Does anyone on here know if the rebas travel can be adjusted? There is a set for sell in the classfieds and just wondered.
Thanks

You've got to take them apart then there's little plastic spacers which limit the travel to 80, 100 or 115/120mm. Remove all of them for maximum travel.

As usual the font of all knowledge does not disappoint. I suppose the next question is if damages any of internal workings etc. I wood assume not if there are 3 different amounts of travel.
Thank you ES

Its fine to do - they make one fork and then sell it with differing amounts of spacers at different travel - almost all RS forks are like this but there is the odd one that does not have the travel adjuster spacers

all the info on how to do it is downloadable from the rockshox site

I am presuming that if I take the spacers out of my 100mm rebas the ride height won't be affected? The stanchions will just go 20mm further into the lowers?

Incorrect. If you increase the travel by 20mm, the fork will now be 20mm longer at static, so you will now have 20mm more stanchion showing from the off.

Is this the case for the Reba RLT 29er forks as well?

I have a set that were boxed new and sold as 100mm travel, but there isn't enough stanchion on show to allow 100mm of travel?

And where is the link on the RS site, i was looking the other day and couldn't find anything.
