An oldie but goody? Or should I upgrade?

Coil sprung, simple internals, original Revelation chassis. It's on my SS. And I'm thinking that as a winter fork its bomb proof. But I'm also thing a reba solo air is two pounds lighter....

iirc the recon 351 that I had featured motion control and the original rebound damper (the good one that came before the dual flow rebound on '09 'team' forks) but not the floodgate/blow off. So I would say if the spring rate is fine and you can lock it out then it is still a goodie.

If you want to 'upgrade' I may have a home for them....

Well that's the point Nobby. Simple mo co and rebound on an original Rev chassis, with coil. Common sense says its a robust winter / SS option and at SS speed the performance of upgrading to a Reba is negligible.

Just trying to see if that's the mass opinion.
