What to do with the old damper?

[steve_sordy]

I have a 150mm travel 2019 Revelation RC fork (the 35mm stanchion Rev) with Rebound knob and an LSC dial. It has the Motion Control Damper. I will be replacing it soon with the Charger 2.1damper.

Can the old damper be used in any 35mm Rockshox fork, or just 35mm Revelations? Does anyone know for sure?

Also, I'm pretty sure that the damper is not travel specific, up to 160mm max. Can anyone confirm that?

The bike it is on has covered 1570 miles and the fork had a full service by Sram at 1085 miles, so it's in good nick. Seems a shame to bin it.

I have looked in the Rockshox Spare Parts Catalogue and found nothing to give me the answer.

A couple of years ago I did something similar with a 140mm Fox 32 fork and I was told that the damper would fit ANY Fox 32 fork of ANY age, as long as it had 140mm travel. I put it on eBay and it went within 18 hours!

In search of an answer I rang TF Tuned. They said to only recommend it for other Revelations "to be safe". They were less than convincing, so I rang to the Sram Technical Centre. Once they had understood what I was asking they were very clear indeed. The 35 mm stanchion Revelation Motion Control damper can only be fitted to another 35 mm stanchion Revelation.

It is not what I wanted to hear, but at least it was very clear and concise!
