I know that from the shop, they're supposed to get 72mm. That's fine, and its been working for me. I just noticed the dust lines on my stantions though, and they're looking like more than 72mm. So I measured. Looks like on the big hits, I'm getting 78mm of travel. yeah, wooo! a whole 6mm additional, I know, big woop, but should this be possible? Think I'm doing damage to the internals? Can't remember what pressure I'm running, but it feels real good right now.

67mm. Between fully deflated and my whole weight on it, and inflated to unridably high pressures and pulling the legs even further apart. I wonder what the ugrade option$ are.

About the same at Cloxxki -- 65mm as measured by the dust. I wonder if the bottom-out springs take away from the 80?

 

[Cloxxki]

In regular riding I never got more than 60mm. If I put any less air in it, the forks just sinks on me on the slightest of braking or descend. I used it to take off the peak impacts only, my 2003 BW .8 is much easier to get a good allround setting for. The CX-1 just waits for the day it'll be rebuilt, I don't see myself using it unless I find a frame somewher to build with old parts or something.

Zero - it blew up the second time since purchasing it last November.
Sweet.
Can you say...."ship, rebuild, ebay?"

Hmmm... Really? How much? PM me.

 

[Cloxxki]

Please do let us know what rebuild options you got, and especially how $$$.

Sheesh, seems as if I'm the only one so far getting any kind of quality travel out of this fork. What am I doing that's so different from you guys?

I just checked my pressure, its set at 150psi (for my 230# carcass). I've lubed the seals internal and out with a light teflon grease. Other than that, I've put it on and forgotten about it. Jason, what do you have to say/think about this?

No, I'm quite happy with mine, too. To me, 65 out of 80mm is quite respectable -- it means I've got it dialed in correctly (145psi per side for my 200 pounds) with room to give a little bit further for bad landings and such. I service mine with Slick Honey, wipe down the stanchions after every ride and check airpressure only occassionally. It's not the plushest suspension, but it's been very reliable for me.
