Is it possible to modify this to 120mm travel? I read that one of the XC models can do that if you replace the spring.

That's a great question, and I'm not 100% positive, but I'd doubt it. This is a basic XC fork, so 100mm is sufficient for what it's designed for. You can replace the springs for stiffness, say if you are a heavier rider and/or want less cushion, but as far as extending the travel, again, I would be 99% sure that's not possible. The RockShox Revelation is adjustable, but I think you would need a thru-axle vs. the QR for that fork. But I'm not a mechanic, so you may want to ring your local bike shop to be sure. Just make sure they carry SRAM/RockShox so they know what they're talking about.

I also am looking for replacement springs. Does anyone know, or maybe help me with this.

I doubt it. They are design for stock suspension travel. The spring may not extend very well.

If that's all you need I would try a hardware store like ACE or something. Could save you $18+/-...and I assume you still have the other 5 springs, just take one in with you. I can't imagine the spring tension to be all that critical, just the overall size. Good luck!

It varies depending on the length & thickness of the Spring.You can watch it on YouTube.Thank you

It is definitely the spring. I tied the middle of the spring together to give the spring more strength and had no problem. One other of the design problems is the cover plate. Look to see that the inside of the plate is not making contact with the big belt wheel. The way to correct this design problem is to use washers to lift the cover plate away from the middle nut of the big wheel that holds the large belt.

Well, and to be clear this will void any warranty (suspecting that it has expired anyway), I had the same, opened it up and as mentioned in other places, replaced the springs with rubber bands, it now works better than ever. And, it feels much more natural, much more actual plane like. Here is a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXNaKxtUNMg

I had to remove a 5mm spacer to get it to fit properly. That is the same as the 490 degree Bontrager stem which I suspect is made by the same place. Having to drop the stem this additional 5mm somewhat negates the additional rise, but not completely.

I didn't change anything else and it ran great. But i believe if you put a heavier spring it would be better. Hope this helped.

I can further confirm others' comments about the shock mount. The elastics in mine broke and I've had to hack something together with rubber bands!Can anyone suggest a good replacement shock mount--or just a regular mount as, in my situation, the "shock" aspect is overkill.

I'm not sure. You might be able to by really forcing the spring loading, but I think it would be close.

3 factors other than length to consider. 1. Will they physically fit, or will the springs be rubbing against frame, fender, etc., 2. Is the mounting bolts or pins the same width and length. If not, at best you'll have premature and excessive wear of the components involved, at worst, death. 3. Is the length of travel the same or very similar, the bike is designed for certain tolerances, if you extend the travel of the rear wheel you may find that something like a brake line or drive belt isn't long enough to accommodate the additional travel. I am not a mechanic, just an enthusiast trying to help.

I think you may have put it together wrong. The spring does not go in the tube, it is on the outside. I ran into this same problem then realized that I had things a little backward. The instructions leave something to be desired, but if you study the picture on the box, it will be clear.

Hey Scooter. I have an 18spd Norco Big Foot and my Frugah works excellent with it. I have had no issues though I wish I could have more resistance as I build leg strength. There should be no derailleur issues at all; and the rear axle should be left as it is. I didn't need to change anything.

hello,I've recieved a 9,95 cubic feed thank you, but actually I don't recieved the front and rear springs from the suspension kit. How can you help me, my mercandise is incomplete

I used hot glue to mount a 120mm, an 80mm would probably work. Either way it takes some MacGyvering

I agree with redknight that ride quality will be reduced though shock extension is not an issue as the upper bump stop will limit travel. Each spacer will lift "lift" the suspension by a 2:1 ratio since the spring perch and tire contact patch are in that ratio but only by the amount that the spring coil spacing is increased. When I installed the spring spacers the coil spacing was approximately 3/4". With the spacer the turn to turn spacing increased to the expected 1" but the net change is only 1/4" so a 1" spacer yields only a 1/2" ride height change. In my case I removed the rubber spacers and installed a steel spacer between the spring and its upper seat in the frame. This provides a predictable change. If the spacer increases the springs effective length by 1", you will get 2" change in ride height. Remember you will need to adjust camber and toe in with any change.
