@StiHacka , perhaps?
I have a luftkappe in a 2019 Fox 34. I know it supposedly uses up some travel space. However, it is a 140 air shaft, but the measurement from just below the dust wiper to the top of the stanchions is a total of 130mm. This seems like a fairly big reduction. Can anyone clarify if this sounds correct?
thanks in advance. I have the fork torn apart if anyone knows the correct measurement of the 140 air shaft from the bottom of the foot nut to the top of the Luftkappe ‘cap’?

that doesn't sound correct. I'm running mine on a 160mm pike and have full travel showing on the gradients and measured stanchion. mine did initially drop travel like you're describing but it was due to a manufacturing issue and replaced by Steve.

have you gone over the troubleshooting FAQ, just to make sure the install was correct?

Install looks 100% correct, but I am thinking they did it on a 130mm shaft by accident.
But I don’t want to be a Karen if this isn’t the case.

Well Sheila if it's the reason then call Karen...

Yeah, I don't see any loss of travel with mine. The fork should sag under the weight of the bike a little.

Common issue. Everyone thinks their shaft is longer than it actually is. Just measure back to the taint.
