Travel spacers included with 2013 Sektor RL Solo Air forks?

[Oscar Hinde]

Hi all! Sorry for this possibly very boring question but do this year's Sektor RL Solo Air forks come with travel spacers? They are not selling 140mm forks any more and 150 is pushing it a bit far on my frame (2007 Kona Dawg). The thing is neither the Sram website nor the online shop I usually buy from specify wether or not the spacers come with the fork. I know last year they did (and a nifty shock pump as well). Any thoughts? I've searched all through the net and I can't find a definitive answer.

Thanks!

Take a look at the SRAM 2013 parts catalog. To change the 2013 solo air travel you need to change the entire air spring assembly. The catalog also says the following "All-Travel Spacer Kit (not compatible with 2012 SID/Reba/Revelation Solo Air spring)" they probably mean "2013".

Thanks for the reply! I saw that, but then the technical manual for the sektor describes the process of assembling the solo air spring including the travel spacers, hence the confusion. I've written mails to several shops but they haven't answered yet.

Another thing. If I can't easily get the Sektor down to 140mm, how do you guys compare it to the Manitou Minute Pro? My best riding buddy has a Manitou fork (not the minute) and swears by it. From what I've read it's mabe not as stiff as the sektor but a tad lighter and just as plush. Also the whole Manitou through axle thing is a bit of a turn off. Thoughts?
