    i’ve got a 2012 (i think) reba rlt 29er with 100mm, can i adjust it to have 120mm of travel?

    and when i say “can i” what i actually mean is “can i pay someone else to do it for me” 😉

    Unfortunately there’s only one way to find out and that’s to take them apart and see if there’s a spacer in there, some OEM forks are fixed and can’t be extended.

    I believe they did away with all travel spacers in 2013 so you might be lucky.

    2013 and onward forks need a change of spring cartridge
    2012 and earlier have spacers to adjust travel….. Mostly!
    I’ve had a lot apart and I reckon 4 out of 5 can be extended. The only way to be sure is to open it up though!
    If you’re anywhere near Farnborough, Hants, email me!

    thanks peter, i’m in leeds otherwise i’d be in touch,,, i’ve watched a few videos now on youtube, and it doesn’t seem like it’s anything that really beyond me to strip them down… i may even have a go

    day off tomorrow
    house to myself
    what could go wrong
    😐

    edit: i should probably buy a service kit 1st, mind!
