I finally recieved my F4i forks complete with axle, calipers and master cylinder. Will take them to a specialist to strip them so I can paint the lowers in satin black and hopefully my Wilbers springs from my 6th gen forks fit in with no problems. Will also be rebuilding the calipers and paint them in gold. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk
That is awesome Richieg. We have the same goal lol. I rebuilt my 6th gen forks last year and put in Wilbers springs in too. All I want to do now is delink the brakes as I am really hating the clutter and want to shed some weight off. I already knew about the 10mm to 8mm difference and was thinking about sleeving it too. However I didn't know about the bottom out cone so thanks for the heads up. I might just go ahead and order everything, but I managed to find a pair of complete F4i forks in good working order I just need confirmation on shipping price. If so it'll save me a huge headache. But if that fails at least I have the F4i lowers ready to be shipped just incase. Let me know how it goes [emoji4] Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk
Hey, did you manage to this? As I'm in the process of doing the same. Sourcing parts is very difficult where I'm from. I may have found F4i lowers but thats it. So if I could use my 6th Gen stanchions and internals (also have custom springs in) and fit them to the F4i lowers without any modification that would be awesome. I'm ready to give up the compression adjustment for the moment as my main goal is to delink.
