Can someone confirm/ deny that the All Travel spacers in the 2009 Rockshox are 20mm rather than the 15mm of previous years?
Looking for a 120mm fork but there are loads of bargains on 09 100mm models with All Travel and I want to make sure I can adjust them to 120mm
Even if they still use 15mm spacers, they probably have two in there so you could just cut one down, or get a different sized one.
I was looking at this a while back and I'm pretty sure all QR Rebas are limited to 100, and can only go down to 80mm. You have to get the Maxle version to get 120mm, or go up to a Rev/Pike.
The At spacers I have (09) are 20mm.
Page 48:
Doesn't mention a specific model for the Rebas but it does say the spacers are 20mm.
These deals at Merlin are very tempting but I'm reluctant to buy then find out I'm stuck with 100 or 80mm

The Boardman full sussers come with Reba SL or Race forks with 120mm travel plus those forks are shown on the Rockshox site as 80/100/120 options

It was Merlin who I contacted re the travel, they said they were all limited to 100mm (non-maxle).
FWIW, Reba Teams w/maxle can be had for £400, and Maxles Revs for less if your budget can stretch.
PS - the Sram site is shite for explaining the diff flavours of fork and the options.
Agreed, the SRAM site is awful
A response from the distributor
The aftermarket 26" Reba Teams Maxle-Lites (product code RS332020) come stock set at 120mm of travel and can be reduced to 100mm by installing the all travel spacer.All 26" QR Rebas we sell come set at 100mm and can be reduced to 80mm using a similar process.
There are OE forks out there which forego the All-travel system to save costs but as we do not deal with those so we would be unable to comment on these.
Hope that clears things up.
