Fox fork travel help

[dandy1]

OK, looking for some fox 34 or 36s, but most seem to running 160mm of travel.

These are for an orange p7, and according to the orange website, 140mm is optimal. I presume I could get away with 150? But 160 is surely too much?

Are these forks adjustable? Via spacers? Replacing damper? Each model seems to be different, or are they kind of set at 160?

This modern malarkey is confusing!!

Thanks all

Should get away with 150 but 160 will be too much. Unfortunately with Fox you have to replace the entire air spring assembly which can get expensive. 160mm seems pretty long for a 34, I thought most of them were shorter travel than that as they were designed for trail bikes.

Have to be Fox? Rockshox Pike is a nice fork at 140mm and much easier to home service.

Thanks for the reply.

Thats a bugger, was hoping it was going to be quite simple.

I've run pikes before and loved them, but this is a build for a mate and he's after fox unfortunately
