Yeah, I should ask fluid function. I've always been told they're not in the business of charger revalves but admittedly I've never asked them directly.
If so, that and a B1 sounds the best option. Everything else is such an expensive rabbit hole it doesn't make sense (also I've heard the forks suffer from being underdamped even more once coil converted, since it eliminates some friction from the airspring, so do a vorsprung coil and an HC97 and now you've almost doubled the price of an already not-cheap fork. I can't stomach it.) The irony is I really like the super deluxe ultimate air, so I'd like to make the lyrik work to keep things the same brand and serviced at the same shop
I'd been wanting to try a travel change on my new frame anyways so I bought a new 150mm B1 for 50 bucks shipped, then I'll have the parts, so I can also make my 160 and 170 air springs B1 flavored if needed. Should be interesting.
