Converting a Boxxer Team to a World Cup
- Thread starter E441

Yes you can upgrade the Race to the Team, just by swapping out the race moco cart with the team moco cart.
Ok, thought so, but it is better to ask 
How about performance? I know team has more adjustable compression than race. But is it worth to go team for a rookie in dh?

Exactly thats probably the only negative I have with my Boxxers. Even on their first day out, and Udi's seen this, they were binding and scratching the stanchions. They still do it now even with fresh oil and grease. At the moment I've got 170ml of oil in the lowers and they still do it. I think a bush must be misaligned, so it scratches the **** out of the stanchion.
The build quality of the Boxxer is far too low for a top end fork.
Bump :]
Anyone?
Hard to say if it is worth it for you. The parts are about $120 US..you might want to check into the price over there. I dont have a ride to compare to the team, so I cannot help you much as the exact internal differences. Do a search here for a long boxxer post with the user name 'UDI'. I think he had some solutions/help to do some internal tuning work for the ride.
Thanks!
I just finished my Team to WC conversion, and have a problem.
The fork seems to have a small "gap" at the beginning of the travel. It's definitely on the spring side, and was not there when it was in team "mode".
I double checked my installation and all seems fine. This is the second one i've ever done, and the first one worked out like its suppose to.
Any help??

Is the Boxxer WC stiff enough for a clyde DH'er? Seems like the 32 mm stanchions would be kind of flexy.
yes, and you can even upgrade straight from a race to a WC for under $100.
Is this dude selling a Team conversion with WC stickers? What's the deal with the black lowers?

because a race is cheaper in the first place, and the only thing its lacking from the team that can't be bought for less than a dollar is the high speed shim stacks, which some people can't even tell the difference from when they're in or out. look up UDI's thread, tuning shim stacks in the boxxer worldcup or something like that if you want the specifics, im just telling you its possible, and i've personally done it.
thats weird^ cause the teams lowers are not glossy
That is a WC, there were a few bikes that the WC with black lowers came stock on. There are a few guys on the East Coast that have those forks. Yes the lowers are glossy as opposed to the matte finish of the Team lowers.
How is the Boxxer for bigger riders?
Stiffness wise, it's fine. A 40 is probably stiffer, but I'd sacrifice that for being able to ditch the bike without worrying about a twig tearing a hole in your lowers at the earliest opportunity.
Durability wise, I think it depends more on how you're planning on using it. If most of your riding is on your local trails, pushing up, or at races, where you're lucky to get an hours worth of ride time in in a day, you'll have no problems. Indeed, I'd consider it the best fork in this application, on the basis of performance, weight, and ease of maintenance. What's killed mine is riding big mountain stuff (40 minute+ descents) on a weekly basis, long Whistler days, and generally not being afraid of taking it off the beaten track and the groomed race course. I'm about 190 all geared up, so not super big, but through the summer I have to do a frightening amount of work on this fork just to keep it running. That said, most of the problems I've had could be attributed to defects and bad luck, but eventually you begin to wonder.
Thanks for the input Ted. I'm looking for a triple crown for my SOCOM build. I will be pretty hard on the fork as my main use is lift access days. I'm more of a trail guy than a jump/drop guy but you never know what you come across on these lift days.
I'm not sure if I want to wrench on it all summer to keep it up so it's probably not the fork for me. I would rather have something that requires minimal maintenance as I'm pretty busy during the week.
So the Fox 40 has condom thin lowers to save weight eh?
