RC38 travel question

[rich_4130]

I have a set of Pace RC38 airforce hollowform forks, 100mm travel version and was wondering if it's possible to set these to 80mm. I know some modern forks can do this with the use of internal spacers but I've got no idea about older types.

Cheers,
Rich.

I would have thought so. Pace also made a 63mm travel version , which can't be too different.
Contact justbackdated.
He'll know, and might even have the spacers.

PM'd you Rich.

Unfortunately with the internal design of the RC38 forks the travel cannot be altered easily-unless the push rods are actually shortened.

Spacers under the piston would do it but I think the fork would be constantly topping out on them.

....I will think on!

Thanks for the info guy's. I'm actually selling the fork in question and have a potential buyer who wants an 80mm fork but would have been interested if he could shorten the travel. His search continues.

according to that the RC38 cannot be travel adjusted.
