Does anybody know if it's possible to increase the travel from 120 to say 130 or 140?

Reba teams only go up to 120mm, and less if you put spacers in the air spring. If it is the maxle one, someone'll bite your hand off on the classifieds (they are soooooo good but still rather expensive) and you could buy some revelation u-turn maxles instead. In face i think newer revelations were also made at qr. Or sell the fork and get a fox float 140 (also qr) for silly cheap new from on-one.

Cheers, yes, they are the maxle version. Another 10mm would have been nice.

I don't think I could part with them, they're cracking forks. A very stiff and solid feel.

I got them in the states for 250 quid from the wheelandsprocket.com eBay shop, not sure if they still have any left.

Is it true that fox forks require more servicing than rockshox?

please edit you post to remove that name now!!!!!!!!! (now I have it noted... hmmm not seling anything at them mo)

£350 2nd hand seems to be the norm (too damned expensive for my pockets)...but no they're listed as 80/100/120 only.

yes.

I love my reba maxle team so much i think i might consider a different frame rather than a different fork!

I think the revelation team has the same damper (black box) which is apparently what makes them so much nicer than the normal motion control ones. Might be worth looking for folks' experience of them if you want a longer slihgtly heavier fork with similar performance.

Sorry about that, too late to edit now. I wasn't thinking, error duly noted.
