I'm looking for a 120 29er fork for my Titus Ti Fireline.
- Maxle
- Tapered steerer
- Preferably white, but not a killer.

I'm struggling to see past the bargain Revs on CRC. What other forks can I run at 120?

I've got revs on my Fireline.

I got the 140mm ones and was going to shim them down to 120mm but, tbh, they've been more than fine running them at 140 so I've left them there 🙂

Im running Revs at 130 on my clockwork. Its the upper limit of the frame warranty but they've been great and would highly recommend them.

I've had 26 Revs and was very happy with them. The only 29 Revs at a decent price are on CRC, and are black with a 20 mm Maxle.

Are all 29 er Reba and SID adjustable internally to 120?

I don't think so. I can't remember for sure but I think some of the 80mm ones have shorter stanchions?

bit of a duff picture (and not my fence) but here's mine with the revs just after I built it.

Leftfield choice of white brothere Loop. 120-140 internally adjustable, nice stealthy black with goldy stanchions...

Very nice smooth forks with a clever magnetic platform system..

May have a set for sale in the classifieds as well....

What is the RS equivalent of the Slide? Is it like a Reba?

I got one of those CRC Revs for my 29er HT, can't think of a fork I'd rather have for that kind of money.

The 20mm axle is a big plus IMO.

OP - What wheels are you using?

The 20mm axle was no issue with the hope hubs I used, but depending on your wheelset it may be a little restrictive?

No wheels yet - I decided to hold off until I got the fork, then buy to fit. Possibly the Superstar Tesla/Pacenti TL28 combo, which comes in all axle flavours.

X Fusion slide, due in a week or two, or revelation lowered to 120 as nice and stiff for trail stuff.

I'm also being tempted by the Manitou Tower Pro. 120 travel, 15mm Maxle, tapered, white - £234 on CRC!!

I bought the revs on CRC - spacing down to 120mm took 20 mins and I really took my time. Very easy. Also you will want to drop the legs anyway - they ship with no oil in the lowers.
