Rock Shox SD Coil travel/stroke adjustment?

Hello all,

I know that you can travel the air version of the Super Deluxe to any stroke you prefer by the internal spacer.

What I am wondering is, does the same apply to the coil Super Deluxe?
I couldn´t find a used 230 x 65 in the past weeks that would fit my Slayer, so I am exploring other options.

Thanks for helping!

You should be easily able to find a 5mm spacer for it, or ask your LBS.

Hello stripes,

maybe I wasn´t clear. I would go and buy a shorter stroke shock and get rid of the travel spacer, as long as the technology is the same as the air Super Deluxe. Because in that one, you can remove a spacer to bump the stroke from 57,5 mm up to max. 65 mm.

I need to know if the coil SD works that way.
yes, you can do that
Do you happen to have any pictures or know of a source which might have any?

You could but is it because you want to change shocks from air to coil, or you already have a coil?

I have a Super Deluxe ultimate air shock, but I would like to try a coil, after I was fairly unimpressed by the Fox DHX2, which came with the frame.

the spacer is the plastic disc underneath the bottom out bumper

Thank you!
Do you know if the sidluxe works the same way? Meaning - for shocks of the same length, they stroke changes are just internal spacers up to the maximum stroke for that length?
