Does anyone know if the 2023 Blur XC RockShox SidLuxe Ultimate 190x40 can be made to 45mm? I.e more rear travel?


Cheers!

Ignoring the IF it can, would the rear wheel hit the frame with 12.5% more travel?
I know the TR versions have a 190/45 but nor sure if there are other changes to suite.

The SID can definetly be had in 190/45 so I suspect the 40 has a travel reducer fitted which are increasingly common these days.

As far as I know the frame and rear triangle are the same on the Blur vs Blur TR, only difference is the shock stroke. Here's some good info with pics on the spacer removal... https://www.mtbr.com/threads/new-2021-s ... t-15663556
