Cheers GT.

It is quite confusing because wherever I was looking description was saying All Travel 80-100 for QR versions.

Thanks!

@IvanMTB: All Rock Shox Reba 29″er forks have internally adjustable travel by adding/removing spacers. A PDF file exists on SRAM/Rock Shox’s site that will show you how to do this. Any QR Reba 29″er can be increased to 120mm travel this way.

Hi,
Friend of mine is looking to buy Reba Team 29er. The problem is that he wants to have it 120mm of travel and QR not Maxle Lite. Does something like this exist at all?
Cheers!
I.

@Hizzity:

I’ve found this is the best way to set up the Reba; empty the negative air chamber. Set the positive, zero out your travel zip tie/ring and then bounce around like crazy, adjusting the amount of + air until you can just barely bottom out the fork. Then set the – pressure to either equal + pressure or 15 psi over. Set it over if you want more small bump compliance, = to if you want higher compression.

I’ve discovered this is at least a good 50 psi less than the recommended settings!

@simenf – I was impressed at the time too, with my 2008 HiFi 29 Plus, and I still am. Right now, it is doing fairly heavy trail duty (by my standards, anyway) on Stouts and awesomely ridid Flows/340s. Rumblefish looks interesting enough, but not so much as to make me give the old green thing up – not at all. I like my upgraded X9 drivetrain vs. the Rfish Shimano spec, and it is never at fault if things don’t go right on the trail.

The SF100 has, on the other hand, taken on the endurance role – it’s no slouch on drops either.
