  • Can I swap Reba 20mm lowers for 15mm lowers?

    Are the uppers all the same spacing I.e can take any lower? But confused by 20mm being 110 and 15mm being 100mm spacing??

    I’m confused as wanting to buy some 20mm forks and then convert to 15mm (as I don’t have a 20mm wheel!)

    Thanks

    Spacing between the uppers is still the same so it’ll work.

    It would be way easier to just get a fork with 15mm lowers.

    Drop me a line if interested in a lightly used secondhand one.

    Rather than changing lowers would it not be cheaper to get a 20mm axle wheel ?

    It depends on the forks been a similar year as there was a changeover where the Reba moved from a Revelation chassis to a SID chassis.

    Thanks all, realised that my hub is in fact changeable (doh) for £12 and some 20mm adapters purchased!

    Job done

    The real challenge will be getting the Reba forks to function properly. Sramtech deny it but many Rebas suffer from a build up of air pressure in the lowers on the air side which blights the performance and in many instances blows the seals off.
    I speak from personal experience of four Rebas and you’ll find other posts saying the same.
