Lyrik - can extend 160mm?

[damo666]

Hi brains trust,

I'm looking for a Lyrik to extend my Strive out to 170mm (older 2016 model, non-boost, currently 160mm Pike).

Just confirming that there is no issues with extending a few years old 160mm Lyrik to170mm with a replacement air spring?

thanks in advance!

No issue. Just swap air shaft.

Yep as above no problems. I'm running my 2016 lyrik rc at 170, it's great to have that little bit extra.
First tried a Debonair 170mm airshaft which was pretty good but had a fair bit of stiction on the main seal, going from comp to rebound.
Now using a standard 170 shaft with a luftkappe, which is more awesome and i'll be keeping it this way.
Keep in mind the 170 only uses 1 token from factory, see how it feels for you. I was on 2 at 160, 1 at 170, 0-1 with luftkappe.
