#JeffKendallWeed #Fox38 #ChangingFox38ForkTravel The Fox 38 is an amazing mountain bike fork, and lucky for all of us, we can configure it for many different travel lengths with a simple swap of the air shaft. The larger air shaft assembly does cost a bit more than the units used in the 36 and smaller forks, but it’s not too terribly expensive. Please note that you will need to use two types of Fox fork oil for this- both 20 wt Gold Oil and 5 wt PTFE (Teflon) infused oil. A big thanks to Jenson USA for sponsoring this video!
