Does anyone have problems with a lowered Fox float 36? What do you have it lowered to and how much is the max air pressure? I have spacers to lower it to 80mm, is that too low?
Thanks in advance

Anyone with a lowered Float 36?

As I mentioned in the other thread, the lowered 36 float is a real winner. Especially for dirt jumping/street/park use. Several of my buddies and I run them between 80 and 95mm. You'll be just fine at 80mm. As far as pressure is concerned, stick to the max pressure listed in your manual. Unless you're a 300lb beast of a man, it'll be stiff enough at that pressure.
No problems I ran a few at 100mm for a long time, I will be buying another soon.
It's the only Fork i've been running for dirt jumping for years now. After all the Zocchi, and Roxshox broken madness i went through, FOX has never failed me for DJing. It is the goods.
I've had mine lowered from 100mm, 90mm, 80mm, and 70mm. They all worked great. Just depends on how you like your bike to sit/ride.
Fox put me on the new 15mm 32Float for the last few months, and i'm pretty much sold on that now. Lighter, and super stiff for a 32. I got a new one comming in a couple days, and the new Deity proto frame. Can't wait to shred the $hit out of it.

I lowered it down to 80mm and I love it. So much so I am thinking of replacing my pike on my other bike with a 36 rc2 lowered to 100 or 110. The newer float 36s are like butter. Just have to look for a good deal. Does anyone know if 100psi is too much air in the 36 at 80mm?
I'm runnin more than that at 70mm
Sell me your dregs.
I have yours sitting in my garage. Did you see the new Dirt?
I've got to get down to reno to find it. Last time I checked it wasn't out yet.
The issue I did get had that badass shot of you and all your ink as a subscription ad.
Iz weze famous?
Give me a ring. I wants that firk.
how much have you run? What is the highest psi and not screw up the fork?
I think 120 is what i'm runnin
I would love to try the new 15mm float 32 but that means a new wheel.
Yeah, i feel ya, but it is worth it. Fork is so sick.
thread hack but saw that add and ALMOst subscribed for the reason of haveing zach in the ad
Ok, this might be a dumb question, but what is the difference between the 15mm 32 Float and the 15 mm 32 Fit, besides that the Float come in 150mm and the Fit 100?
Wouldn't it be easier to just get the 100 and then not worry about having to lower it? Or is there some benefit to using the lowered Float? Just wondering as I am ready to pull the trigger on a new dj fork. Or should I just go with the 36 Float?
The 36 is kick as$, but the 32 is over a pound and half lighter, and just about as stiff.
really? Hopefully someone will make 20mm to 15mm adapters. 2 brand new 20mm wheels an outlaw and an atomlab pimp-lite
Just pony up for a new 15mm hub and rebuild your wheelz. You'll be set for a long time.
Well sweet then. That is good to hear. I didn't really want to deal with the lowering.
I have to build up a new wheel anyways since the current is just a 9mm QR, and I'm going with a hope and you can get a conversion kit going from 20mm to 15mm.
So far my 36 float at 100mm is doing great. I think I have it at 100psi or maybe a little lower. Definatly worth it.
Just got great news from Atomlab they are in the process of making a 20mm to 15mm conversion for their pimp hub. So I just have to wait a few weeks and I can sell my Marzocchi 4x and my Pike and I can get a float fit 100 for my ds/all around ht.
Rebuild the front with a Hope Pro II and be done with it. They've got adapters available for almost any, if not all the, axle "standards".
Been looking at options on lowering a 32/36 Vanilla. Are they as easy as lowering a Float? I use my one bike as my trail bike as well and just prefer the feel of a coil fork.

No reason to rebuild a brand new wheel when the 15mm adapters are coming out in a few weeks.
The Vanillas can not be lowered that's why everone is using the floats. Unless it is an 05 and older van 32 130
I don't know dude... Remember how long it took Atomlab to release their fork?
Sucks about the Van problem, thanks for letting me know.

Well the fork is a different story it was released and it sucked. So they went back and redesigned it I still think it is a poor design and it is still a couple of weeks from release.
They already have a qr conversion for the pimp hubs so can't be hard to make 15mm conversion. Plus I still have to sell my 4x and then get a float 15mm and then sell my pike. So I have time.
