Did you ever receive and answer for this? I am wondering the same thing.I have an older lefty max 130 tpc. It has a black spring in it and i require a blue. Does anyone know if the 140 max springs will swap in the 130?
thanks
You would need to change the whole damper which isn't hard to do if you have the correct tools. I would gladly swap out with you.Can I remove the XLR adjuster and convert it to traditional poptop?
Would it affect performance?
What parts are needed?
no way, you'll need to disassemble the lefty.A quick question to anyone with experience. I need to change my lefty air filter boot. Got a small nic in it.
Is it best to remove the main boot or is there a way to slip the filter boot over or under the main boot?
Thanks for the response! I'm really interested in the 650b. Do you have any experience running the Lefty Ultra on a Rush?There are 3 A-to-C lengths for the 3 types of modern Lefty's.
470mm = 100mm (26) / 70mm (29) - aka Lefty "Speed"
490mm = 120mm (26) / 90mm (29) - aka Lefty "Ultra"
510mm = 140mm (26) / 110mm (29) - aka Lefty "Max"
Those numbers are for PBR/XLR setups...
So there really is no such thing as a 29er specific Lefty since all 3 can be (and are) used on 29er bikes. I think the Flashes come with Ultras set to 90mm. I think the Rushes came with 110mm DLR2 Leftys, so the Ultra will be 10mm taller with the same sized wheel. The 650b front wheel will make the front even taller.
I'm a big 650b fanatic so I say definitely give it a shot. However, you might want to keep your eyes open for a 100mm Lefty Speed if you feel the Ultra makes the front end too slack.
