    I purchased a new fork for my SC megatower and as a result, I'm shifting my forks between my bikes. That means that this 34 factory with very little use needs a new home. I bought this about 7 months ago, and put around 300 miles on it. Since then it has seen 3 lower leg services with the most recent one being 30 miles and 2 rides ago. This fork is in flawless condition with the only flaw being a minor nick in the stickers on one of the lowers. The nick does not go into the paint on the lowers, and its about 3mm in size and is shown in the photos.

    This fork is almost unbelievably light weight and performs excellently. If you're looking for a short offset 29 trail bike fork, this thing is fantastic. You will not find a better cared for, and in better condition fox 34 on the market that has this many extras and upgrades included

    I also have a 140mm air spring that I can put in it for you if you would prefer that. I can offer a slight discount on price if you'd prefer it in 140 and do not want the 130mm air shaft with the luftkappe. Let me know.

    Details on this fork:

    This deal is so good it hurts. This would be an outstanding upgrade from the recon on the fuse. Unfortunately the spousal unit would likely make me a missing persons..... I'm sure it will find a home quickly.

    I should add that there is a start nut installed and I can install this on your bike for you if you bring me a 6 pack, the peso's for the fork and your bike. I'll have everything swapped over by the time return to earth is done playing on my garage TV and we've both had a beer or two.

    The luftkappe is a replacement air spring piston head which decreases the positive chamber slightly, to exchange for an equal amount of negative air chamber volume. It has the same effect that the evol, debonair and megneg air spring adjustments have had. Increased mid stroke support, more supple initial travel due to increased negative chamber volume and a slight increase in progressiveness. I like it quite a bit on these short travel forks as it allows me to run a bit less compression damping because you minimize the hammock effect that most air springs have in the mid stroke. It can be a catch 22 on some longer travel forks as it's the equivilant of adding 1-1.5 air volume reducers. On those larger volume stanchion and long travel forks, I've found that it can make it hard to use full travel for riders under 150lbs or so.

    On these shorter travel, lesser diameter stanchion forks, most people are running 1-3 volume reducers to get the bottom out resistance, so it comes at almost no penalty.

    I don't think that would help me at all, as I'm 140's and usually remove air volume spacers.
    Very tempting though, awesome fork.

    Luftkappe makes a fork more supple - period. They work exceptionally well in Fox forks.

    Someone buy this thing! Better-than-new condition. How is it better? Proper oil volume and a Luftkappe. :thumbsup:

    My fork is also better than new... Erik helped me and gave it some love and about a lb less grease. Also gave me tuning
    tips, raised my bar and got it working really well, my arm pain is 80-90% gone despite going faster than I've ever gone (that's not saying much
    but it sounds good).

    I just picked up a Pike Ultimate at a deep deep discount. The answer doesn't matter anymore.

    I have the Pike Ultimate fork and love it. So much better then any Fox I've ever had....i think you'll like it a lot.
    Running 1 spacer and less air than rockshox recommends.
