I think most current rebas can be spaced down.

I'm pretty sure that [url= http://www.mojo.co.uk/index.html ]Mojo[/url] can reduce travel on Fox forks.

They certainly took a set of 100mm 32's down to 80mm for me back in 2007, albeit they were for a 26er.

26 Lefty modified to accomodate a 29 inch wheel will be 80-90mm travel as it is reduced to stop the tyre hitting the crown. A-C height remains unchanged AFAIK. Go on, you know you wan to be crazy and get a Lefty ๐Ÿ˜€

White bro's loops can be shimed down to 80mm - but they stopped making them this year.

My 26" Lefty, spaced to 90mm. Or 80 if you wished.

5 minute job.

Although I secretly cover the lefty, I'm ruling it out because I'd have to fork (!) out for a new hub and spokes as well. Actually after a 1 1/8 non tapered steerer and some kind of thru axle, either 15mm or 20mm. There doesn't seem to be anything around!
