Mutant forks Boxxer + Yari?

[Mywifesirrational]

Anyone here into making some interesting builds?

Thinking of putting boxxer lowers on a Lyrik / Yari CSU, same diameter stanchions, seem it would / may work?

Also, do boost forks have the same width CSU / stanchion spacing, as in can you stick no boost lowers on a boost CSU - I am presuming boost is only the dropout spacing.

I figure I can miss this (sub) standard, and have a 2017/2018 fork that's no boost and a 20mm axle, win win.

Then throw a avalanche damper in + ti spring and wammo a ridiculously expensive fork.

I have no answers, but that's an awesome frankenfork idea. I'll ask a few talented guys OS I know for you.


Where were you when this idea hit?

Assuming spacing is identical, going to sell the worlds only boost double clamp forks to some poor unsuspecting fool?

Dave at RSF suspension in the UK tells me it won't work, different stanchion spacing. Sorry dude

 

[Mywifesirrational]

Different spacing for boost vs standard? Or, different spacing for the lowers?

I had Lyriks and boxxer parked in the garage for years until recently and never tried or measured it, and Sram no longer put proper schematics out

Dave tells me the stanchions for boost are further apart

Check the part numbers for boxxer crowns in the latest 2019 SRAM manuals and see if there are different crowns for boost and non-boost.

Are you planning to use retro boost or super boost v1.3?

Forget that. I'm a twit as there's no "boost" bullshit for the 20mm axles (or are they already ultraboost++?).

Ah ok, Good news is I have a 2017 non boost Lyrik / Yari CSU, may still be in business - makes sense as the CSU's now come in A1 or B1 varieties.

Retro boost 20x110 was perfect - but I am not into marketing bullshit to sheeples.

15x100 made no sense, as it was not lighter, or stiffer.

15x110 makes even less sense, one step forward to steps back.

Now the new boxxer boost which is compatible with 15x110 boost is completely retarded.

@Zaf perhaps you could help @SummitFever out with this one?

Ahhhh...mongoboost.

@pink poodle I'm on it!!!

@SummitFever 20x110 and 20x110BOOST!!!
There is such a thing, the new Formula forks use it, as to some of the SR Suntour and DVO forks. Original 20x110 kept the same hub flange spacing as 15x100 in order to make them compatible (Increase in stiffness comes from a superior brace on the axle). 20x110mm BOOST hopes to make a good standard even better, by widening the flanges into the available space. So different brake mounting position (backwards compatible with the right spacer to standard 20x110mm).

So the new DH boost, will just require a 5mm (?) rotor spacer for backwards compatability and a redish?

Standards are great.

 

[pink poodle]

See @SummitFever? More bullshit than you could have imagined!!!

@Zaf I think you got confused... 20x110mm didn't "keep" the same flange size as those that came after...it was the og. I maintain that this is another bullshit modulation which at best will make 1 bee's dick of difference. It is designed to sell more products and force change.

Original 20x110 kept the same hub flange spacing as 15x100 in order to makethem compatible

Nah you've read it all wrong man. You actually need to invert the rim prior to lacing them.

Oh FFS...

We need modular hubs, then non of this matters

Dt swiss tried that with the Tricon series. The flanges were bonded to the rest of the hub shell.

To quote pinkbike "Last year a number of RockShox's athletes raced on what was referred to internally as the 'Lyxxer' – a Boxxer that was running 29” Lyrik lowers." So in theory boost lowers should fit onto existing boxxers...

 

[pink poodle]

All these efforts and justifications to try and replace what already worked really well...20x110. I smell bull shit, lots of it.
