Woooo! I've always wanted Maven power with the lever ambiguity of Shimano's wandering bite point! Count me in!

2/20/2026 11:22am Technically feasible, yes, but as mentioned above requires some machining and modifications most home mechanics aren't equipped for. IIRC the 180 has a longer shaft and isn't configured in a way that more spacers will work.

A good suspension shop can machine a 100mm air shaft for you. I've had a couple done over the years. I have an '18 36 831 that I wanted a 140 shaft, the shop didn't have any so I had one modified for a 160mm. And last year I had a Fox 40 shaft modded to be 180mm travel.

Adding some bars to an Evil and pretending it's an eight-bar linkage. Be right back.

2/13/2026 1:42pm the '16 36 float can be internally adjusted in 10mm increments spacers. there were 2 versions of the air spring shaft for that era: 160 max travel and 180 max travel. the 160 can be adjusted down to 110mm, the 180 can only go down to 130mm. here's the instructions: https://tech.ridefox.com/bike/service-procedures/576/2015-2017-36mm-flo… the spacer(s) you'll need are p/n 234-04-627. might be...

2/13/2026 7:57am part of me wants to say maybe an early mountain cycle shockwave based on the linkage? but the front triangle, particularly the seatmast, doesn't seem quite right for that. post it on the Vintage Downhill Group on facebook, those folks are super knowledgable and could probably help ID it.

Great question. I don't know yet. I'm going to ride the fork when it gets back without any additional info, and then follow up with Push to get the details. Whenever possible, I try to know less during a product test so I can hopefully avoid confirmation bias.

2/11/2026 9:49am just curious - in this context did "highest selling" mean total number of units sold, or percentage of inventory sold?

2/11/2026 8:51am to your last point - as I mentioned above, bikes for categories directly linked to world cup racing are safe.

2/11/2026 8:45am if enduro racing dies at the WC level as rumored, i could certainly see a contraction in that bike segment for non-motorized offerings
