[#795500]

Just got a 2009 Reba Team 120mm

Fork sticker suggests pos and neg pressures of 135 psi for me at 14 stone kitted up

Early rides suggest these may be a bit high as I'm only getting thru about half the travel

What pressures are you running?

I'm 12.5 kitted up and run them on the lower end of the recommended range.

I'm 11.5 all up sopping wet and run mine at 95psi, still not getting full travel unless it's a truly big hit

13stone, still playing with pressures but 130+/- seems good. Doesn't really match up with what everyone else has posted though!!

Download the manual for refs and play around with what suits your riding style.

I'm about 10.5 stone with kit and have mine at 90+ and 85-. I find I need the rebound set almost as fast as it will go too.

Mine took a good bit of experimenting with the pressures but it's well worth it, small changes seemed to make a big difference. At least I don't think it was only in my head.

I'm 14.5 stone and run 130 pos and 110 neg, i find this minimises brake dive a bit, i hate brake dive.
