Luftkappe
The Luftkappe can be installed by anyone who already possesses the
tools and the know-how to service their own fork - or by anybody who has
the tools and can follow instructions closely.
1. You need a
torque wrench
. Don’t try it
without one. Beg, borrow, rent, buy or steal
one from a friend.
2. You will need
10mm shaft clamps
to hold
the air spring shaft. Please don’t try grabbing
the shaft in a vice or in V-blocks, you WILL
damage it.
3. We refer to the Rockshox service manuals
for all aspects of the servicing OTHER than
the specific installation of the Luftkappe to the
Solo Air shaft.
4.This variant of the Luftkappe is not
compatible with DPA forks at all.
It is ONLY
compatible with Solo Air shafts
, which can be
retrofitted into Debonair forks. Once installed
on the appropriate Solo Air shaft, the air
spring shaft can be installed in any Solo Air or
Debonair Pike, Lyrik or Yari from 2014-2022.
Please refer to the compatibility chart on our
website for details.
5. Record your air pressure and rebound
settings before you start doing anything else.
6. Don’t do it drunk. Even if you’re Australian.
7. The Luftkappe only replaces the piston - not
the entire air shaft. We will be removing the
existing piston from the air shaft, and replacing
it with the Luftkappe.
8. Purchased Solo Air shafts generally do
not come with a Sealhead. You may use the
B1 Sealhead
from the Debonair Airshaft if
you have it. We don’t recommend using the
C1 (MY2021) Sealhead as it may top out
noticeably loudly. We strongly recommend
replacing the C1 sealhead with a B1 sealhead.
The replacement B1/B2 sealhead is available
on our website.
Key things to note before you start:
B1 Sealhead
