My first post
I am about to upgrade the damper and there good deals on ebay I am not sure about whether or not i will need a damper specific to fork travel or if one size fits all
Any advice appreciated

As far as I know, one size fits all since typically all you change is the air shaft to adjust travel. @dcamp29 might be able to verify.

I keep finding mixed messages online: Is a yari closer to a lyrik chassis, or a pike chassis?

 

[dcamp29]

You need to buy the damper that corresponds to the wheel size of the fork (27.5 or 29) otherwise it should be good.

Lyrik = Yari chassis- they are the same

Same chassis as the Lyrik
Since Lyrik does not come in a 29 I should use a Pike damper?

 

[dcamp29]

Lyrik/Yari are available in 29"

Pike has a different internal length. DON'T use a Pike damper.

Thanks for the reply
My fork only had 120 travel so i am wondering if the lyrik damper advertised on ebay is going to be to long.

All Lyrik chassis bottom out at the same compressed length (per wheel size), so any length damper (per wheel size) should get short enough.



Also I forgot to mention- Pike has different top-cap threads due to thinner walled tubing- so a Pike damper definitely won't work.
