I've got a set of reba race 29 2007 model. I had the dust seals out and noticed mud in the foam rings. Can I just whip these out and clean em up or do I need to replace them?
I also want to fit a remote lockout on them. I've seen kits that are just cable and remote, is this enough to convert or do I need internal stuff to.
The collective wisdom of STW would be most appreciated.

I always clean mine with water and reuse them. Assume you know to saturate them with oil before refitting?

Yep, new moco unit, unless somebody knows how to bodge a spring into a crown mounted one. You best bet is to put up a wanted ad on here as people usually want to go the other way.
Clean with water and soak with oil. Check.
Moco unit? What's that?
would that be a Motion Control Unit?
Yes
Sorry for being a numpty...
I need moco unit, cable and remote?
Depends, sometime You'll get the fork ready for poplock (the remote) but without poplock. You'll have a groove in the blue adjuster to put a cable through it and it will not stay in one place apart from open (the spring in MC unit makes it go back). However if You have a lockout on the fork leg, that You can lock out the fork with by just flicking the lever and the fork stays locked out than yes You'll need a new motion control internals, cable and a remote . This is expensive brand new, but like Retro83 said some guys want to swap, so worth putting a wanted ad on classifieds.
