Fox FLOAT Air Shaft Assembly

This assembly is compatible with 29-inch Fox 34 and Rhythm series forks. Before purchasing, verify your fork's specific model year and chassis type to ensure compatibility, as internal components can vary between generations.

Yes, swapping your air shaft is the standard method for adjusting travel on Fox FLOAT forks. If your fork is currently set to a different travel length, installing this 130mm shaft will effectively change your fork's travel to 130mm.

Installing an air shaft requires basic suspension service skills and specific tools, including a torque wrench, suspension oil, and a seal driver. If you are comfortable performing a lower-leg service, you can likely handle this, but consult the official Fox service manual for your specific fork model before starting.

You typically replace the air shaft if you are changing your fork's travel, or if the original shaft has become scratched or damaged, which can lead to air leaks and poor suspension performance. It is also common to replace it during a full fork overhaul to ensure the internal seals and surfaces are fresh.

This assembly includes the shaft itself, but it is highly recommended to have a fresh seal kit and the appropriate suspension fluid on hand for the installation. You will need to lubricate the new seals properly to ensure smooth operation and prevent premature wear.
