Hi, I am looking at performing the exact same mod on my Epic Evo. 

Which parts were needed to convert the shock: 

Air shaft: 42.5mm (already found a source)

Air can: RockShox Air Can Assembly for Super Deluxe C1/Deluxe C1 (2022+) - Linear 37.5-45mm - 11.4118.059.017

Any others?

Do you also know if the fully fledged "adaptive" flight attendant is achieved, when the pike/super deluxe upgrade kit is combined with the quarq XO powermeter?

Massive thanks in advance!

Take a look at the Rockshox Spare Parts Catalog 2024, Super Deluxe Air C1 (2023+). From there, choose air can (number 6), damper body (number 7) and damper shaft (number 13).

I used progressive air can and 42.5mm stroke damper tube with HBO. My part numbers were following:

11.4118.059.015

11.4118.054.425

11.4118.101.450

 

Keep in mind that you have to calibrate the rebound pin during the conversion. Otherwise your rebound will be fully closed all the time. For that, you need a tool number 00.4318.073.000. Instructions under manual called "2023 Eyelet and Damper Shaft Replacement Service Manual English". I could not find the tool, but the dimensions were listed in the manual and I was able to get it machined locally.

yes, the new adaptive feature came to this system as well during a software update. It can be used with every quarq power meter.

Hey, 

Thanks a ton for the guidance! Are you happy with the progressive air can or would you have gone with the linear if doing it again? Did you perform the shock rebuild yourself and was it manageable, or would you drop it of at a service center to avoid the hassle?

How are you finding the build in general? it seems like the best of both worlds with xc efficiency and suspension that is more capable than SID/SIDLux

If you are familiar servicing suspension, it is not difficult. However, you also need all other tools required for a full rebuilt. I would also recommend vacuum bleeding the shock to make sure the lock out works accordingly. If you have the tools and the vacuum bleed machine. It is very easy! 
 

This bike is so good. I have no desire for the new Epic8 Evo because this is just better. The suspension works and it is super efficient to pedal. 
 

About the air can. I think the progressive air can was a good choise but it would work well with the linear air can as well. I have 1 positive volume spacer and 1 negative volume spacer on mine and the HBO seems to be stopping the stroke. Does not feel too progressive. I can't feel any ramp up in the progression

Hey, where did you source the damper shaft & damper body?

I placed an order with Bikeinn, as they claimed to have the parts in stock and ready for dispatch. Turns out that was not the case and that need to have them delivered from RS. 

BR,

Yup, got the air can from Bike24. And my local retailer is able to source the damper body. Damper shaft seems tricky though as it is not in stock from the retailers i can find and rockshox can only supply it in september......

Pretty dissapointing as i thought Bikeinn would be able to provide the parts. 

Also does not seem as if current air shaft can be cnc lathed down in length....
