Hey Peeps - just bought myself a Rockshox Revelation from Merlin and want to convert it from 150mm to 130mm as would suit my bikes geometry better. I've heard its possible and isn't too difficult to do but can't find any "instructions" - can anyone point me in the right direction? thx a million

Revelation Technical Manual 2011:

I converted my 140mm to 150mm by taking out the spacer. However, you will need to add two spacers which you may not of got with the OEM forks from merlin.
