If so how can i do it myself or do i need to call tf tuned.. i have never taken apart a suspension fork but do all other mechanicals myself.

i want to take them from 140mm to 120mm as I don't really like the high front end on my chameleon.

regards

It's possible to do it, not done it myself as my LBS did it for me in about 15 minutes when I bought my forks off them - instructions are in the manual though

Take a look at the video tutorials on the RS website.Its easier than you think.

In fact I am currently in the process of doing my Rebas......

Yep, really easy, done it for my wife's dual air revs, you need the spacer though, did your forks come with it? if not drop me an email, I think I have a spare somewhere.

Upped the travel on my Rebas this weekend, was intimidated to begin with but it's no more difficult than anything else on a bike.

right i've seen this video [url=

leg removal[/url] don't like the idea of hitting my forks but okay.

There is no way i am doing this while unemployed [url=

air service[/url]

But don't think I have to, I have looked through the manual but it says refer to the RS website or your dealer to change travel and i can't find the required video.

taking the fork apart does look alright but i don't wanna **** my fork.

but does the reduction of travel reduce the length of your fork, or is the fork the same length ???
