Unanswered Push ACS3 conversion question.

[johnc]

Thinking of converting my air forks to coil with Push ACS3. Has anybody done this and did you have to factor in extra weight of e-bike when calculating spring strength.
Cheers.

I'm also interested in this question...
Been debating on converting my Fox 36 to go with my DHX2.

Technically you do! But everyone has their own preference on how your fork should feel. I weight about 215 on a F36 170mm fork. Black spring is for 210-235lbs and Green is for 185-210lbs. I was lucky, my brother had both Black and Green spring. I started with the Black for several rides and thought it was just a touch to stiff. Put the Green spring in and now the fork feels incredible!

Was it pretty easy to install on the 36?

Its pretty straight forward to install but makes a world of a difference as far as small bump and mid travel support. I have it on my Nomad and Turbo Levo Comp. To me its a no brainer for that shitty ass fork the Levo Comp comes with. Plus, I went with a larger coil to increase my travel from 150mm to 160mm. Not sure if you can do it with a Fox set up though.

Yes. I immediately converted my 160 Yari to 170 with ACS-3 and Push HC-97. Fabulous upgrade.

I highly recommend emailing Push directly for spring recommendations. They have this process dialed in tight.
