricated. We are happy to help you with the right lubricant and quantities for your fork.

Incidentally, the fork length changes by the same amount as the travel - 1cm less travel means 1cm less installation height, etc ..

Rock Shox recommends adding a token per 1cm less travel to maintain the same characteristics.

• travel adjustment
• Installation requires partial disassembly and relubrication of the fork
• With spring travel reduction, additional tokens may be needed

Please direct yourself in compatibility issues only after the manufacturer number, not after the possibly incomplete or too general article designations!

Unfortunately we can not keep up with more than 4000 Rock Shox spare parts if a single spare part is suddenly compatible with another fork or that a spare part "for Reba" only fits the first series and not one of the two later ones.

Contact us at info@hibike.de for your questions about Rock Shox parts - we also have a large collection of current and older parts catalogs, oil level documents and service manuals. To identify your fork or damper, it's best to send meaningful photos. Due to the time required we can offer this service only by email and not by phone.

So there is a perfect balance between them, like yin and yang. For a comfortable and predictable ride, you can set the lightest suspension fork on the market in seconds.
