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" ๐Ÿ˜‰

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!
