Currently running my ti 29er with rigid carbons, h-bars and soft front tyre. Actually quite comfy but planning a sus fork for the summer. Ideal would be maxle rebas but too much £££. Currently down to 09 Rock Shox Reba SL 80mm for £378 or 08 Manitou Minute 29 Absolute 80mm, 20mm Axle for £319. Latter would mean a new front wheel at £120+ .

Any thoughts on above?

seriously Matt, no question, sell a family member:

Get the maxle lites. superb. got mine from Mark Anthony Cycles

quite pleased with this wheel too, WTB WW 2.55″ on Salsa Gordo 🙂

Having owned the ‘old’ Reba Race – wet noodle, the White Brothers Fluid 135 and now the new Reba Team, the Team is all the fork I need/want.

I have a 5″ travel 29r coming and while I will try the F135 on it, I know I will almost certainly settle with the Reba – stiff, compliant (makes the WB’s feel stiff), samll & large hits taken easily – it rocks!

Mark – stop showing off! 😀 (loving the frame btw)
Bonesetter – are the Teams the qr or 20mm?

loving the frame btw

phew.

i have the 120mm 20mm bolt thru on the ventona
AWESOME DUDE innit.
make the fox and older rebas seem very eeerrmm soft.

happy with my minutes 😀
they knock on rebound, which is a known prob (well, its not a prob, just a bit annoying), and has a fix available (which i haven’t bothered with). i have the QR version, and it does seem very stiff.
look good too 8)
