Just recently got myself a set of the risse trixxy fork.
They guy only used them a few times and had no info on the travel amount.

Does anybody have an idea how to know the amount if travel these have?
And can they be made 8" travel.
I know they come in 5,6,7" versions but how would I know?
As they have a brake mount on the stanchion so just measuring the stanchion does not Help me.

Help would be great

Take out the springs and measure how far the stanchions move.

Sorry but when I remove the springs the stanchion will pull all the way out.
Or do you mean put the top cap back on and see how far the cartridge rod allows you to extend the stanchion?

measure the exposed stanchion, unscrew the top-caps. compress fork. measure the exposed stanchion. do simple math...

2. Huck to flat down some sweet stairs
3. Measure zip tie movement
4. ????
5. Profit

I'm assuming the 6" trixxy will have shorter stanchions than the 8". Why did you buy that anyway?

Dunno I have a fetish for USD. Forks and the guy had them on a snow bike and used them twice
Like new they are the newer all black version also they only cost me £90.00

Rode a champ a few times, amazingly fun if completely uncontrolled and long travel. I just bounced up and down plattekill
