Between the SRAM/Rockshox site, most of the well known online retailers and Fisher outdoors' rubbish website Im at a loss to find any sensible technical info about the new Rockshox Reba 29er range.
Specifically does anyone here know:
1) which of the range has all travel adjustment, whether 80/100 or 100/120 or 80/100/120?
There's conflicting bits of info on say, the CRC site:
"Rock Shox Reba SL 29er Dual Air Forks 2009, - 80mm Black - Travel - 100mm Travel Adjust: All Travel" WTF?
"Rock Shox Reba Team 29er Dual Air Forks 2009 - 100mm Black"
"Rock Shox Reba SL 29er Dual Air Forks 2009 - 80mm Black"
"Rock Shox Reba Team Dual Air Forks - • Travel - 100 / 120mm Travel Adjust: All Travel"
etc etc
and the activesport.co.uk site:
"Reba Team 29er Dual Air 120",
"Reba Team 29er Dual Air 100", or
"Reba SL 29er Dual Air 80, 100mm Travel Adjust: All Travel" WTF?
Just seems like a car crash of copy & paste marketing junk with nothing useful to help you pick the one you want.! grrrrrr.
and
2) anyone know what the A-C is for the maxle lite versions at any of the travel settings?
You'd think manufacturers/importers/distrbutors/retailers woul dmake it easier to spend money...
cheers
You've emailed Sram technical?

barnes - thank you thats fantastic!, where was the link? I went to the tech docs section and it just had the 2008 manuals!
zaskar, I shouldnt have to send an email to the US to get some pretty basic info. I will of course end up wasting theirs and my time with an email if I have to.
that makes the new 09s look perfect at 453, 473 and 493 for 80/100/120 it should work really well with the Ti29. Been riding it more with the O-O carbons at 470mm and the handling is so much better than with the subs which have an A-x closer to 500mm.
Now just got to find someone who will sell me some ALl travel adjust ones with a maxle for less than £500! 🙂

Under service|user specs & standards
got it now thanks.
Still nothing in there on the travel setup, or against the Reba service page.
I think their website needs a bit of an overhaul and less flashy animations.
