Hmmm, thinking about this a bit more, the dampening rod is under tension from the spring preload, so its extended fully up with the fork cap off. Not sure why it wouldn't have changed after you trimmed the nut thinner to get the 10.5mm thread extension, that should have dropped the final height of the fork cap by 2.5mm relative to the bottom of the fork.Įdit: you did remember to tighten the fork cap against the top of the nut on the damper rod first, before bringing the slider tube up, so that the 10.5mm adjustment couldn't move while attaching the cap to the top slider tube. So if you are only able to get 8mm of threads into the fork cap, that means your overall length will be 2.5mm too long, which is right about at your 1/8" extra length on the right fork. ![]() You then screw the fork cap onto the threads on the dampening rod, and this determines the final height of the fork cap, thus the overall length of the fork, because the upper slider tube then slides up to mate with the fork cap for the final assembly. ![]() Click to expand.Hmmm, thinking about this a bit more, the dampening rod is under tension from the spring preload, so its extended fully up with the fork cap off.
